Raven and Gold by Acacea

Oh, lovely! Each word so carefully chosen and measured, and contributing to the whole. I loved how you never gave us the characters' names, but wrote this so well that we knew. It could be no others. This was beautifully written.

Hi! Thanks for your lovely review:) I'm really glad to hear the characters came out without being named. Thanks again for reading and taking the time out to review. Cheers, Acacea

Hi again, Acacea! I apologize for using the review section to answer your question, but it was the best way I could think of to contact you. Yes, I did finish and post my first drabble. It's called The Stone Tree. You're right, drabbbles are very fun to write --- challenging, but fun. I hope you write more drabbles in the future, I would love to read them! LKK

A beautiful drabble, Acacea, very lovely. And inspiring --- the beauty of your drabble inspired me to attempt my first drabble. It's harder than it seems! Now, I have an even greater appreciation for what you've accomplished in this wonderful piece. LKK

Hi LLK, Thanks a lot for the feedback. I'm delighted that you liked it so much, and that you found it inspiring:) Have you posted your drabble yet? It's a little hard at first, but it's also a lot of fun!

He spoke with happiness, or so she liked to think later. I think I asked you once before about this line, Acacea. I demand an answer, for it is so poignant. It makes this drabble. Why is Eowyn uncertain about whether or not Faramir spoke of happiness? I love this. You know that.

Thank you for loving it:) Yes you did ask me about that line when I first posted the drabble. It's one of the firts lines I wrote and it pretty much wrote itself in, so it was only when you asked that I really thought about why it came out like that. Eowyn's not uncertain. She doesn't relaise it during the conversation per se, because they're busy talking, but she does realise later when she thinks back to this moment, that Faramir is happy now. And he's happy because he's with her, and is planning a future that involves them being together. She likes to think she's the cause of his happiness and contentment. This was supposed to be a longer story. I got lazy.:)

Thanks Shirebound:) I'm glad to hear the sense of calmness came through. It seemed a fitting way to depict Faramir and Eowyn's relationship
