| Whew! They both survived for now. Nienna is an intriguing character. Author Reply: Thank you! I'm glad that you don't find her Mary Sue-like :) | |

| The braillist in me is intrigued! Lovely to think that Monsieur Louis was anticipated so long ago! But I, too, have imagined how reading might still be offered to those who are blind in that world. I am indeed intrigued. So, is Nienna finding herself attracted by the younger son of the Steward, I wonder? The harp sounds beautiful! Author Reply: *grin* I think Faramir's intrigued too. I'd always imagined him with a great sense of wonder, curiosity and love for learning - the kind whose thirst for knowledge grows stronger rather than being satisfied by acquiring it. That's probably why he finds someone like Nienna intellectually interesting, and he sees in her the same qualities that he possesses. Her disability - and ability to rise above it- is also attractive to him. He's a fighter and so is she. | |

| Faramir is very good at feeling guilty - and taking responsibility for things that are no fault of his. He's in a state that must make the beautiful blind healer seem doubly attractive, too. (Not that she is not a worthy object of his admiration. And one related to his Captain, too.) | |

| I liked the description of the house--the smells, the sights. Also, l like the way we get some of Faramir's family feelings here. I'm a sucker for family dynamics. | |

| Good to see that Faramir and Mablung are alive and relatively well, though I'd like to find out more of how they were actually saved. Did the Captain, who I thought was stuck fending off several orcs, find them, or did someone else? Love the Middle-earth invention of Braille, it does seem very reasonable that a man of an old Gondorian family would create it, the Numenorean culture that is still very strong in Gondor places a high value on lore and learning... Nienna is certainly interesting. Faramir's too young for her though, in terms of potential romance, she seems, emotionally, much more mature. | |
