| I thoroughly enjoyed this story! I found myself nodding my head or smiling to see the beginnings of the tracker/healer in Estel. The strong bond between Elrohir and Estel was a great touch. Author Reply: I like to think that Aragorn grew into the man he became, and that he could have made other choices, not that he was perfect all along. It makes him so much more interesting. Thank you!

| Ummm ... they're hunting real orcs? Is this wise? Elrohir, what are you thinking of?? Author Reply: LOL - No, Elrohir is wiser than that! And you ought to know me well enough by now, to know I won't do the exptected. Gwynnyd | |

| I like this already! Estel is a very real 11 year old, and Elrohir is just marvellous with him. Why do I get the feeling that something will happen on this adventure? Jay | |

| Hey! So nice to see this around. In case I failed to mention it before, I love this sentence: Estel quivered like a leashed hound on a scent. So exactly him! | |

| I enjoyed this! Elrohir is the quintessential big brother here, helping him to understand and come to the conclustion he needed to by not treating him like a child. This is a memory Estel will treasure, and perhaps a scenario he will recreate with his own son one day. Author Reply: He will probably treasure it in retrospect, when he's grown enough to appreciate it. It will probably make him writhe in embarrasment for the next fifteen years. Eldarion, hmmm.... Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for keeping such a nice place to share it. Gwynnyd | |

| When I finished this story, I startled my cats by exclaiming "that was adorable!" Elrohir will make an excellent father. And what strength already Aragorn is showing! Very well written and engaging. I especially liked how near the end Aragorn does not immediately see the need for lessons, despite what he had just been through. You write 11-year-old boys very convincingly. :-) Author Reply: In my experience as a mother, all eleven year olds need thwacking with clue-by-fours on a regular basis, just to keep them focused. I don't think this experince turned Estel into an angelic child, who never gave his tutors any problems ever again. But at least it gave them something they could point at the next time they caught him skipping or daydreaming. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope your cats forgive me. Gwynnyd | |
