Good chapter, our two heroes seem to have met up with a road block. I like the "lets dress up, (or should I say down" Boramir. Looking forward to more.

Thanks. I wanted to look at the two Men from a more humourous perspective, and I am glad you are enjoying it so far.

Wow, i really like this - there isn't many stories I have read that focus on the relationship between the future king and his would-be steward. I like it!

Nor ones where they are actually having a bit of fun, even though they are on a serious quest for supplies, I would hope!

A cute beginning. I can see them getting tickled at the whole "disguise" thing. And we see them encountering a problem right off the bat. I have a feeling that the search for a way to cross is not going to be all that simple. Looking forward to more.

I like to think that when alone together, Boromir and Aragorn were not always in a serious, angsty frame of mind, so I decided they were due for a little light hearted adventure! More to come soon.

This is starting out well & not the same old thing. Judging by your other tales, I'm looking forward to this one. I'm hoping this is a very long, very Boromir-centric tale.
Author's reply
IThank you for such a lovely compoliment. I hope this tale does not disappoint, and as to length. well, that will depend on how cooperative my muses are (not very at present!).

Boromir forgettable? Never! But yay! WOOHOO! Jen's writing more Boromir tales!!! ^_^
Author's reply
Yes. but this one is taking longer than usual, for which I apologise. My muses are currently on vacation, but hopefully wil be back soon.

I enjoyed the Hobbits' imagination with the food and I am looking forward to seeing what you will do with this fic. Aragorn and Boromir visiting settlements for supplies has potential for many things. :-)
Author's reply
Yes. I agree and I hope you like this one!
Bodkin · 3 July 2005 · Chapter 1: Hungry Hobbits
And the Istari trumps the Elf. Who can patronise the Men. Who can out-reach the Dwarf. Who can out-experience the Hobbits. It's like the House that Jack Built. Still picking up some supplies seems an eminently sensible thing to do - even if Boromir does need to disguise himself as a scruffy Ranger. (I hope they don't get into lots of trouble with pain and suffering. I'm in need of light-hearted and frothy, I think. Although that might change by the time chapter 2 comes along!)

If my muses permit, I intend to keep this light hearted.
Dreamflower · 3 July 2005 · Chapter 1: Hungry Hobbits
What an intriguing beginning! I've only ever read *one* other story that dealt with the idea that there might have been settlements where the Fellowship could obtain supplies. Yet when you think about it, it seems so obvious... I love the way you show the hobbits doing their best to make light of the situation, which given hobbits and food, must have seemed dire to them.
Author's reply
Thanks, I often think that finding enough to eat in the wild, so to speak, might have been very difficult. This is a possible solution...

Yay, you’re back! I missed you! I love your hobbits. There’s something really touching about the way they pretend that the meals are something more special and I like the way it seems to brighten things up for the rest of them too. Mmm, I could go for some strawberries and cream right about now…! Great moment when Legolas pops out of the trees and startles them! I do love smug elves. And I’m enjoying the way you combine humour with an insight into some of the hardships of the journey and Frodo’s suffering. “I mean no offence Boromir, but I think one dressed in the finery of a lord of Gondor is likely to be easily remembered whereas Aragorn, who is well experienced in remaining unnoticed when he chooses, is usually quickly forgotten.” LOL!! So Aragorn isn’t particularly memorable, eh?! I know, I know, he’s just a good Ranger. *snort* I’m really intrigued as to where this is going. These two together will be interesting. I look forward to more :-)

Thanks for the warm welcome back, Dot. I thought it time for a little humour, and so this fic will be a look at the more light hearted side of the relationship between the Fellowship members, and Aragorn and Boromir in particular. Although the quest was indeed serious business and there was much angst, I think there must have been some "fun" moments as well, even for the very reserved Men. This will be one of them, I hope! jenolas
