Sorry I'm so behind in reading and reviewing. I've just moved, ( have changed country, continent and hemisphere in one shot!) so some things have been postponed and time is now going to be scarcer for pleasant things..

I so loved the contrast between the grimnes of last chapter, battle and harshness with the gentleness inn htis one, the suport, and solidarity, despite the danger. OSta is a great character for his role, and he must have been reat comfort in this situation.

"So, after an Age being shielded by the Guardians, it comes our turn to succor you," Feldibar said when they were seated by the fire..." I so much loved this. It is so hobbitutsh, so typical of their solidarity and the kindness of this race, glad to be able to be of help after such a long time! IT perfectly captured the spirit of the race, I think!
Thanks for the kind respite. I suppose we shall be back to the carnage soon..Sigh!



Author Reply: Wow, perelleth, that's quite a move! Thank you for taking time to read and review in the midst of all that. New neighborhood indeed - country, continent, and hemisphere - so where have you landed? I hope you'll be very happy there, and soon come to feel at home.

Ah, I like the way things are moving on, and how nice for the hobbits to not only be able to return care for care but to be so prepared to do so.
Malawen is redoubtable these days isn't she - no more fears just certainty.
Lovely chapter - keep it up.

Author Reply: Thanks, Rose. And Malawen's had a lot of experience by now, hasn't she? A few thousand grandchildren... yeesh!

I like the humorous courtesy of Feldibar Took - like a small shine of Pippin's happy mischief! And am I wrong or is there a chapter missing?

Author Reply: I hadn't thought of that - it is, isn't it? And you've seen 2 more chapters than are posted here yet, my darling beta!
