Watta cliff hanger!

O my, do you honestly expect us to wait until next Friday to see how in Arda those three are going to get out of trouble? I mean, this chapter must be the mother of all cliff-hangers. It's not just the danger that the cousins are in, but also Turko's injury. And what happened to Annawende? In another post you told me that something is going to happen to her, but now... I'm almost afraid

Yes, I am mean and evil and expect everyone to wait until next Friday to see how the boys get out of their self-imposed snafu....

Of course, you all *know* that they won't die. So it's not so mean, really. ;)
It's a little strange, though, how he fears his father so much and would rather run away.I think I'd be deviating too far from canon for comfort if I negated the fact that Feanor has an awful temper. Despite being a good father, this is part of his personality too, and his sons know it. And fear it. I'm sure he probably gave Tyelko reason to run from the forge, screaming and crying. (Actually, I think he might talk about this in the next chapter.) The difference is that, now, he still maintains the ability to see when his temper gets the best of him and try to correct his failings. Later, that's not going to happen as easily

Wowy, the comments for this chapter are springing up so fast I can barely keep up. When I started reading it, there were no comments and now... And the replies... Dawn, how do you do it

Lol! I. Don't. Know. ;D
My husband--wonderful, patient man that he is for putting up with me--always snickers behind his hands at me on Fridays. He knows that on Posting Friday, I will be on the computer for most of the day, answering comments.
But I love it. That's why I do it. I've learned so much from the people who write into my LJ; I am really grateful to every one of them. I'd give up lots of things before Posting Fridays and the chaos that follows after! :)
Oh, and it helps that I have a job that could be done by an untrained monkey, where both of my bosses have already left for the day (it is precisely noon, over here), leaving me to play on the Internet and work on my NaNo story as much as I want. (Not that I don't do that when they're here too....)
Pssst... don't tell Feany, but I had a major crush on Finrod a while ago, before I decided that troubled Feanorians are more to my taste.:D I still have a crush on--as

Methinks that Turko's reasons for running away are basically:
He feels that it's his fault Annawende got hurt; He's been banned from the forge, Feanor was majorly angry, Nelyo probably is pretty annoyed with him too (see point 1), he's having a bout of regret for picking on Fingon, and feeling rather abashed that Fingon's being nice to him; He's pretty stressed, and is no good in the forge; He feels that his life is pretty awful.
Drat, I wish I could study psychology, just to get inside these Feanorians' minds.

Psychology is a dangerous thing. I majored in psychology and minored in writing, the result of which was the compulsion to write an overlong novel about mentally ill Elves....
(Well, not mentally ill yet...perhaps the factors that led to later mental illness? ;D)
