I love stories that show how different races learn about and respect one another. You chose such great examples here.

Thanks. I'm pleased you liked the pair.

I'm playing catch-up with my own challenges here - now to find some orcish stuff!

this is great! I do love reading about differing perceptions, and you chose great examples here. Particularly loved the bit about "paltry dwellings".

*G* We all have our prejudices, it was interesting to look at and confound them.

Thanks!
I'm very much enjoying your 4th Age series - after Sindar, you've got two more peoples to find in those library books. *g*

I love these drabbles for they illustrate that the two races can appreciate a deeper understanding of each other due to the time spent together in the Quest of Erebor. Very nice description and realizations.

You've so neatly worked out what they have in common here as people, as well as their individual virtues.

Thanks - when I came to look at the two, their similarities became more obvious.
