And all of the interesting mishaps were named "Estel"? Poor child! But he would keep things interesting.

Author Reply: Larner!

Well at least it seemed like that to Gilraen....and probably Elrond as well. LOL! I always get the feeling that by the time Estel came to live in Imladris there were no other or at least very few other children. So one small curious child = many mishaps or disruptions to the ordered life of Rivendell. LOL!

Thanks for writing!

Oh, I can appreciate the feeling. And so was Imladris founded.

Author Reply: Larner!

Exactly! We all need a haven like Imladris! Thanks for taking the time to write!

Stay safe.

I'm sure it must have been a special feeling when he saw the valley for the first time. Well done!

Author Reply: Ellynn!

Exactly! They were beaten down and injured having lost any presence in Eregion. They needed healing!
Thanks for writing!

Stay safe!

Your mention of Thranduil's losses made me suddenly think of my uncle, who was a medic at the Battle of the Bulge. They said he didn't speak a word for a full six months after getting home from the war.

((hugs)) stay safe.

War affects the mind in some very tragic and traumatic ways. It really tests the human spirit. I always have found it very moving that Elves can die of grief or from having too many traumatic emotions weighing on their spirit. Their spirits are can be so damaged that they can simply fade away.

((hugs))

stay safe, mellon nin!

I had a sudden mental picture of Legolas's arrival being like the coming of the spring leaves to the barren winter trees. One day, the sky is grey and blustery, and the bare trees rear above like skeletons against the sky, seeming dead and desolate. And then the next day, the sky is blue, and the new leaves (or perhaps their buds?), barely emerged, appear to edge the treetops in fine lace. Alas, poor Thranduil. That campaign where so many heroes died (including Orophin) must have scarred his mind and heart forever after. I'm glad that Legolas could bring joy and some kind of healing.

(hugs) hope this finds you well.

Author Reply: Lindelea!

I love that image. And I do think that Legolas is central to Thranduil's heart. Thranduil lost his father and two-thirds of his army. I do his life experiences have seriously scarred him. Legolas is his joy.

And as I said to Larner, At least this once Thranduil gets to be happy and at peace.

I am well. Hope you are as well.

Stay safe.

((hugs))

Most sweet!

Author Reply: For once Thranduil gets to be happy! :-))

My kid is a recovering addict, and I remember the pain felt when we had to force him to face the consequences of his choices when he was high. Oh, yes, I understand Pippin's feelings here.

Author Reply: Most definitely. Happy to hear he is a recovering addict. Hard road. My Brother-in-law is as well.

I have been home more this last month, slow at work, as have many of us.So I have been re-reading many older works as well as new posts. You have indeed done her characters perfect justice. I can not ever imagine our Pippin growing into a father whose children did not know he loved them, even in times of trouble!

Author Reply: Demeter d!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write! And thank you for your kind word about the drabbles. I really thought about what to write in these drabbles hoping that I could make the words sound true to Lindelea's characterisations, so yeah! :-))
