Delightful!!!  So many little treasures in this.  I love that Elwing has a little extra sense (in more ways than one).  Especially that she doesn't *exactly* trust his judgement in terms of safety.

It is lovely to see them younger, interacting as children and exploring their world, perhaps just past the edge of wonder but not quite the jaded eyes of adults.

I liked that a lot!

The dynamics between the two and also Elwing's observations in general.

I'm interested in what that Maia is going to say, if he does talk to them.

That is a wonderful cover, and I love what you have done with it. Headcanon accepted about Elwing being able to perceive Maiar.
