| jenolas, Very good addition. I especially liked the explanation as to why the two friends could not serve together. I felt a bit for Legolas as I'm certain he would be nervous about his first patrol and hoped for the comforting presence of his friend. But I understand why the king and the captains wanted them separated. It seemed as if Legoals understood, too, but he wasn't happy about it. The feast was fun. Poor Tathar. Where the matters of the heart are concerned, it can certainly cloud one's judgement. Tathar was a brewing thunder storm when he thought Legolas was cutting in. I'm glad it worked out for Tathar and Mirieth. The mention of the Queen's sea longing was sad. Eventually, Legolas will lose his naneth and the full attention of his best friend. At least the loss of Tathar's free time with him was a happy one and I'm sure Legolas can share his friend. We know Legolas will eventually leave and more changes will come. Growing up brings so many changes. The two friends are moving into different stages of life. I look forward to next installment. Karen Author Reply: I hope you find the next parts interesting also. Legolas does not always get his own way, even though he is the son of the King! | |

| A very nice start. I like the friendship between Legolas and Tathar (I think I've come across another Tathar somewhere - the name sounds familiar.) I especially like the way Tathar defends his friend's honour when certain suggestions are made. I look forward to more. Jay Author Reply: "tathar" is Sindarin for willow tree, and that is my source for the name. If someone else has used it before, I am unaware of it, but I am glad you like the tale so far. | |

| Jenolas, Very good. I like how you explained the back story about the heavy losses the Greenwood took at the Last Alliance and the care of responsibity Thranduil felt for Tathar and his family. Tathar presents as something of an older brother for Legolas and his anger at the insults delivered by the other trainees was well done. They were out of line and possibly jealous of Legolas's skill and Tathar's closeness to the prince. Thranduil's advice for handling the situation was wise. The moment did give both friends an opportunity to realize and declare their devotion to each other, something they probably knew on some level but had been unspoken until then. I'm looking forward to the next glimpse into their adventures. Author Reply: Obviously there are many 'gaps' in Legolas's history, but I like to think an elf such as he would develop close friendships within Mirkwood. | |

| Well-written as always. I like the fact that you took up a realistic taunt and dealt with it rationally. Tathar gets angry but things don't fall apart and Thranduil knows the best thing is to ignore it. Author Reply: Thanks for your review, I like to think of Thranduil as both worldly and wise. | |
