Well done; this is a fascinating delve into Nolofinwë's and Lalwendë's personalities!  I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, especially Lalwendë's prescience and honesty when young resulting in her being able to predict how conversations would turn out.  She is not one I have given much thought to before, but this story really brought her to life.
