| Thank you so much Daniel - it is really good to know that you are reading. I am hard at work on the next chapter, but also have an essay to write - the joys of continuous education! |

There's sadness in this chapter, perhaps it has a lot to do with being an immigrant in a unknown country (even if the people aren't really new); maybe it's because the mortals around and the ones left behind. It's another great installment of your saga  Thank you for sharing. |

Thank you. I'm glad that you felt that sadness - I didn't want it to be all sweetness and easy living. There are going to have to be adjustments made all round. In some ways Tindómë is best suited to it all - not only has she made such adjustments herself, already, but she thinks of them as being a bit like the European settlers in America.
There were often, as I'm sure you know too, people who left homes in Europe to sail to the New World to meet up with family members they might never have met before... and this is part of who she once thought she was. |

I think Legolas has every right to feel not-quite-at-home in Valinor. After all, the sea longing is one thing, but getting settled in an unfamilar land is another. Besides, Valinor may just seem a bunch of myths, legends never verified, so yeah, he shouldn't really feel guilty, even though the hobbits already think it home there. As ever, Gimli has some great lines
Tindome is right, they should look around for trees, so that they could forget about their problems, with homes and mothers-in-law 
Good stuff! Thank you for updating |

Thank you. Of course the hobbits, especially Frodo as he pointed out, have been there for a while - and, in effect, live life in a different time-frame; but Legolas has all sorts of guilt going on - he's left his father and brother behind, he's taken Gimli away from his caves, he's got elves who chose to accompany him and leave their families behind in the same way... and then there is still Ithilienne...
So now he has the worry about whether he should set off with his people to look for a new home, without even knowing what land might or might not belong to someone else, or stay near the hobbits until they die - and where would Gimli feel best, and... so on and so on! |

| Thank you so much - it is so good to know that you are reading. The next chapter is half written; off-line life has slowed me down a little recently - there has been too much of it! |
