Hello, Rhapsody! I thought I remembered seeing your tales at this site. It will take a while, but I will read everything and comment....someone rated this story "boring"....perhaps it's the same person who rated my Celebrimbor drabble "boring"! (see my tales here) Well, everyone's entitled to an opinion.
I like this wee tale as a glimpse of sorrow. It's a good idea to compare Elrond/Celebrian with Gilraen/Arathorn. As an Aragorn writer, I think at once of the influence on him of his two parents (mother and foster father) experiencing this kind of loss.
