I always liked Prince Imrahil. Very good instincts!

:)

Author Reply: Indeed, yes! He does know what rhymes, anyway, LOL!

Oh, but this is such terribly awful rhyme! Poor Ivriniel! And Imrahil ran away with it and hid it in the archives? Hehehehehehehehehe! Oh, but this is SO excellent. Poor Aragorn! No wonder he's red in the face! And this is as bad as the Dwarven phrase I had him spouting after all of Bodkin's jokes at the expense of the brother's El! So good to see Frodo pulling such a prank on poor Aragorn! And Aragorn's being such a good sport about it!

Wonderful!

Author Reply: You have no idea how terrible! It's *hard* to write something *deliberately* bad, LOL!

Yes, poor Ivriniel! Just at that age to be smitten with the romantic and mysterious Captain, and Imrahil at just that age to be a most annoying younger brother!

I'm sure when Aragorn thinks it over, he'll be retroactively grateful to Imrahil for making off with that poem. Can you imagine if he'd had to fend off Ivriniel's possible attentions, without offending her or her father? *snerk*

I think that Aragorn counts any chance to bring a smile to Frodo's face as worth the price--especially if it's only a little embarrassment.

I'm glad you liked it!

Oh!! I re read this just the other night and was wondering if we'd ever see Aragorn hearing Menelcar's version of that poen. This was perfect!!

However, the sister of Imrahil I thought would have written that was a certain then future Lady of the Steward. This still was excellent though and what a wonderful baby brother, although he didn't know it at the time, Imrahil was for hiding where he knew no one would look for it. Leave it to Pippin to find. :snicker:

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!! :oD

Author Reply: Well, I had not planned to do it so soon, but thanks to Shirebound's request, I did it much earlier than anticipated.

By the timeline I was considering, Finduilas would have only been about four or five years old--a teensy bit too young to be writing purple poetry!

I love a happy Frodo and Frodo did enjoy this little bit of teasing. Also good to see more of Menelcar again. Lovely! Frodo should have more moments like this.

Author Reply: He should, shouldn't he? I like seeing Frodo happy, too, especially post-Quest. And according to JRRT he really did not begin to go downhill until his first Weathertop anniversary. So in Minas Tirith, I think he was *mostly* pretty happy--though of course, he also had his bad days...

And I love to have a chance to show Menelcar!
