Mmm, that's made me feel all warm and sleepy. And how cunning of you to make it about hair but to use the prompt word in a completely different context!

[curiouswombat]

Warm and sleepy is good.

Would you believe I had three documents open earlier - one was this - about Haldirin's birth; one was a 'Small Return' of about 2,000 words centred on Ithilienne's conception; and the third was the BigBang! story about them sailing West. It was a bit like time travelling!

This sounds like such a warm moment.

Thank you - There is a sense that the male elves support their wives through pregnancy - I wanted to show that - I'm glad it worked for you.

That is so sweet and I loved the last line.

"Condition" made me think of pregnancy too, though I've not yet written a drabble for this challenge.

[curiouswombat]

Thank you. It made me think of pregnancy almost straight away - it is interesting that it did you, too. I wonder if it would make very young women think of pregnancy or whether 'in your condition' has gone out of fashion?

Perfect! The last line really did it for me, I think.

[curiouswombat]

Thank you. That last line took me a while to find, so I am so glad that it worked for you.

What a soft and lovely piece, almost a little dreamlike.

[curiouswombat]

Thank you so much - that was the very feeling I was trying to achieve.
