| A wonderful reason to waken, I must say! Ah, Pippin, so worthy are you to be named a knight of Gondor, alongside Merry as knight of Rohan. And he's had a day to recover more fully. Author Reply: LOL, yes, that extra day of rest was the only way to make him take it easy. Yes, they both are! :-) And the only thing I can hope for is perhaps I've given someone a reason to actually do the research/write about the knightings. Thank you again for reading! Pippinfan | |

| I love the way Pippin reacts to Aragron in this chapter. He's a bit unsure at first as to exactly what is coming, but once he knows he is more pleased for Merry than for himself. Wonderful story and wonderful chapter. I am enjoying this very much. Author Reply: Thank you! I think Pippin knows that he isn't going to get away with his misdeed, yet at the same time, he does not feel sorry in the least for taking a look at Frodo. I am glad that you are enjoying it--I'm enjoying writing it! :-) And thank you so much for all of your faithful reading and reviews! Pippinfan | |

| This is a wonderful chapter. I like the way you've shown how much Pippin has matured by showing that Aragorn didn't have to lecture him about what he'd done, he knew and admitted his folly. The questioning about trust was interesting. It really is a matter of trust for a patient to follow doctor's orders, and it is also a matter of trust for someone to swear service to their king. Lot's of things going on both on the serface here, and underlying, too. I can't believe there's only one more chapter. I hope you have another story brewing. GT. Author Reply: Thank you! I imagine Pippin being at that age where he is both tween and adult. He knew Aragorn wasn't going to let him off the hook so easily. ;-) Trust, to me, is the cruxt of any relationship--a king and his knight is no exception. Aragorn knew he was dealing with a young hobbit and so tested him a wee bit. LOL, I always have a story in the back of my head...but less than half of them make it to fruition. Thank you for being a faithful reader! Pippinfan | |

| Bless his heart! LOL I think it is so funny that Aragorn made him sleep a day through :) I'll be sad to see this end. Author Reply: Well, knowing how rambuncious our Pippin can be, this was the only way Aragorn felt he could keep the tween in one place and rested. :-P Thank you for all your faithful readership and encouragement, Mentor! :-) Pippinfan | |

| You write the combination of love and respect between Pippin and Aragorn sooo well. And ohhh, this passage is lovely: "I trust you, my lord, for so you are. You are no longer my Healer, but my King, and I hereby place my utmost trust in you.” Hobbits speak lightly, except when the occasion calls for more courtly words. I'm thrilled that "Shelter" helped spark this lovely idea for you! :D Author Reply: Awww! Thank *you*! I merely thought that Aragorn would not let his "Knight-to-be" get away with his deed without an explanation. And I agree with your assessment of hobbit speech, although I was treading where I had really not gone before. Thank you again! Thank you so much for all of your wonderful encouragement! Pippinfan | |
