| What a truly scummy thing, to beat up a little kid like that. Good job on writing Faramir here, he comes across as enough of a child to be scared and tearful, but still enough of the future Captain Faramir to remain defiantly loyal to his brother. Author Reply: I hated to have the violence - but they are all in such a hideous tight spot. The one who is orchestrating all of this is definitely evil... Bless little Faramir and Boromir... they are not finished with their suffering. | |

| Hey, that's Targon from ROTK, only much younger! Excellent usage of a character we don't see much in fanfic. They couldn't even give Boromir some food - dirty stinking treacherous rats, starving a helpless boy. Author Reply: So VERY glad you recognized him! It was such fun to write of him. Only a short moment in ROTK but he will always be remembered for taking care of Pippin. I thought he deserved another moment here... besides, Boromir is still hungry! Perhaps the lad can help him! | |

| Truly captivating. Excellent story telling. | |

| So, Gondor also is capable of breeding shieldmaidens? Yes, fitting indeed. Author Reply: I just couldn't see Gondor not having women who 'chafed' at the roles society asked of them. | |

| A gentle moment. And I can certainly appreciate Faramir's concerns. Author Reply: Not often did the boys have time, I think, to spend together, to be boys, to be brothers. I continue to hope that Denethor spent what time he could with his family - but they were all bound to Gondor and to her needs. You are right about Faramir's concerns. | |

| A frightening waiting, and then Faramir's fever breaks on its own anyway. I DON'T like the thought the crebain are keeping watch on them, as it speaks to the one most likely to be behind the assassination attempt. | |

| An excellent plan. And the need for the caves but difficulties in living with them is obvious enough. | |

| Aw. Boromir is such a good and loving brother to little Faramir! Hopefully, Faramir will soon recover from the fever. Everything's gone from bad to worse, they all deserve some good luck soon. Author Reply: You know - I've never written much of the love between the brothers in their early life. I love to read other people's interpretations though. I would truly like to spend some time with this - but Denethor has other ideas! I'm surprised he let me stop long enough on 10,000 Years to get this little tale in! | |

| I liked the friendship between Boromir and Theodred; it's good that Boromir has at a friend of his own age he can trust; especially since he's lost his beloved parents. Author Reply: I was always amazed that Tolkien had both sons born the same year and die the same year. It is more than coincidence. Someday, I'd like to write something a little longer about their friendship. Perhaps a sequel??? | |

| The trust between the two is very touching; and I hope they find the assassin soon. Author Reply: Thanks, Larner, I love the relationship between Boromir and his aunt, Indis. She came in handy after his mother died. I can't believe the boys were left with no mother-figure to help them. As for the assassin - it is sometimes very difficult to find the root of evil. | |
