| Ah, Lady Meldis and Trotter are bonding, just as he bonded with Thorn :) I love how he's settling in with his friends in Two Rivers! A very good thing, that! | |

| I see Trotter found the kitchen. So very like a hobbit to locate the kitchen. I am very glad mother and child are well. Author Reply: Yes, when in doubt, cook. I suppose that could be a motto of hobbits! I didn't want anything *very* dreadful to happen-- just in doubt enough to make a little anxiety. Fortunately I had some good advice about the medical matters. | |

| Trotter is making himself right at home, helping with the cooking and lightening the mood as much as he can. Thank goodness the baby was born without complications, and the mother is well! Author Reply: He is; I think that is a hobbit's talent, to help wherever possible. There might very well have *been* complications if Elrohir had not shown up to help! Fortunately, he did! | |

| I'm glad that mother and newborn daughter are well! They had the best healer available. Trotter and "Thorn" became fast friends. And that's no wonder, for Trotter must have fascinated the little boy with his many brothers and sisters and their funny names :) I also liked it very much that the hobbit helped with preparing the meal. He was not asked to do so, he just did it. And that was the best he could do under those circumstances. Author Reply: Yes, Elrohir's arrival was very fortuitous! I think that Trotter really did fascinate the little boy. I think that with hobbits, it's the natural thing to do, to offer help with the cooking. | |

| This was so cute, although I was a little saddened to think of how close Trotter felt to his siblings back home while they all think he's dead and gone. But I liked the similarity between Meldis and Trotter's own mother, who must have been a SuperMum in her own right! Author Reply: I know. Hildifons still has not thought through all the repercussions of his leaving the way he did. He may be 33, but in some ways he's still young. I like sensible and level-headed mothers, and that's the way I write most of the ones in my stories, with the occasional plot-driven exception, of course, LOL! (And I'd say Adamanta Chubb Took was definitely a Super-mum, with twelve progeny to deal with!) | |

| Ah, yes--children and the places that mean the most to them! As I'm certain you recall, in one story children led Gimli to the woodpile, certain he'd find it interesting! Heh! I quite like young Arathorn, and rejoice he now has a little sister! Very nice! And Hildifons is just the one to keep the little boy distracted! Author Reply: Yes, a child's version of "important sights" is quite different from that of an adult! He has a little sister now, and will have a good example in Trotter of how to be a big brother! | |

| One of 12! Isn't that wonderful! I love the way Thorn was introduced to the brood. And now a new life also has been born. Having a C-section would be risky that far back so it's good this one turned out well! :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: It would have been very risky. From what my medical consultant told me, a C-section nearly always resulted in the death of the mother, up until very recent centuries. I had the scene in mind, of Trotter and little Arathorn bonding over the idea of brothers and sisters, all the way back in the very beginning of the story. | |
