I like to think that Halbarad had children.A delightful end to the story.

Author Reply: Yes, yes, he has indeed. A daughter, Andreth and a son, Galadhor, who features in a still unfinished story that takes place years before this one.
I'm glad you liked my story and thanks for reviewing.

Poor Arwen!Still,it will be worth it when the baby is born.I agree Aragorn would miss the North.

Author Reply: It will be worth it, indeed. I decided to pu the morning sickness in to accentuate the fact that they are mortal - as she comes to realise, too.

And how could Aragorn not miss the North? Someone said it to the point (I have forgotten the name).

Halbarad: "Can you cope without us?"
Aragorn: "I'm your chieftain," he replyed, "how could I possibly?"

That's something I'll always remember.

Thanks for the review.

Dear Vilwarin I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the whole story, I just wondered if the lady who served them will ever find out who they really were. Hugs Imp

Author Reply: Why thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the story. It's all about joy here, is it not? Thanks for the hug. I feel a lot warmer. ;)

Ah, maybe she has already found out an just chose not to tell them? Arwen can only speculate. What she really knew would have to be addressed in a story from her POV.

Hehehehehehe! Miriel is such a deqr one! Love it! And Halbarad's daughter? Of course!

Author Reply: Thank you. Ah yes, Míriel, loveable Míriel.

Of course that I had to somehow bring Halbarad in the story. ;) Amrothos wouldn't choose anyone, would he?

Wonderful that you loved it.

I rather suspect Miriel has a good idea as to who her guests were last night! Heh!

Author Reply: It seems so. But she's sensible enough to leave them to their fun. ;)

Well....I read the rest in your livejournal. If I had a cigarette I would be smoking it right now..and I don't smoke! Very nice! A fun (I'm lost for words right now) side of Aragorn and Arwen that I seldom see in fandom.

What silly elf told Arwen that a wife should be submissive? !

PS - oops. I've mistake "Beleg" for the character "Brithnir", another character that was also employed by Denethor..sorry.

Author Reply: *blushes furiously*

Great that you liked that little scene. I wanted to create something special.

We don't really know who had that little chat with Arwen.

I don't mind the character confusion. Yes, I know Brithnir and wouldn't dare to do something like this to Gwynnyd's character, which would indeed be OOC for him. His only problem is that he has to work under Hithdol (see Gwynnyd's masterpiece "Circumstantial Heroes".)

A most enjoyable romanic interlude for the King and Queen. I liked the idea of their disguise.

Author Reply: Oh, thank you. Aragorn needs to go out a bit, and what's better than taking his beloved with him?

LarnerReviewed Chapter: 3 on 2/29/2008
May they know joy tonight.

Author Reply: Oh yes, they will. ;)

LarnerReviewed Chapter: 2 on 2/29/2008
Aha! Halbarad and Gilraen--a wonderful pair they make!

Author Reply: Haha, don't they. something different from the court life.

LarnerReviewed Chapter: 1 on 2/29/2008
Ah, yes--the Lord of the White Tree in his glory!

Author Reply: Yes, indeed. I would certainly not turn him down. I think that this title holds something so symbolic. Thanks for reviewing.
