That is certainly a unique perspective on prompts. The characterization wins--you introduce all of the players as old friends. One feels like one owes them a warm "welcome back!" Nellas is such an odd creature, isn't she? That's one lucky dog also! I think that doggie mom is going to have a rather cushy time raising those pups.

The mood and setting and is perfect and yes, Mablung and Beleg are extremely likeable and attractive.

I've already told you this elsewhere--but I think this is a great story. I love Beleg here and his courage and kindness. I also enjoyed your characterization of Mablung and mysterious Nellas.

And I was charmed with the ending!

Yay wardens!! I really enjoyed this glimpse into a normal quite day alone the normerne border of doriath. 😀 You know I love your Beleg and his indulgence of Mablung, even when he is being a bored pain in the ass. d84;
