Oh Thranduil, Thranduil - tell her what you fear, stupid male - or she is right in her assessment of your relationship, harsh though it sounds...

Like a lot of otherwise intelligent people, he's inarticulate when it comes to talking about feelings. In the beginning, he didn't tell her he loved her or ask her to marry him. He handed her a betrothal gift and hoped she would understand.

In the end, it's going to be another gesture that reconciles them, but I'm getting ahead of myself. :)

Thank you for commenting!

Considers Thranduil presenting his beloved with a personalised toilet seat... maybe not!

ROFL! With the royal oak leaf seal of the Great Greenwood on it.

*putting the idea aside for further reference*

Well, you just knew she wasn't going to take it well! No wife would. If only he'd just share his nightmares with her, but wait, what am I thinking? He's a man! er, male anyway. :) I'm looking forward to seeing how he gets out of this situation.

LOL -- if people consistently behaved intelligently we wouldn't have much dramatic conflict. "No, Thranduil -- don't go in the attic!" ROFL

I'm looking forward to seeing how he gets out of this situation.

In his customary bull-headed, well-intentioned fashion. But that's going to take a few more chapters.

Oh no -- going to bed angry is so not good! ::worries::

I do like the plans for indoor plumbing though.

[jael_the_scribe]

Going to bed angry = not a good idea. Refusing to talk the problem out = not a good idea. But if you've been reading my stories all along, you'll know that Thranduil is not a one for talking about his feelings. About once in an entire Age is his limit.

Indoor plumbing = good. LOL
