Loved the first meeting of Thorongil and Boramir. Good try on Boramir's part, trying to get the star. Never hurts to ask.

At least he didn't try to pull it off Thorongil's cloak, as some kids I know would have!

Thanks!

I enjoyed the meeting with Thorongil, but I have to say what amused me most about this was the way you captured Boromir's speech. "Hello, guards." "Star, please." LOL. What a nice little boy. See, he says please! You really do have a way of writing children, Edoraslass.

The little rascal has already figured out that you're more likely to get what you want if you smile really widely and be polite. :)

Thank you! I do really enjoy writing the little ones.

Oh what a wonder first...and second...meeting with the Captain. I am glad that she had a chance to revise that first impression. And very observant to spot that he was a ranger by his stance and walk.

Heee. She just thinks everyone in the world ought to pay very close attention to her little duckling. :)

Thank you!

I was wondering just the other day when we'd get more stories of Boromir, Faramir and their Nanny. So happy to see the alerts in my box earlier this evening. :o) This one though I think is my favourite of the new ones. Boromir's first meeting w/Captain Thorongil. I loved Boromir asking for his Star of the Dunadain and Aragorn remarking how Boromir was just like his father, he knew what he wanted and wasn't afraid to ask for it. Also how Aragorn kneeled down to Boromir's level. Nanny is very correct in that even in this day and age, not many people realize how intimidating we adults can be to a little one when they're meeting us for the first time.

I hope this isn't the first time we see Thorongil meet Boromir and Nanny.

Now there's a not so subtle hint, huh? LOL!!!

I do so love these little vignettes. Thanks for a lovely hour of catching up w/Nanny and the boys. :o)

I just kept forgetting to post stuff as I wrote it!

I hope this isn't the first time we see Thorongil meet Boromir and Nanny.
I just can't decide - if Boromir's a year and a half here, Thorongil won't be around much longer. But who knows what I'll decide to do? :0

Thank you!

One of my favorites in this excellent series! Perfect characterization of Aragorn/Thorongil, intense, driven, but also able to show kindness and understanding. And I love bitty!Boromir wanting the Ranger's star.

Author Reply: I really do better writing Thorongil or Strider than Aragorn, which I realize makes very little sense.

Well, it's shiny and pretty. :)

Thanks!
