Ah, how I'd love to be a fly on the wall for *that* particular conversation!

(But really, you ended the story on just the right note)

It has been nice to have a little time for reading today. We have had four inches of snow and the entire city has shut down. (And shut down tomorrow, too, at least for the morning, if the evening news is any indication.)

Author Reply: Hehehe, I bet it's a good one!

Thank you so much, m'dear. I hope you are ok and just get to enjoy the snow vacation :-)

I've read all three chapters and enjoyed them all so much. Your Parsow is a wonderful character, so compassionate and caring. And Pippin's pain and anguish are so realistically portrayed, as is Aragorn's concern for him. I look forward to reading more.

Author Reply: Thank you, mews, especially in regards to Parsow as I'm always unsure of my OCs. I'm so glad you enjoyed him and the story.

To your last comment, I'm sorry to say this is all there is to this story and Parsow. Unless my muse has other plans.

Pearl, this came out very well indeed!

I am so impressed with your OC, Parsow--he's observant and compassionate and curious--he will make a fine master healer one day. I do hope we haven't seen the last of him!

Pippin's exhaustion and reactions were shown very well--poor dear, what a horrid ordeal he'd had!

Author Reply: Thank you so much, Dreamflower! I don't know if Parsow will be back or not. Most of my OCs make brief appearances, but then again, some have managed to hang around :-)

Thank you for your kind words!

I enjoyed all three chapters! I also liked seeing the Hobbits through someone else's eyes. This was a great gap filler! It was very touching to see the interaction between Aragorn and Pippin.



Author Reply: Thank you for your kind words, Idril :-) It really means a lot to me when an OC is well received by readers. I'm glad you enjoyed Parsow's POV along with my Aragorn and Pippin.

Oh, Pippin!!! What a horrible thing to go through. He's been so badly traumatized and I'm so glad Aragorn was able to recognize that quickly and assess the situation. I love how well Aragorn knows his hobbits, and prepares for what will happen if Merry wakes first. Again, I must emphasize how much I love seeing the hobbits through the eyes of others! Nice work, Pearl :D

Author Reply: Thank you so much again, ST! The more I have read through the chapters about Pippin's time in Minas Tirith, the more I realize how difficult a time it was for him. The trip down the mountain to find Gandalf the night of the siege had to be very trumatic and would had to have had some lasting affects. Plus, the gloom, the evil vibes if you will, from Mordor had not totally left the area. It was still there when they marched to the Black Gate.

Thank you for your compliments on letting Parsow tell this part of the tale.

I love love love 'seeing' the hobbits through the eyes of others, especially if those others are compassionate and respectful. Parsow was so courageous and wise to call for Aragorn, and the scene between Aragorn and Pippin is lovely and gentle. This difficult subject was handled beautifully, Pearl.

Author Reply: Thank you, my dear mentor! As always, I'm so chuffed when you enjoy my stories :-) I'm glad you liked Parsow.
