| I don't think you went too far at all with the inference of Faramir's ability to gentle and tame animals. Not only did Beregond mention it, but it is obvious from JRRT's characterisation that Faramir has compassion and respect for animals (and many people), and has considerable patience and self-control, which would be essential for working with animals. Also, he's intelligent and would perservere in the doing of anything he deems necessary. Good to see that Faramir has not only a pet, but a pet who could do some serious damage to anyone who tries to harm him. Though I think Indis could find a dog for him, too. Good chapter. Author Reply: I'm wondering how the eagle will stack up against one of the Nazgul. *shivers* However, I've read some tales about Faramir and animals that were so far-fetched that I had to laugh through most of them.... I think, in this case, that Faramir's intelligence (as you so rightly stated) would help him immediately figure out what was needed. And the bird would have 'felt' the respect the boy had for it. Patience is what won this, I think... along with a nicely chewed bit of meat : ) Many thanks for the review! PS - It was Denethor, if I recall rightly, who refused dogs in the Citadel - perhaps they reminded him too much of the curs in Edoras. Ok - loyal Rohirric fans - don't beat me up - but you must remember the little quote of Saruman's!!!! | |

| I don’t think you went too far with Faramir and the eaglet. Falcons are tamed all the time. I don’t know how, but they are. So it seems to me that what Faramir did could possibly be one of the ways. It looks like he might have his first pet. Author Reply: Thanks for your voite of confidence. The way Beregond speaks of Faramir's command of both men and animals seems to point towards a gift of Faramir's... So I'm using it. Seems to me he asked Denethor for a dog awhile back and that was denied - Yes! I think Faramir finally has, not only a pet, but a friend.... Bless you for the review! | |

| Alas that someone killed its parent that way! But at least it is able to fly, and it appears to have chosen Faramir! And he has obviously watched birds feeding their babes--wise child. I am impressed. Author Reply: I think one of Faramir's greatest gifts was his ability to watch and listen and learn.... Many thanks for the review! | |
