| I've just read you're story so far and I like it very much... It's great to see more of the Dunedain and the lives they live. I loved reading the first paragrafs of this chapter... older woman ... Just wait till Aragorn finally tells Halbarad about Arwen.... I think hiss jaw is gonna hit the floor on that ;) Nice to see the people of the village take in the others so willingly, even though they may not like all of them. Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing the story, I'm glad that you have enjoyed it. I've certainly had fun with the Dunedain culture, there is very little written about them and so I get to use my imagination quite a bit. Yes, Halbarad will be quite stunned when he finds out about Arwen, though I don't think he will actually learn about her for quite a few years. | |

| Ladrenil's courtesy and acceptance has given a worthy example to the rest of Dolomar as to how to accept the newcomers. So-Halbarad is beginning to notice the young ladies, is he? A wonderful thing for a young man of his age. And he's realizing his cousin has different standards for considering an appropriate age difference.... Wait until he learns for certain whom his cousin considers as the queen of his heart! Lovely homecoming for all of them. Author Reply: Thanks for the review, Larner! Yes, Halbarad is noticing the young ladies though he wouldn't typically marry for quite a few years in 'my' idea of the Dunedain. But it seemed a pretty natural thing for two young men to discuss and so I just had to bring up the age difference... how could I not? :) Halbarad won't find out about Arwen in this story but he will be shocked when he finds out, 3,000 years is a little much! Ladrenil did really set the tone for the acceptance of the people into the village. The fact that the homes were set up and ready for them and supper was prepared, etc., all of those things would go a long way to easing your nervousness about being welcomed and not being a burden. Thanks again! | |

| I continue to harbor a fondness for sharp-tongued Ivorwen. Aragorn doesn't show that testiness often, but I can imagine that he didn't suffer fools gladly. My favorite part of the chapter is at the beginning, with the hilarious discussion of older women! Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing, Amy! I'm pretty fond of Ivorwen myself, the character has really grown on me and has become much more than I ever thought she would be. Some characters just do that. I don't believe that Aragorn thinks his grandmother is a fool, I think he is starting to read her fairly well and knows she has been hurt by the things of life and sometimes says things that she doesn't really mean. I'm glad you liked the discussion between Aragorn and Halbarad about older women... I figured they had to talk about women some time and it just seemed natural for the subject of older women to come up. When Halbarad finds out about Arwen, which won't happen in this story, he will be shocked! Thanks again, Radbooks | |

| I am glad to see them all safely at Dolomar. I am also glad to see Aragorn's relationship with his grandmother developing, albeit slowly. Looking forward to lots more of this Radbooks. Author Reply: Thank you for reviewing, I appreciate it. Yes, they were able to get all home safely, with just a little bit of tension on the way. I think they've seen enough of orcs and tragedy for a time. Aragorn and Ivorwen's relationship is growing step-by-step and while she'll never be a milk and cookie kind of grandmother, I do think they will eventually have at least a level of relationship that will be satisfying to both of them.
