| So the elves are making a lay about Estel’s heroic deed? Good :) Anyway, I’m glad he’s safely back to the Stronghold and in the care of the healers. Though the exercises seem to be very painful. Poor guy. And who’d thought Thranduil, of all people, would help care for Estel, thinking back to his less than courteous welcome? Seems as if he's beginning to like Estel ;) Estel’s dreams of Arwen are interesting – more visions than dreams, actually, as we all know. Oh yes, I can imagine Mithrandir was very interested in that! And speaking of Arwen – I absolutely love the story of her first unaided steps. Of course, where could Arwen have been picking up ‚pui-en-orch’, if not from Glorfindel? *lol* And Celeborn teaching her the proper pronouncation was just perfect! Author Reply: I liked that Thranduil was willing to help Estel in his recovery. It shows a softer, more compassionate side of the Elvenking we rarely see in fanfic I think. And obviously his opinion of Estel has improved over time. The story of Arwen's first steps was fun to write as well and of course Glorfindel would be the one to be blamed for her bad language. *grin* Celeborn teaching her the correct pronunciation was to me a typical grandfatherly thing to do. | |

| Poor Aragorn has been through the mill in this story, and now we have him being compared to Arwen? Now, that is quite the idea! And your appropriations of song titles for chapter titles become more amusing! Have you ever read Primsong's "Nothing of Note?" I think you'd truly appreciate her humor, chapter titles, and names for visiting Dwarves. Author Reply: No, I haven't read Primsong's story, but I'll look it up. Thanks. I didn't so much think Elrond was comparing Aragorn to Arwen so much as comparing the circumstances of walking across the hall into someone's waiting arms. | |

| *Grin* Poor Arwen - how embarrassing to fall down while watched by everyone. No wonder she said orc spit :>) I can't blame Celebrían for immediately blaming the twins - they do seem the most likely suspects! Author Reply: Big brothers, little sister... a deadly combination and I'm sure they were guilty of plenty of mischief with Arwen so it's natural for Celebrían to look to blame them first before seeking others to blame. | |

| Sorry; I should have mentioned that was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Author Reply: Oh I know. I was just being mendacious about it. You have to admit though, that I've done everything to the poor schmuck but have certain of his bodily parts removed (but then, that wouldn't be canon, would it?). Someday I should write a story where absolutely nothing bad happens to Aragorn.... NOT! | |

| Wow. I think you've definitely covered all the major bodily fluids now. I have to feel mortified on behalf of poor Aragorn - not only is half of Mirkwood discussing his private nocturnal activities but he has to rely on a female caregiver to clean up the evidence. Good incentive to work hard on his physical therapy, I suppose. Author Reply: Well, I don't think half of Mirkwood is doing anything of the sort, since they wouldn't be aware of it. And Nessiel is a healer, so such things would not faze her. I've been on the wrong side of the hospital bed too many times myself to know that as embarrassing as it might be for you, the hospital staff are professionals and you just have to deal with such things as sponge baths and dressing changes, etc. And Aragorn being a healer would recognize this even if he doesn't like it. | |

| I have been enjoying this story very, very much but have just now had a chance to review it. I only hope that Aragorn is still going to be alive at the end of it. :) I'm glad that Glorfindel is in the story because he is my favorite elf and I don't get to read about him too often... especially in a story with Aragorn. Each of the characters are very well drawn and distinct and I look forward to reading the next chapter. I did not think this chapter needed a warning, your story is rated PG-13 and the section was very discreet and tastefully written. In fact, once I had passed that I thought there must be something else because that was so mild... I guess I've seen stuff that is much more descriptive. Author Reply: Hi Radbooks. Glad you have been enjoying the story, especially Glorfindel, who happens to be one of my favorite elves too. And you're right, you don't see too many stories featuring him, especially in a story with Aragorn. We need to write more Glorfindel stories I suppose (hint, hint). | |

| Well, IMHO I didn't think this chapter needed the warning. Yes, Estel had dreams but the way they are written in a tasteful manner and it guides you towards what the dream is but never comes out and states it, at least not to me. I have read others that definately need the rating and this is tame to those, again IMHO. I am enjoying every chapter! Author Reply: Alassiel suggested I might want to put the warning on not so much for any adults that were reading it, because, as you say, the descriptions of the dreams are very discreet and tame in comparison to others I've read, but more for any teenagers who might be reading the story and might not be comfortable with reading about "wet" dreams. If enough readers think the warning is unnecessary I will probably remove it. | |
