A useful lesson, and I enjoyed the less than stuffy version of Erestor in this case... But, I, doomed to critique ever and anon, desire to humble point somethings out. The whole scheme was good, but Estel seemed to shift from a young child then back to ten. Would a 'mature' ten year old burst into a council just to weep about murdering a butterfly? (But I loved the weapon thing! :) ) I would see a six year old skulking guiltily until someone joins him so he can confess, but a ten year old would probably high-tail it or sit and stare until they are able to admit to the crime(and would Erestor really give into such a threat from a younger? I think he would march him to the poor lass and make him apologize and then make him do double homework on Quenya for the disrespect). Other than that, it was fun and fast paced, so not to bore, and I am ready for more.
