| "You never came home," said Celebrķan "No," said Frodo. "You are a hobbit, Frodo," she said. "But you are also something more. And perhaps you need a house in which the Frodo you have become can feel at home. Fascinating insight, GH. I look forward to the home Frodo ends up with, one that reflects his true Self. Author Reply: Thank you, Shirebound. It will be a home long in the making... | |

| This chapter is so full of melancholy and sadness it makes me ache. You catch that feeling of not knowing where one fits or who one is, feeling disoriented in a strange land when anywhere one is is strange. Author Reply: Thank you for that lovely review (even if melancholy in theme!) | |

| This is lovely Gentle Hobbit. The anguish, frustation and sadness comes through so well. I love your Celebrian. Author Reply: Thank you, Harrowcat, very much | |

| Oh, poor Frodo! This makes my heart ache for him. What a terrible feeling that must be. The discussion of "Mr. Frodo" made me cry. God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Not a very comfortable time right now for Frodo. Thank you for your review. :) | |

| That he would be most gentle saying the name Sam gave him is just right, for Sam didn't see him as a Hobbit or a great lord or and adventurer or a scholar, but as the one person he loved just for himself. And when Frodo can love himself as Sam does, then he will be healing indeed. Author Reply: Yes, there is no role to play in front of Sam. Any role as Master of Bag End may have existed, but it was not a barrier between them. | |

| This is a most promising start. I'm very interested to learn how Frodo will find healing and himself. Author Reply: I'm glad you liked it. Frodo will certainly need to explore how to aid in his own healing. | |

| Very nice beginning. Celebrian is very understanding, and I look forward to reading about Frodo's recovery, his hobbit-sized house, and his explorations of the Blessed Realm. I do have a question - possibly stupid though it may be. What exactly does Iorhael mean? I've seen it in many stories - but I guess I've never learned what it means. Anyway, I look forward to reading more soon! Author Reply: Not a stupid question at all! Iorhael means "old-wise" in Sindarin, from what I understand. It is the Elvish name (translation?) for Frodo. | |

| This is a lovely beginning with these two kindred spirits talking. I think Celebrian will be very good for Frodo and he will adjust just fine to the brightness without as it spreads within. He will indeed discover his place in the universe and I hope the One Who made him. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I'm glad that you liked the story and that Celebrian is in many ways a kindred spirit. :) | |

| How wonderful to see another story from you! This is immediately intriguing. I love stories of Frodo in Valinor and seeing everyone's different interpretations of his time spent there. Yours is quite unique and I look forward to seeing where this goes. I imagine that Bilbo is doing so well because of all that time he spent living with elves in Middle-earth. He also does not have the sense of loss that Frodo does, and while he may have been getting old, he was not as physically weak as Frodo was. The brightness of the island make this all seem a dream to Frodo, and to a certain extant it probably is. Celebrian is a gentle and soothing presence for him, and just the right person to help Frodo on his journey of self-discovery and healing. Author Reply: Thank you! I think you've summed up Bilbo's abilities in adjusting to Tol Eressea. He certainly comes with 'acclimatization' already underway and largely unburdened by what Frodo experienced. | |

| How are you, my dear? I loved this and the implied hope it gave me. I look forward to many more chapters and the ultimate healing, whatever that may end up being. Author Reply: I'm all right. :) I'm so glad you love this story. I hope that it continues to live up to expectations. | |
