Don't worry, the twins--especially Telvo--are pretty major characters in this story. Telvo has his own subplot that, in turn, involves Pityo.
One tiny thing: I personally think using "Valaquenta" in that form is rather jarring.
Hmmm. Technically, Valaquenta is supposed to be regarded as written by Rumil and given to the world by JRR. That is what I intended in this. Later, you might be pleased to note, that I totally made up the name of the book that Erestor is reading. *hates making up Quenya words and names* :^P
But that's really small - kind of like how I can find the one tiny dog hair in my food, but still shove the bite into my mouth and eat it anyway.
Bwah! I remember that! Only it was usually cat hair.
Sometimes, it was my hair, which was three feet of icky!scary.... o.O
I like the interaction between Feany & Telvo.
It's all part of the strangeness that is going on in the family. Erestor eventually develops his own theories about them (which is rather in line with what pervy Alina kept thinking while reading this) but it's more complex than that. Of course. ;)
And I am in awe of how you can write something as plain and boring as studying or recitation or breakfast, build definitive characters around it, and make it interesting.
*blushes* Thank you! :) For me, this is where most characterization takes place because people don't tend to act completely like themselves in dramatic situations. I mean, look at Maeglin: You have a guy who was a hero in battle on one hand and betrayed his realm on the other. Then it falls back on how he behaved in daily life to decide what kind of person he really is, which I suspect probably falls somewhere between the two.
Anyway, daily dramas--meals gone wrong, psychologically battling during an argument--are fun to write! For me anyway. ;)
At least you didn't write the whole thing in 3 hours this time. ;P
Hee! No, it took about three months of sporadically working on it to finish it. It was "mentally" written months before that, though lots of unexpected subplots showed their little faces and kept things interesting!

Reeeeally? >;^))
