| Great chapter, Thundera! I know you are away, but I am going to leave a review anyway-a nice treat for when you return. That was a very funny chapter. Elfwine is absolutely adorable. He acts much older, though, than his nine years of age. Perhaps his parentage is a factor? It will be interesting to read about his persuasion of the healers. Poor thing, it will be a bit of a shock once he realizes what had happened to his father. Have I said how happy I am that Imrahil found Merry? Once Merry recovers he should be very grateful to the Prince of Dol Amroth. I thought the pounding he heard on the wall was his headache-but apparently it was Legolas! And there's another problem. Those two wandering the passageways seperately is not a good idea, as Gimli belatedly realized. I wonder who will win the contest? I am guessing that neither shall, and Aragorn will discover where his son had been all day after all. I hope you enjoy(ed) your well deserved vacation! Keep writing and I can't wait for an update! Author Reply: Many thanks for the treat to return to. Loved it! Ah, Elfwine. Yes, I realized about halfway through writing the chapter that I'd made him sound much older than nine, but he is the crown-prince and it's my belief that the Rohirrim learn to grow up quickly. On the subject of Legolas and Gimli, your prediction of the outcome of their contest is dead on. Aragorn's involvement, though...well, let's just say that he's going to have other things to worry about. Things that aren't even related to Eomer and Arwen. | |

| I have a document containing the most amusing quotes that I have ever read in fanfiction saved to both my school and home computers. This story has by far the most entries on the list. I love you, Thundera-sama. The brilliance of your brain is quite blinding. One thing in particular that I admire? Many fics portray Gimli as becoming more elvish. You portray Legolas as becoming more dwarvish. I dearly love this. Author Reply: *beams* Really? That makes me warm and tingly all over. I got into your quote list. Yea! I actually keep a quote list of my own for amusing quotes from movies, tv, novels, and fanfiction, so to end up on someone else's is quite an honor. Thank you! As for Legolas becoming dwarvish, it struck me as a natural step. Gimli had to adapt in order to become friends with Legolas, and it stands to reason that the reverse was also true. | |

| Heehee! I love this story, because it makes me laugh in a subtle way - not like a great honking over-blown parody, if you see what I mean? So between Merry's drunken meanderings and the fight between Gimli and Legolas, I've been quietly chuckling away. Hooray for new chapters! I can feasibly see both Legolas becoming utterly lost, and him reaching the nursery before Gimli. And standing there like a bemused cat that just got into the cream. Hehehe. I want to see what Aragorm will make of Elfwine. And what Elfwine will make of his father. Heehee! (Have a nice holiday!) Author Reply: Thank you so much for your compliments about the type of humor. There are plenty of parodies out there and some of them are outlandishly funny (Bryn, CNell, Cassie, and Kielle come to mind as excellent parody writers) but to my mind, the genre is slightly overdone. And some of the parodies are just inane. So I wanted to try a more realistic kind of humor. It's exagerated a bit, I'll give you that, but I really wanted something that could almost fit into canon if one gave it a good push. As for Legolas and Gimli, the outcome of their little race might surprise you. I know it surprised me when I was still working out the story's outline. And Elfwine still has a ways to go before he ever reaches the Houses of Healing. | |

| Oh, Thundera, this is just hilarious! How do you keep all the threads straight? I'm having a hard time -- oh, wait, maybe it's the fumes from the Elven wine? LOL! And Eowyn with the Rider holding the gelding tool... still grinning from that! Hope all is well with you, and thanks for such a funny story! - Barbara Author Reply: The threads are kept straight through means of a very large, very strict outline. Otherwise this story would go completely nuts. Well, not that it isn't already, but you get my meaning... Anyway, keep away from that elven wine. You'll want to be awake for what's coming next. Thanks for the review! | |

| When are you going to update its been months and i really want to read more of this story Author Reply: My apologies. I'm currently working on several projects, some of which aren't connected to fanfiction at all and some of which are, and it's taking me some time to get back around to certain fics. I haven't abandoned it, I can promise you that. It's just taking a while, so please be patient with me! And once again, I am sorry! I really do feel bad about making people wait. | |

| Again, I loved every bit of that story. Aragorn's continuing dark mood (someone has to give him a thorough shake or whatever is necessary that his sense of humour finds its way back), Éowyn's annoyance at Aragorn for drugging her brother, Arwen's amusement, the Rohirric sense of humour, Imrahil being stuck with a drunken Hobbit (yes, I see what you meant with 'unusual partnerships'), the brothers El going to find our what happened to their horses ... much potential for further mischief. Though if poor Aragorn will find out that his son has escaped his assigned guardians he will explode (especially if he finds out who his new guardians are ...) You see, I still enjoy the story and I have no worries that I will continue to do so. fliewatuet Author Reply: Ah, the potential for trouble looms large, but I think people may be surprised by what starts happening next. You see, not even the obviously planned can be expected to turn out aright. At least, that's my thinking for this fic. Ah well. But I am in total agreement that Aragorn needs a good shake. And he'll get it eventually, but for the moment, he's stuck dealing with a rather infatuated Rohirric king. As for unusual partnerships...well, they're going to abound in this fic. War makes for strange bedfellows, after all, and we'll see that more and more as the fic goes on. | |

| Sorry it's me again-just a mistake I wanted to point out. In the sixth paragraph of the third little "section" of this chapter there's a missing word. The original is: "There were only a few places in which one could obtain in the Citadel, and the Tower’s butteries seemed the most logical of these as they were the only area in which servants and guards were still working today." But it is never said exactly what one could obtain. I think the missing word is "food" but I could be wrong. Just letting you know. Please update and keep writing! Author Reply: Yup, you caught me. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll change it when the next chapter comes out. | |

| Ai me, *wipes tears from eyes* that was funny. That was very funny. I especially liked the beginning with the paragraph about Hobbit speed. Hee hee. Imrahil is a very funny character. In denial about his aging! Hee! Cheers for Pippin, this might actually work out in the end. Poor Merry, thank god Imrahil found him. That's a funny thought, though, Merry and Prince Imrahil totally drunk lying in a pool of Elven wine. I still can't believe this fic was updated...amazing. I wonder if any of your other masterpieces might meet with the same fate? Keep writing, and remember to update what you write. Your poor readers can't handle (how many fics is it, three of four?) cliffhangers at the same time. Have pity on us. At least send us some wine...Elven wine.Hee! Cheers. Author Reply: Well, don't get your hopes up about Pippin. We'll see that in the end, very little actually works out. And yes, my other stories will be updated eventually. Not in the immediate future, unfortunately, but eventually they will get new chapters. But you're more than welcome to whatever elven wine is available in the storerooms beneath the palace. No one's down there right now, though that will change after a bit. | |

| Yay! You updated! I was so anxious to know what happend to the hobbits. And now I do. Please update soon again. Author Reply: A hobbit lover, huh? Well, you'll be pleased to know that the hobbits aren't quite finished yet. They've still got to find food, after all, although Merry is rather bloated from all that wine. Still, it's probably not the same as solid food. | |
