| Poor Mac! He was doing the responsible thing, and followed his aunt's orders of taking Frodo outside, and he still runs into trouble. This was another wonderful chapter, Lily. I'm really enjoying how you've taken such a minor character, mentioned only in the Family Trees, and giving him such a personality and life. It is very plausible indeed that Merimac would have once babysat his youngest cousin, Frodo. I really liked Primula's motherly concerns, along with thinking she knows her nephew so very well. I also liked how Drogo sees past Mac's mischief and knows that there is a responsible, yet fun-loving lad underneath that will care for Frodo. Drogo must certainly have seen how much his young son adores his older cousin, and knew he would much more enjoy being watched after Mac than some 'boring lass.' I can't wait to see what you have in store next for Mac! Author Reply: Thank you so much, Elemmire! (how do you do the dots on the "e"?) Merimac is a delight to write and with every story I learn a little more about him. I'm glad you have come to like him, even though he is only a minor character which is not even mentioned in the book. I'm sure Primula sees as well that Frodo adores Merimac but Merimac is too much... well, Merimac, an irresponsible tween, to be trusted with so young a child as Frodo. Thankfully Mac proved her wrong. | |

| Love the comfort Frodo's able to give Merimac, and that Merimac is indeed growing up. Lovely image, the two of them curled together on Frodo's bed. Author Reply: What's better comfort than a young cousin offering to blow on a fresh wound? Glad you liked it. | |

| This series is beautiful. I loved the relationship between Frodo and Merimac. This is so unique and works well in giving us a glimpse of Frodo life with the Brandybucks and setting the foundation he had to later become the Ringbearer. Happy writing to you. I love discovering new authors, and I am looking forward to reading more of your stories. Author Reply: Thank you very much, Ami! | |

| Yeah! Mac is back ;-) And I thought something would happen to Frodo ... Frodo glared at him angrily, pouting and crossing his arms in front of his chest, which looked rather ridiculous considering that the child was wrapped in a thick, dark blue jacket that hardly allowed any movement. His scarlet cap reached down to his eyebrows making it almost impossible for him to keep his eyes open. Yep! Definitely a dwarf! Mac showed indeed a good amount of responsibility and endurance here, not only for Frodo, but also for himself. If I think of that needle, oh my! He felt a tingling in his chin and inevitably shuddered, desperate to focus his attention on Frodo's face which, to his dismay, bore an absolutely fascinated and curious expression which did not help to lessen his discomfort in the least. Haha! I can see that! Mac was a fine young hobbit, though he knew how to hide it. Primula is right! Just give him some more time to live out his tweenager years and you will have a real fine hobbit! Author Reply: *grins* Ah... when Mac is there you can be sure that nothing will happen to whoever accompanies him. A fine young hobbit, indeed... he only needs a little longer to grow up :) | |
