A wonderful answer, and such a happy, gentle conversation between father and son.

I really loved this drabble, seeing Aragorn's thoughts as he had to choose whether or not to save Faramir. I had never linked it to the struggle between not claiming the ring and taking it. But I liked that a lot. It seemed fitting, especially considering the (movie!) scene where Arwen tells Aragorn not to fear the past and that he is Isildur's heir, not Isildur himself. It is a nice reflection back to that uncertainty in Aragorn.

He had given his oath.

Standing by that oath took him very far indeed... to his very destiny.

Author Reply: It did indeed.

Forgive me for not reviewing each chapter, but I'm enjoying these small glimpses very much. It makes me smile to think that Aragorn and Pippin's 'informal meeting' might have given him a chuckle or smile when he needed one.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I fully understand you are busy and you are one of the few that reviews at all ,so please don't feel guilty. I'm just happy to know that you are enjoying these drabbles.I only wish Hobbit Muses came my way more often to write something for you.

Excellent contrast between appearances and reality, glitter and gold; continuing Tolkien's own theme of Aragorn's worth beneath mud-caked boots and travel-worn cloak...

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you enjoyed this. I think one of Tolkien's main lessons is not to judge by appearances.

Awww; poor Eowyn. You capture her resistance and fragility very well; and the last line is a killer...

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.Eowyn is a character I struggle to write so I'm pleased that you enjoyed this.

This is lovely - excellent contrast between Elf and Man, as well as the similarity of two noble souls. I love the ambiguity at the end.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you liked my rare attempt to write about Faramir and Legolas!
