| I loved seeing Ivorwen soften a little .I hope one day she can see Gilraen again. I loved the way the youngsters adore Aragorn. He is becoming good at making decisions too. Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing the chapter! I think that she will see Gilraen again when Gilraen moves back to the village. Gilraen died young, but Ivorwen is a tough old bird and I see her living for quite some time yet, especially now that she has a couple of grandsons to watch over. :) Children can tell when people like them and are pretty good judges of character... at least that has been my observation as I work with them. So, I think they would be naturally drawn to Aragorn, both because he is a good man (just like adults are drawn to his leadership and authority) and because he genuinely likes children and is interested in them. He takes time with them and doesn't brush them aside as many adults do. | |

| Loved your chapter, on the return of the rangers, to their village. I so love Aragorn and Halbarad's grandmother. I do think Aragorn should tell his mother to return to the village and visit her mother. Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing the chapter. I'm glad that you like Ivorwen, she has really grown on me as well. I never quite intended for her to play such a role in the story that she has, but sometimes characters just sort of worm their way into a story and demand your attention. ;) Aragorn doesn't go back to Imladris for years - I don't think - and Gilraen will eventually move back to the village, but it won't be for a very long time either. I don't think that people traveled back then like we do now... not just to visit. But, it would be nice. I do think that now they should at least be able to write to each other since Aragorn is no longer in hiding. | |

| Learning to make command decisions has proven less difficult than it might have been, and speaks well of the preparation Elrond and his people have given him. More orcs near the Bruinen? Yes, time to deal with them indeed. Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing the latest chapter, Larner! Yes, Aragorn was very well prepared before he ever returned to his people and it really didn't take too long for him to learn some of the things he needed to learn. I also think that he had just such a natural charisma that drew people and that helped a lot as well. | |

| Yes - often offense is better than waiting and being on the defensive. It really does sound like Aragorn is beginning it get the hang of being a good leader. Looking forward to more. Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing the latest chapter! Yes, they really need to go and get rid of these orcs who have been hanging around in the general area... it's not something they can just ignore and hope they'll go away. :) | |
