I'm enjoying this very much, and would like to read the rest - but the link in your bio that's supposed to lead to your livejournal doesn't work. If you have a link that works, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

Author Reply: Ups *blushes* Thanks for pointing it out. I checked the link again. It works now. Glad you're enjoying it.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this! Imagine...the royal couple going incognito to dwell amongst the everyday folk..trying to blend in! I would love to see Aragorn in a guardsman uniform (and yes..men in uniform are really eye-catching!)

I recognize Hithdol and Beleg; I love the way you incorporate these characters in this story.

This is a delightful story and I am having fun reading it! I'm dying to find out what the "neglected part" of their relationship is..and what I'd give to hear Aragorn's "city accent"!

Author Reply: Thank you. I'm glad ou are enjoying this. Yes, the idea is something different. I've been playing with it for about two years now, but never came to actually write it. It's always fun to dress up and do something different. And Aragorn has, um, a lot of experience in blending in and imitating accents. You've missed something if you've never been on a Renaissance fair with the right clothing. This is how I imagined it to be.

Ah yes, Hithdol. I like him a lot and am grateful that I may play with him. He's just the person you are glad to hae in your service. Loyal and no questions. ;) You might see him again later. You recognise Beleg? Really? *scratches head* He's only been born a few days ago. Any similarity to existing characters is purely incidental. Thank you again for leaving such a wonderful review.

Oh, this is wonderful!! I've read Aragorn sneak out and away for a break stories before, but never an Aragorn and Arwen one. Loved Aragorn's, I mean, Halbarad's ;o) reaction to the news a baby is on the way. Lovely and so very perfect too.

Looking forward to reading the rest of this. You're doing a fantastic job w/it.

Author Reply: No other 'Aragorn Arwen sneaking out of the citadel story'? wow, wasn't aware of that. *lol*
I imagine Aragorn to be ridiculously happy to finally be a father. He's waited for it long enough, after all. ;)
Thank you for the ne review.

Another fabulous chapter, Vilwarin! I really loved the dancing. Miriel is quite a character too. Great job!

Author Reply: Now isn't she? I think that she is the type of person that makes your life just a little better. Have you ever participated in such a dance? You really must!
