| Wonderful epilogue. I forgot that you had promised this. I love the talk with Glorfindel and the description of hearing Namo. I particularly love the line about 'that's the second time you turned away.' I like little things like that and the character's discovery of their meaning. And the last line. You should be ashamed of yourself! :) What a terrible joke! :) Very nicely done to litten the mood at the last for us. Great story Jay. Author Reply: Elrohir and Glorfindel have shared a unique experience, so I thought it natural that Elrohir would want to talk of it. Namo did not confuse the twins, of course - but Elrohir will not realise his meaning for another 100-odd years. I'm so glad I put that last line in - I nearly didn't! | |

| Oh pain! Bad pun! No warning given! Pain! I enjoyed this epilogue,Jay. I particularly liked the talk with Glorfindel, of course. I was struck by his description of his death as a coming home. Author Reply: Do you think it needs a pun warning? I'm sorry, I couldn't resist it ;) I wanted to make Námo and the Halls sound very welcoming, to make it all the harder for Elrohir to decide not to go with him. Glorfindel didn't have a choice, of course - but who else could Elrohir talk to about this? Thanks, Daw. | |

| 'Finding Námo', indeed! What an ending! Glorfindel would understand rather better than most, wouldn't he? And I take it Elrohir still doesn't know that he practically didn't survive his birth. It's good to see everyone back home safe and sound. I hope the twins give their poor family and friends a few weeks off before they next drive them to despair. (Although you don't need to!) Author Reply: *grin* I couldn't resist it! Who better that Glorfindel to talk to about this? And although I've written the scene where Elrohir finds out what happened when he was born (in the epilogue to Two By Two), it doesn't happen for another 100-odd years, so at this stage he doesn't know, and wonders what Námo meant. I think the family deserve a little peace and quiet now - my next story is when the twins are around 15, and Elrohir makes a surprising discovery. It shouldn't be as angsty as this tale! Thanks for the review, Bodkin! | |
