| This brings to light Boromir's almost exclusive army life and lack of skills as a ranger - another reason Faramir should have gone, as Boromir clearly believes here. Maddening to imagine the elves watching him for so long, yet not offering help. Makes one wonder if they could have helped at Amon Hen and chose not to. Author Reply: After 110 days, I'm sure anyone would be eager for a little conversation. After all, even Gandalf, in The Hobbit, had trouble finding the route to Rivendell. "The only path was marked with white stones some of which were small, and others were half covered with moss or heather. Altogether it was a very slow business following the track, even guided by Gandalf, who seemed to know his way about pretty well." Thank you for the review. | |

| Oh, very nice - that last line made the drabble. Author Reply: Thank you! Yes, for all that he pushed for the leave to go himself, I'm sure there were times when Boromir would have preferred to be back in Gondor. | |

| I'm sure he does not envy it, wholly relieved as to the source of those calluses - a nice moment between 2 characters we don't often see together. Author Reply: Thank you! This was one of the first drabbles I wrote and it's still one of the one's I like best. | |

| Interesting take - that Ecthelion assumed to rid himself of Thorongil until he saw the star - are you implying he knew then Thorongil's identity? Certainly possible. A nice take & I enjoyed Denethor's thoughts - his sense of betrayal was palpable. Author Reply: Thanks for the review! I saw it more as Denethor had 'overpersuaded' his father to dismiss Thorongil, and Ecthelion just overriding Denethor's wishes once he actually met him. | |

| I read all of your drabbles and they're all so wonderful! ^_^ You truly have a gift and I hope you continue to share your stories with us. P.S. I especially loved the drabbles concerning Aragorn, Arwen, and Eldarion. They're not easy characters to write, Arwen in particular. Love your insights and eloquence. ^_^ Author Reply: Thank you! That is a very nice thing for an author to hear! I will certainly continue to share anything I write. | |
