This is an excellent story! Both Elrond and Estel are so nicely drawn, and the earlier comment is right: one can feel Gilraen's influence, throughout. I like how Estel is both childlike, and really rather mature. (Also, the question of "who would win" seems like such a perfect one for a young boy to ask.) And I love how Elrond struggles to stay intellectually honest while still pleasing his student. He comes up with some great turns of phrase. (Except it was really you who did that!)
But now I can't help wondering why a woman who dresses in black would choose to own a white cat. And imagining Beruthiel's cats spying on the Elves of Valinor.
