| Oh, that was indeed close for Faramir! I am sure though that it will only do the citizens good to see the King and Steward about helping out in the rebuilding of the City. | |

| very good story. Elassar has what he needs to solve the problem. He just does not know he has it. Looking forward to more. Author Reply: Happens so often in real life, don't you find? You have what you need to solve a problem, but don't know it until you wake up in the middle of the night with the sudden realisation. Of course, sometimes it's just a dream and not a solution at all. But one can hope. | |

| I love the recognition of Faramir as the Steward - whereas the King is not known and seen only as a healer. It does sort of back up both the idea that the King needs to be seen as supporting the law - and that the public would be quite receptive to the idea that the saving of the Steward could be regarded as a Special Case. And Faramir needs someone to watch over him in Ithilien ... Author Reply: Yup. Elessar is an outsider, come to the throne. I can understand him being cautious and not throwing tradition out the window. In some other story I have a conversation between him and Faramir about how the people are *expecting* Beregond to be executed, and that, in a terrible way, they'll even be *relieved* by it, by the fact that life will go on as it has (with the exception that, of course, the Dark Lord no longer menaces them) even though there's a new ruler. (The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know...) | |

| Come on, my dear, beloved Lord Elessar--the thought is SOMEWHERE there, within you, Sam, or Frodo--probably all three of you--that there is a truly HONORABLE form of banishment from the city, in which Beregond merely changes officially to the Master he has already shown he loves, and becomes captain of the guard ELSEWHERE! Come on Aragorn--you can do it! Heh! Author Reply: Bet he'd have thought of it sooner if he had got enough sleep. (Now why can't I take my own advice?) | |

| I seem to be having trouble with reviewing Lindelea. This should have started with this quote A part of his mind wondered just what Gondor would do if Steward and King were both wrenched away in the same instant. but it didn't go up on the review - sorry! Author Reply: Aha, the pieces fit perfectly. And never apologise for leaving feedback. It is truly a boon. Thanks! | |

A very good question Lindelea. These two do seem to have a tendency to put themselves in harm's way don't they? *wry grin* Now I understand it in Beregond's desparate state but these two have lots to live for - not to mention lady-loves! But then they are both the hero-types that will always put others first! Don't you just love them? I loved the bit where it was alright for the 'healer' to risk his life but not the steward! BTW I try not to quote bits too much as I could often end up quoting the whole chapter or fic! Author Reply: Ah those Rangers, northern or southern doesn't seem to matter, they're all the same. Adrenalin-junkies, perhaps. Or perhaps it's kinder to say they're the "hands on" type. Healers are probably used to putting their lives on the line... actually rabidsamfan had mentioned watching old episodes of "Emergency" and I suppose that Faramir and Elessar would fit right in to that picture. | |
