| Aha! Truly delightful to see this from poor Gimli's POV. And in this case Legolas DID deserve it! Heh! The Dwarf is now avenged! Author Reply: Hello Larner, Indeed! Legolas was rather naughty and got his well-deserved come-uppance from a poorly pony. At least Bill's feeling better now - as well as Gimli! Thanks for R & R-ing, M ;) | |

| ROTFL!!!! That was hilarious! First of all Pippin's well-meant instructions, Gimli actually trying them out and his final resolve to better carry "the ancient one" to Mount Doom than the little rascal. Secondly, Legolas' song! It was very hobbity, indeed. But if I remember right, that was also true for the songs sung by the elves of Mirkwood in "The Hobbit". Cheeky elves ;-) And last but not least, the "incident"! Well, elf and dwarf behaved very naughty before. But I'm laughing along with Gimli! The princeling should have held his tongue! Only one chapter to go? "Schade!" I really liked this story :) Author Reply: Hello Andrea, Arme Gimli, nicht wahr? Und arme Legolas auch! But the cheeky twosome got what they deserved: Gimli for wanting to take swing at Bill, and Legolas for making fun of a distressed dwarf! This stage in LOTR (when all are gathered at Rivendell, waiting for the order to leave) is a perfect opportunity for a fic full of mischief - especially ad dwarf and elf had yet to discover their great friendship. Having a more innocent quartet of hobbits is a gift too, for although they have endured more trials than their kind would experience in lifetime even at this point, they have yet to face the harsh realities of war. Rivendell is just too irresistible a place at this stage not to have them all creating mischief... I'm thrilled you're enjoying everything from Pippin's cheeky comments and Gimli's unflattering head couture, to Legolas' impromptu (and completely disgusting) 'shower'! Thanks for R & R-ing, M ;) | |

| Ha!Ha!Ha! It's been a long time since I have laughed this hard! Thank you, I am keeping this in my favorites for whenever I need a good laugh, very well done! Hugs The Imp Author Reply: Hello Elflingimp, I'm thrilled to bits that you had such a good laugh - and flattered without end that you're favouriting 'A Pony's Tale' for a giggle in the future. Hopefully, it'll continue to put a smile on your face when you need it to ;) Yhanks for R & R-ing, M ;) | |

| Oh merciful heavens! Legolas and Gimli both were being rather brats, weren't they? It's a wonder Elrond did not pull them out of the Fellowship! Good old Bill! I look forward to seeing more of his POV. Author Reply: Helo Dreamflower, Gosh, I hope Tolkien didn't actually perceive the rocky start of their relationship quite as torridly as my own pen does - they'd never have made it as far as Hollin ;) But you have the right of it: they are a couple of brats, indeed. However, the sharp words of Glóin should go a long way to force them to mind their p's and q's when they're in the same room (and Gandalf will sort out any tomfoolery on the quest, I hope). Bill's pov will be up in the next chapter, so I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for R & R-ing, m'dear, M ;) | |

| Oh my! This really makes you think about how interesting the early days of the fellowship might have been... Loved Pippin's suggestion - and the aftermath - but REALLY enjoyed Gloin giving Legolas and Gimli a good tongue lashing in the Hall of Fire! (Your Gloin reminded me a little of my own father there!) This story has been so enjoyable, I almost hate to think it will soon be finished. Author Reply: Hello Ainariel, It's great that you enjoyed this chapter so much! Pippin is a bit innocent at this stage of the quest, and that fact is a lot of fun to play around with...imagine, a bald elf! Only Pip! Glóin's litle display in the Hall of Fire is proving quite popular, to my surprise, I'm thrilled that you and other readers (here on SoA and elsewhere) have taken to it so much! It was a lot of fun to have him publicly berate the two upstarts; I imagine they will be more cautious around each other in the future, thanks to him. (I would mess with Glóin...or your father. Dads, you've got to love them!). I'm so happy that you have stayed with this story throughout its duration; I am a little sad that it's coming to an end too. But I will do a Gimli/Legolas humour fic again, placing them in the Shire with none other than my hobbit OC Farlibar Barliburn (Valar help them!). Thanks for R & R-ing, your reviews are a tonic to this author's heart, M ;) Author Reply: P.S. Oops! I meant to say I wouldn't mess with Glóin (or your dad). M :o) | |

| That these two end up best friends to the degree that they are loath to part and go both the Undying Lands is even more incredible and wonderful with all the feuding they are doing here! Love Gloin's making them apologize. Love most Pippin's 'cure' for baldness and the explosion of mirth it caused in Merry and Bilbo. That was the best part. Had some other smirks in here too. The last couple sentences are cute. Thanks, cuz. Namarie, God bless, Your Tookish bloom :) Author Reply: Hello bloom, I find I can have a right good laugh with Legolas and Gimli and put them through all sorts of confrontations with each other at this stage - because I know that, in the end, the will be two of the greatest friends to have ever dwelled in Middle Earth! And I suspected yu might have a bit of a laugh at Pippin's cheeky diatribes - you've got to love a Took! I know that there is a certain amount of fact behind his 'hairy' words because a lot of butchers etc experience the phenomena of hairy shoulders for that reason, so it seemed appropriate to have Pip make the suggestion (although he did rather digress from the point when he suggested Gimli rub it on his head! Thenls for R & R-ing, m'dear, M ;) | |
