| Exhausted as he was, it's no wonder it was hard to escape the Rings allurements. Well done. Author Reply: Thanks, Est! Honestly, I don't think most other Men would have been able to hold off as long as he did. | |

| Hi, Ainu Laire, I just read all of your ficlets and thought them excellent. I enjoyed them very much. My only comment is the fanon vs canon bit about Halbarad and cousins. By the very nature of relationships, he HAS to be a cousin, since he's not an uncle (or aunt!), nor parent, sibling or offspring of Aragorn. All that's left is cousins, of various degrees. You have him as a first cousin, which is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility, but he could be a 2nd/3rd/etc cousin - which still counts as both kinsman and cousin. Ask a hobbit That said, your stories are very good & I wouldn't worry about conflating cousins with kinsmen. Thanks for writing & keep it up. Author Reply: Ah, thank you, Rick! Who is to say Halbarad is not an uncle? Gilraen could have had brothers :) I don't believe canon ever stated she was an only child. He could even be a great-uncle through being a brother of Ivorwen or Dirhael! XD Though, I do agree, the most likely explanation is cousin, but since there is nothing written in stone except for kinsman, I figure it's best to play it safe. Thank you, though, for your input! It is interesting to think about (and I think of my own cousins' kids as 'cousins' too, not 'cousins once removed', hehe). | |

| Aw, how much do I love seeing Glorfindel taking care of a weary and worried Aragorn! Excellent and very plausible gapfiller... I hope you keep at the prompts. :) Author Reply: I'll certainly work on some from time to time, in between my other writing projects. Thanks for the review ^^ | |

| "Not yet deep!" the elf reassured the man. "Not yet deep, for you still realize its deadly power." That's the perfect response, and a very nice scene. It's great to see a ficlet from you! Author Reply: Thanks, shirebound! I'm glad to finally have the muses working again! They've been incredibly active these past six or so months, so I thought I should produce something while I'm working on my novel-length story on the side. | |

| Oh, yes--exhaustion and stress It could and would work with, not to mention long-held frustration. Excellent! Author Reply: Yea, It was a most cruel and unusally manipulative piece of jewellery. I imagine it affected all of the Fellowship somehow before it was taken away. | |

| Lovely little ficlet! :) I like how you describe the influence of the Ring. Author Reply: Nasty thing, that Ring thing, ain't it? TY! | |
