Ah, I love it, Marta! What an awkward situation for the new ambassador, and how like Elrond to try to set him at his ease. The activities you describe sound so appropriate for the times. And Elrond's gift for Pippin's new school is perfect!

Wonderful! I love these short stories that seems to fill the days between the major events of book. I can picture the past and future mingling in the moment. You captured it and wrote it beautifully.

A very nice and, IMO, faithful portrayal of Elrond - something I really appreciate in a story. The writing itself is very good, and the characterisation excellent. Really enjoyed it.

Marta, this is wonderful. I have missed reading your work. You always manage to infuse so much into a short story. Elrond is wonderfully characterized and the comment about the Hobbits learning that there was more to the world than the Shire was an excellent insight. Your writing just gets better and better all the time. Very Happy smiley face

Again, Marta, you've done a remarkable job at getting into your characters heads at wonderfully mundane and exemplary moments in their lives. While you draw Elrond out and give this known character some lovely new depths, your completely new character of Halbeleg is likewise a full and strong character. Well done.

It is little moments of everyday life that I love to read. Fics like this make ME so much more real. I felt like I was there. Thank you for the little trip.

What a wonderful way to tie in these small but very informative events and happenings.
