| I liked this, especially Elladan and Elrohir worrying about Estel, and Aragorn trying to fit in with the Rangers. It makes sense that over time he becomes a little less elvish but I hadn't thought before about how odd he would appear to the Men. Lots to think about! (and Halbarad was cool too). | |

| This was a nice pair of scenes. I liked your idea about the "company" of the sons of Elrond. Their speculations about Mirkwood were kind of fun too. And I was particularly intrigued by the quick reference to the fall of Dol Guldur and Elrond's wielding a sword there. I have been wondering about that time for my own stories. The Estel part was also great. You are giving Halbarad an attractive character. But Poor Aragorn. If he has to change even his walk, he has a long struggle coming. | |

| Hehe, I loved your explanation for the bells attached to Asfaloth's reins, and the concept of Elrond's twins little company. And I am absolutely delighted that you decided to pick up that side plot from 'marinus stiria' to turn it into a story of its own. And yes, I know what kind of tents you speak of, though the girl scout camp experience happily took another way that did not lead in my direction ... | |

| An interesting start. There are so many stories about Aragorn's childhood in Rivendell, but this is certainly the first one I've read that shows his coming to the rangers. You have got very interesting ideas about the differnces. I look forward to reading more | |

| Although the chapter was so much more serious than the first, couldnt help but giggle at the thought of the Dear Ranger first dancing, and then prancing. Such a choice selection of words by Halbarad. Very nice. I loved the way they met. Glorfindel's entry was a pleasant surprise, as was the little fact that the twins had seen Elrond raise a blade only once. Lovely touch. The angst demon approves. Do update! | |

| Bryn, I read the first chapter when you first put it up and loved it, but didn't get around to reviewing until this one. You have captured the feelings of the twins well. I can see how difficult it must have been for them to leave Estel alone with this rough and tumble group of rangers. And Aragorn caught dancing! Too funny. You handled his first meeting with Halbarad very well. It would only seem logical that Aragorn would be more Elvish than human in mannerisms. I also liked the way you explained Glorfindel's bells on his his reins. It does seem a bit like announcing your arrival and his retort was priceless. Keep going....I'm ready for the next chapter. Very well done, Bryn. Karen | |

| Being the squealing Aragorn fangirl that I am, I'm always looking forward to reading more of those 'missing scene' fics about him! And given the author, I hope for some very entertaining reading:-) BTW your description of the rangers' tents alone woke some long buried memories of the smell of damp canvas, wet clothes, mud and the like (aka fliewatuet's very first near-camping experience, fortunately not too far away from home, so that I could opt out and spend the night in my own bed ... have not been so fortunate on every camping trip, however, ...) | |

| *Claps* Hooray, a new story! I like Elladan and Elrohir finishing each others sentances. Very humerous. This looks to be a very promising fic. I like the idea of Aragorn going back to the Dunadain to "Become a man," (OR, whatever the guy said.) It will be interesting to see what transpires. (And to meet Halbaraad!! Mayhap we will find what is with his obsession with wearing a dress..?) Cheers! | |

| Great beginning. I for one am glad this plot bunny bit you because this is a time I've wondered about. You've done a great job with little details here. They make everything seem real. Go bryn! | |
