Useful for this man to have a foster sonship to call upon eh? *grin* Still loving the Lindelea.

Author Reply: Very useful! (Hope I'm not stretching credulity to its breaking point, to where this would have to be labelled "AU"!)

What a wonderfully brave pair of little boys! Will we ever really know Tod and Teddy's ultimate fates?

And Elessar has a stubborn Took on his hands. As stubborn as the Took, Brandybuck, Baggins and Gamgee he's dealt with before? Maybe so.

Author Reply: Hmm. Their fates? Well, there just might be something to that. It would be a shame if they ended up decorating trees outside the Bounds of the Shire in future years.

I do think Tolly is quite stubborn, though perhaps a notch below Ferdi and two notches below Pippin.

Remember--Aragorn is a 63 or 64 times great NEPHEW of Elrond's! Dreamflower can tell you--she worked it out, IIRC. Heh! Yes, Elvish blood in them-there Dunedain! (Which is why I've taken delight in ascribing Aragorn's scruffiness in the movies to a beard that grows painfully s-l-o-w-l-y.

Author Reply: Yes, I knew he was great-great-great-something nephew of Elrond's, though I never took the time to work out the generations. Dreamflower is amazing.

LOL--I always thought it made an effective disguise. Do you suppose Elrond took him in hand and taught him how to look as disreputable as possible so that enemy agents hunting for him would never target *him* as a prospective King?

Oh, I am so proud of the boys and Tolly, and glad Aragorn's there now!

Author Reply: I'm glad he's there, too, for both Tolly's and Pippin's sake! (And Meadowsweet's, and Tolly's brothers, and his children...)
