| This poor child has such low self-esteem. Pulling her out of it sounds like a job for elves!! Thanks for the great chapter |

| Actually, it will take a while for the Elves to figure out how Ivoreth ticks. She's been pretty well beaten down, and they will have a lot of rebuilding to do. Hang in there. |

What a lovely chapter. And -
"She knew what to sing, when to sing it, and was a welcome addition; and for the very first time, Ivoreth got a faint glimmer of a feeling of what it might be like to belong in this new and very different world."
Is just perfect. |

Thanks for writing.
I'd like to think that Ivoreth will start to get little glimpses of what it will mean to actually belong in such a foreign society. It stands to reason that her first tastes of belonging would come when something is unexpectedly familiar in the middle of all that is strange. |

| Poor Ivoreth - but what a good chapter. I think it is always right to remember that not everything was peaceful and perfect during this post-war period, and I am so pleased for both her and Elrond that they broke through each other's reserve so well. |

I'm truly sorry for the lateness of these replies...
Elrond is going to be central to much of Ivoreth's healing for a while. He has been a parent, and so understands how a child thinks better than Elladan does at this point. And she's never been close to a grandparent before (her time with Celeborn was very brief, remember?) For all we know, she never knew her real parents' parents in Minas Tirith (and her Da was an orphan, remember?) So yea, Elrond is going to be very special to her. |

| It is always a treat to be notified of another chapter of this story. I am pleased to see Ivoreth and Elrohir on friendly terms at last, it is lovely to think that they have the love of music in common. I wonder what the sadness is when Elrohir thinks of a wife? Someone he would want to court but can't, or simply the change it will make to the relationship between the twins when Elladan is wed? |

| Elrohir's mood when he thinks on the one he would have as his wife will come clearer. I'm glad you're enjoying this. Thanks for the review. |

| Wow, Erestor, Bilbo, and hints of Lindir , what a great chapter...lol. I enjoy the shyness of Erestor and Ivoreth's reaction to him. Teacher elf would be a great name for Erestor. Thanks for writing this great story....Daniel |

| I love your characterizations! Both of tolkien's elves and of their interactions with Ivoreth. What insights into the mind of a child - how the acts of desperation during the horrors of war still haunt her. Poor child! The adults especially Elladan and Elrohir are also haunted in their own ways. -Thanks for sharing your story. I look forward to more. |

I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I know that the kinds of experiences Ivoreth had stay with a person for a long time, especially when the trauma just keeps going on and getting worse. And I would imagine that the thought of losing most of their family except Celeborn would be very hard for the sons of Elrond to deal with too. Ivoreth is not necessarily landing in a "happy" family situation - all are having to deal, one way or the other.
Thanks for writing. |

Wow, each chapter keeps getting better and better! This is one of those stories that you just want to keep reading and reading until you come to the the very last word. Thanks for taking the time to write this story......Daniel  |

Thanks, Daniel!
I had fun writing this too - imagining the steps Ivoreth would have to take to begin to actually heal from what she's been through. I'm glad you're enjoying the story as much as I did in writing it. |
