I think this is a great response to the challenge--it captures the style of a particular type of fairy-tale really well--and it is also a style I really like. I'm sure Luthien will forgive you for doing such a good job, even if a little slander is involved!

Ah, but even if she does forgive me (eventually, you know, once she gets her own fairytale and her one-handed human) Fingon will not, for I called him things.  You know, vain, and stuff.  I care far more about Fingon's approval than Lúthien, believe me.

(...or, thank you very much for your kind words - I'm very happy you enjoyed it!)
