I love this chapter. Sometimes with all the different stories I read about Elves, I forget that Tolkein did not mean for them to be perfect or without any fear. I really enjoy the way you broached that subject with Haldir. Thanks....Daniel
p.s. Can't wait for the next chapter!!

Nope. Elves have feelings, just like us; as a matter of fact, I believe their emotions are stronger, sharper, and their reactions heightened accordingly. I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

I am enjoying this very much, and I am hoping to read a great deal more of it.

Meg is a very interesting character, so wounded and alone, and so much in need of acceptance and friendship. I am not saying that Rivendell is the cure for all ailments, but that she might find peace and happiness in this secluded place, and could perhaps help them to understand the wider world and how it has changed.

Yes, Meg had a good reason to find Imladris. I'm glad you're enjoying this.

I love the mysterious Wendell. The round about way that he answers Meg's questions is entertaining. Thanks for this great chapter....Daniel

Wendell's character was an interesting one to develop. So little is actually said of him in canon except in negative terms. He is a very gentle soul that has been a great deal of fun to get to know. Glad you're enjoying the story so much.

Oh my - the truth is very, very big and scary. I do love Celeborn trying to communicate - a time when he must, as at many others, have wished for his wife by his side.

I had an absolute blast trying to figure out just how many words Celeborn could have learned to murder the language and still make himself understood. I do believe that he stood behind me and helped me out as I wrote that part (and he can come stand behind me again ANYTIME, I tell you!) Thanks for writing.

Does happy dance for Meg and 'Wendell' - even though I guess it won't be all that simple...

There's a lot for her to consider, isnt' there? Thanks for writing.

What an excellent chapter - I am so happy for them both - and also rather pleased to see that this is not the end of the story.

Such a lovely ending to a lovely story. I do enjoy your writing; it is not too full of angst, but not sugary sweet either - just right.

Or possibly 'Just write! ' :~)
