| Room Service: This doesn't seem to be out of the realm of possibility at all! I do think Boromir would have "gotten around". I mean, he's young, he's handsome, noble, heroic, the Steward's son...I don't think I'll go any further. ;D And I am truly, TRULY jealous of that girl. Lucky duck. ^_^ Last Service: This was so lovely, but so heartbreaking. I think I cried when I read about Boromir's death in the book. The poor guy! And poor Aragorn... All in all, two VERY good drabbles. P.S: When are you updating "A Time to Reap?" Author Reply: Thanks for your much appreciated review.Your kind and insightful comments made my day.I'm so pleased that you liked these drabbles. I hope to update "A Time to Reap" within the next few weeks.My hits and review counts fell dramatically, so I assumed readers were either away or busy with summer activities, so I took a break to write the short "Comes the Moment to Decide." I'm pleased someone is interested in "A Time to Reap" and can tell you the next chapter has been drafted out and I've no intention of abandoning the story. | |

| What a great and tragic contrast, between vibrant Boromir, admired and desired, in his prime and taking a moment to enjoy the pleasure of a willing woman's ocmpany, and poor dead Boromir, his face being cleaned by his mourning comrade as the last service. Nice reminiscing by Aragorn, of baby Boromir, so loved by his parents. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you liked these.It is amazing what contrasts Muses come up with at times ! | |

| Quite a contrast between the virile young Lord Captain and the gentleness of the King cleansing the dead face of the younger man he remembers as a small child. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you liked the contrast. I had only planned to write the first one, then at the last moment the secont jumped into my head. | |

| Two entirely different drabbles; both enjoyable! The image of Aragorn using a strip from his shirt to bathe Boromir's face is quite touching. Allee Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you enjoyed these and were touched by Aragorn's gesture. | |

| Aragorn tore a strip from his shirt and soaked it in the river. With it he gently bathed the dead man’s face, washing away the blood and grime. It was the last service he could render. That's lovely, and so poignant. Author Reply: Thank you so much, I'm pleased you liked it. | |
