In the chap3 of No Other Choice, it begins with Thranduil and Ferdan arguing. Is there a specific reason why they are arguing, and so constantly as a matter of fact? Thank youu :))

There is a specific reason they were fighting ALL OF THE TIME! They were fighting about at what age they should let the Legolas, Farlen, Avaleina, and to a certain extent Eloissa and Tern join Greenwoods Military. They had so many arguments since the elfling's coming of Age Ceremonies were all fast approaching and everybody knew the second they were considered an 'adult' by elvish standards that they'd all want to join the fight for their people and their home.

Thranduil would let them join younger than Ferdan wanted because Thranduil thinks that if they DONT let them join (close) to when they want to, they will channel their energy, skills, and determination to do something to help into less constructive channels. He thinks that if they let them join the military, they'll be able to keep them in the lower ranks and close to home until they're older.

Ferdan's almost positive that if they let the elflings join when they want to, it wont matter WHAT Thranduil and Ferdan want, they wont give them a choice to do anything but move them higher up in the ranks. Maybe at first they could stop it, but not for long. They're too good. They could have already graduated from their training years ago but weren't simply due to their ages. He wants them to join later, when they're older, so that they can be 'kids' longer. He thinks the second they join the miliary they'll be gone. That they'll do everything and anything possible so be anything and everything that the world needs them to be, with little (if any) thought about what they need from themselves.

In hindsight, Ferdan was right.

I was driving home listening to Todrick Hall and it occurred to me just how much Farlen would L O V E drag and being a drag queen.

Like step aside Rupaul, there's a new queen in town.
