Well - I think Adamanta is already more than interested in the charming Merimac! But I hope she manages to hold herself aloof - because he does seem to be one who enjoys the chase, and he needs to chase her long enough and hard enough to focus on who and what she is. Quick surrender = quickly forgotten, I fear. And she is right - he does need someone who loves him for being Merimac rather than just the Master's son. But maybe he doesn't know that yet!

Author Reply: Adamanta is hard put to hold herself aloof but she is not foolish enough to let herself be charmed entirely knowing that Merimac would probably have quickly forgotten about her if she did.


Thanks for reading!

Well, to answer your question, I found it in your Live Journal. And since it's only two days before Elijah's birthday, I remembered it :)

I have always loved Frodo, but if this story proceeds like it began, good old Frodo should be aware that he has
a new rival ;-)

Merimac is great!

Author Reply: My LJ? Do you have an account for if you had you should friend me. I post a lot more than is public - not all is important though :)


*grins*
Yes, Merimac is definitely a rival for Frodo. I love to write him as much as I love writing Frodo - though Frodo will always be my number 1. I know him inside out (though he still manages to surprise me) while Merimac... well, as Adamanta put it: he is mysterious in a way :)

"Why do you insult me every time we meet?" Merimac asked

LOL!!! A very good question, but the answer is easy: she fell in love with him, or in German: "Was sich liebt, das neckt sich!"

Well, actually, Merimac is just the type of man (or hobbit) that I would like myself ;-)

I'm looking forward to reading about Mantha's "test"!

I wish you a very happy birthday, even if it's nearly over now :)

(Thank you for this hobbity present!)

Somehow... erm... yes :D *loves him lots*

Thank you! How did you know it was my birthday today?

Another delightful chapter! Both Merimac and Adamanta are very endearing and strong-willed. A good match :D

Author Reply: Strong-willed indeed! And too proud to admit that they are in love - which will still be a wee problem for them :)

Thanks for reading. I'm really happy you're enjoying this - even without Pippin.

It's as well she's expecting him to prove himself--is raising his interest and showing she has some depth to her.

Author Reply: Definitely! Apart from reassuring her that she will not be dropped as soon as he got whatever he wants.

Thanks for reading.
