| This is just so cool Lily! (sorry, I know that sounds a bit twerpy, but it is cool :-) ) I'm really enjoying how you are handling the Took Sight and I like your Paladin. I think it is wonderful that he can see the light in Frodo. Eagerly looking forward to more :-) Author Reply: I love writing the Took Sight and, though all my stories (this one included) about it are rather short, I hope that there will be more to come. I'm very happy you're enjoying my portrait of Paladin. | |

| “I don’t know. I was drawn here, I think.” Unseeing eyes stared at the wall and the voice that spoke to Paladin was distant. “It was just a feeling.” I think there's more about it than Frodo is able to put into words just now! And Paladin's perception of Frodo's Light of Being fit just perfectly into this story! Frodo was also gifted with "a Sight". Maybe it's different from the Tooks', I don't know. But I'm sure we will find out in this story :) Now, I'm looking forward to reading more about Pippin's "skills"! Author Reply: Frodo was also gifted with "a Sight". Maybe it's different from the Tooks', I don't know. But I'm sure we will find out in this story :) "A Sight" fits quite well. Frodo is more perceptive than others (at least for me) but what he sees is not the Took Sight, though seeing that he is part Took it might have influenced his own gift. Pippin's skills don't differ from Paladin's - but they are hardly discussed in this story. Maybe I'll write about them one day. | |

| Yes, Frodo's Light of Being is already obvious to those who know; and Paladin knows that Frodo feels something, even if Frodo's not certain what it is he feels. Author Reply: Yes, Frodo feels more than he knows - and Paladin somehow senses it. I like "playing" with Frodo's Light of Being. | |

| No, it cannot be taught. It’s inborn and cannot be controlled. It’s like doing a puzzle you don’t know whether you’ve got all the pieces. I love that description of the Sight - it's perfect! I really enjoyed Paladin and Frodo's conversation here...and that Pippin has inherited the Sight from his father. :) Author Reply: I'm glad you like my description of the Sight. It's just how I've always pictured it - ever since I first learned of its existence. And yes, Pippin has inherited more than just his father's looks, even though Mac doesn't quite believe it. But then, Mac doesn't quite believe in the Sight anyway. | |
