Aha! They've been presented puppies and kittens in some tales, but this is the first monkey I've seen. Nice addition indeed to the menagerie!

I do like the association of hobbits and girl in all the Haradric silks - I can just see them studying each other as exotic beyond belief. While I admit to feeling slightly sorry for the monkey left behind in the White City. Unless there are other monkeys there, of course - in which case it'll probably be fine!

I am delighted to see you are still 'with us' after the long journey that was "Masquerade". Your Pippin here is very much in character as he was in the other tale. He is very much up for making a new friend, both the girl and her pet. I, too, liked the description of the girl. But I hope Aragorn does not just put his little gift in a zoo cage. The little guy seems to want a friend. I enjoyed Sam's reaction. He did have a feel for living things, but this living thing was probably a bit too strange for Sam's comfort! An enjoyable little story. I think I had better go check out LiveJournal. A lot of people seem to have a lot of fun there.

I imagine that Aragorn's menagerie-and I'm certain he got one-would have been tended by either an animal lover or an Elf. I'll bet Legolas took one look at that monkey and comandeered it.

Yes, LJ is a very fun environment. People throw all sorts of ideas at you there.

I forgot to review this over at LJ, El, but I will now.

The description of the princess' dress is lovely, and I quite like her as a character: a cheerful, bright child.

It's such a fun read!

Author Reply: Thank you! I'm glad you liked the princess; I was a little unsure about how she'd turn out. I totally stole her dress from "Kingdom of Heaven". :)
