Fëanor seems to be extending himself mightily to bring everyone together, but he was never very good at being inclusive.
No, he's certainly not! If anything, he makes too much effort, and that is itself off-putting, like forcing everyone together for "just a minute" for breakfast. Also, he fails to recognize the animosity between certainly of his sons, like between the twins, and how favored treatment of one drives him away from the other, then his other sons in turn. And how that leads for even his somewhat neutral treatment of one to be perceived as favoritism. I wonder where he learned to favor one child over the other from. Hmmmm....
For all of his gifts as an orator, Feanor is certainly not a people-person!
I'm a little curious as to why Erestor is studying with Fëanor instead of Maitimo. Fëanor's big skill is in craftsmanship, but Erestor is studying philosophy, which is more Maitimo's thing.

All in good time, my dear. All in good time. ;)
