| Running away is never the best strategy, but it does offer respite and distance, so I understand the allure of it. And Faramir is right. Poor Eldarion--not master of his own fate--or perhaps moreso than Faramir currently foresees. I suppose we must learn the answer to that eventually. Author Reply: Yes, you can be the heir to the greatest kingdom on earth - which Eldarion is - and still be quite powerless to command people's feelings. As for Fíriel, she'll come back when she's got over the shock, but she needs a respite - good word. Elves are good at providing that, as when the Company sojourns in Lórien. | |

| Loved the Faramir/Eldarion interaction; I can see here, that Faramir isn't at all intimidated by the kid's rank. Nice Eowyn/Firiel moments too. Author Reply: Denethor may have intimidated Faramir - Tolkien says he was 'daunted', but as a subject rather than a son. (I'm not sure this is what comes out in the actual book, though.) I can't see Faramir being daunted by anyone else, even Aragorn. | |
