I have to say, I like Telvo. I don't exactly know why, because he's hardly the most pleasant person in the world, all self-satisfied and secretive, but he has a distinct charm about his person.
Goody! I meant for him to be liked, although he is a bit of a strange fellow. But he has his reasons and motivations for all that he does.... *says no more*
And Macalaure displays some wonderful dry humor. . . women screaming "Pityo!" in bed, indeed. . . Marriage seems to have propped up his self-esteem in good ways.
Lol! Yes, I seem to have two Macalaure muses kicking around in my head: the angsty one and the snarky one. A non-LJ Tolkien friend who has read a lot of my stories made the excellent suggestion that my Elves should be a little tougher and less weepy, and I think this is a good direction to work, so you might see a bit more yet of snarky!Macalaure.
I figure him to be a subtle and clever guy, growing up in the House of Feanor, not being the strongest in terms of physical power or charisma. I think he'd become almost passive-aggressive in his dealings with his family. Macalaure in this story is a little darker than I usually like to write him, but it seemed to work here (and I think it fits his current circumstances, putting his life on hold for his father's exile and all).
