Oh, my! Such depth. This was a lovely read and so touching. Elrond seeing his long-dead brother in the face of the boy, the determination (and probable heartbreak) of a mother who KNOWS, Estel beginning to understand that bigger and foreboding things might be coming his way...the history, the atmosphere. Just flawless. Wonderfully done! Thank you for sharing.

What an excellent start to what I hope will become the first of many chapters (hint, hint). You had just the perfect hint of foreshadowing of greater things yet to come for young Estel. Please continue with this story, because I am dying to learn more about our beloved Ranger's childhood in Rivendell.

It was written with the ultimate craftmanship of your Tolkien muse, which amazes me every time you write. Thank you, for a wonderful read.

Very enjoyable fic! I have to say, it made me think and realize just how strong Estel would have to be at such a young age. Very enjoyable story, you painted a vivid and endearing story.

One of the things I liked about this story was how it respects the fact that children's thoughts can be very hard to know. We think we know what they are thinking and then they surprise us, as Estel does to Elrond here. I liked the reminder of the child's descent from Elros and also the awkwardness that Gilraen seems to feel. Estel must indeed have felt out of place sometimes. But Elrond is a great tutor, letting Estel pick what he wants to do that day.

Wow, that was excellent. It tied many things together so well. The whole thing just flowed and read wonderfully.

That was a simply beautiful little vignette, and it stands beautifully on its own--though I agree that it would be great to see more of Aragorn at this stage in his life.

The only thing is that I keep wondering exactly how old he's supposed to be! Not that that's a big thing.

Lovely story!
