And now Cirmir shows his quality. Alas for Théoden though, it seems his downfall is near.
“You never saw Denethor… Indis has seen” Seen what? A certain stone in the Tower of Anor?
“You speak truly. I saw how my brother was brought almost to his knees when he was younger at a chance meeting between the two in the Great Library. I had to help him to his bed. I thank you for reminding me.” Oh. Her knowing about him using the palentir is slightly less interesting than this option. And I suppose Denethor wasn’t and isn’t strong enough to take Isengard from him? Or is that really too AU.
“Mayhap,” and she smiled slyly, “mayhap we should have Théoden King meet with him as Gondor’s emissary?”
Ciramir laughed aloud. “Would serve the old fool right!”
“Ciramir. I cannot allow you to speak thus of Gondor’s ally. However, I insist you continue to upbraid me when I am foolish. I will bite my tongue and remember your value.” Hmmmm…I don’t know if that would be worse or better than the confrontation in 3019.
“Then send another two companies along the Harad Road to Emyn Arnen. The boy has been there once before, when Morwen was interred. Mayhap, if he came out of the River near there, he would recognize the land and head for Emyn Arnen.” Huh? Morwen Théodred’s grandmother? This gives me ideas for Faramir and Éowyn performing some sort of recognition there…
Targon does exude hope. Sometimes even more than Estel himself here.

Ah--the reason for the questions! Lovely! And this one was well named.

No, Indis, stay away from Saruman! Somehow, though, I think she'll end up meeting him; if not in this story, then another.

Looking forward to more.

Author Reply: It gave me chills when the missive came from Theoden! As Ciramir said - 'The old fool!' This obviously gets him into trouble later when he takes on little Wonmtongue as his counselor.

Yes - I too think Indis will eventually come in contact with the Wizard of Orthanc! *shivers*

Thanks so much for your comments!
