The summary for your story really caught my eye. It's so sweet the way Duron interacts with the small elf. I'll be sure to be watching this story. Nicely done!

This is nicely written, and a lovely thought. Often understanding and change begin so, with one small open heart. One thing bothers me, though, and that is how the Dwarf and the Elf child would communicate. I wondered that they knew a common language.

I am enjoying the way you are portraying the dwarfs. Duron seems to realize that he has found a treasure more precious than any jewel. The little elf doesn't seem to be from Mirkwood? Hmm... where could she be from? This should be interesting...
Dain's way of thinking is amusing: If they say hand over the elfling, we'll hand over the elfling, if they don't say hand over the elfling, we'll just pretend we didn't notice she was and elfling and then as the years go by ....how funny!
Looking forward to your next update.

Dain is really starting to dig a hole for himself, isn't he?
Tunnon senses something, but obviously doesn't spend enough time with dwarves to make the distinction between normal behavior and guilty behavior.

Yes, yes, good idea. No sense sending the child off with the unrefined wood elves. Their customs are probably different... She would be confused... We must remember to mention her to Elrond's people the next time we cross paths... Okey Dokey! Now that that's settled.....Where's the guilt offering, I mean burial offering.

Once again, looking forward to your next update.

Duron is so gentle! I'm a big fan of dwarves, and I love seeing them characterized as something other than comic-relief oafs.

There's something wonky going on with the quotation marks in chapter 2: “Ada! Ada!” I figure this is easily fixed.

Chap 3 ... Yay, Dain! Good for you.

You know, this is a pretty good study in bigotry in general. I won't make apples-to-apples comparisons here, but I think it's possible to *learn* something by reading this story. Do you have any idea how rare that is in fic?

Chapter 4... I might be tempted to add some he said/ he said tags in that long stretch of dialogue between Legolas and Thranduil. I read it twice to be sure I recognized who was saying what.

"Thranduil listened to his son’s laughter echoing down the corridor and missed his wife with all his heart." ... What a poignant moment from the mind of Thranduil.

Chapter 5 ... LOL: Gimli Elf-Friend has some very unfriendly thoughts, eh? But what a sweet change of heart.

Okay, now I know I have *something else* to be reading. I just couldn't resist the temptation to read about dwarves. You're doing them so well. Thank you!

Chapter 6 is beautiful. You really have a gift for writing dwarves. I love the conversations with Gimli and the hobbit storytelling session. But that last little bit, the internal thoughts of Duron, made me worry my bottom lip a little. Poor Duron! I can see bad things happening to him, on down the road, and I just want to beg for his happiness. He's a real gem, as much a treasure as Mireth.

Oooooh. I love the relationship developing between Mireth and Gimli! Squeee!
