| I'm so glad Elrond has Trotter safe! Safe, but not unharmed, not at all... That is probably one of the worst things a hobbit could hear! :( Poor Hildifons! | |

| Oh, dear. I knew there would be an injury or a death because of the screaming but this surprised me. Now I begin to see why he never returned to the Shire and how he came to live in Rivendell long enough to keep a journal. Of all of the injuries that can happen to hobbits, anything to do with the feet must have been very frightening indeed! | |

| Gaaah! This was really tragic, especially Trotter's weeping at the end. I have the feeling this is the worst injury he could have sustained, psychologically. Author Reply: I imagined that hobbits are quite vain about their feet, and that having them maimed and unsightly would have been a greater blow to him than it would have to a Man, who would have been more worried about the walking again part of it. | |

| Well, maybe I should change my opinion that it wasn't a disaster, but I'm sure Trotter will cope with it, though it would hurt to lose one foot's hair also, that was just the last straw wasn't it? Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: I think that it being his *feet* was what made it so dreadful to him. I always imagine most hobbits as being a bit vain about their feet, so it would have been awful to have them maimed! | |

| "Where am I? What time is it?" I think I have a deja vu ;-) Only the characters are different. But poor Trotter! What a tragedy! Hobbits are extremely proud of their feet, especially the foot hair (why, some of them even were named after their attitude). Gamgeefest is right, though. Trotter should be glad that he still *has* his feet. Without the quick help of Elrond that might not be the case. Author Reply: I think I have a deja vu ;-) Only the characters are different. I did it on purpose, of course. But it's only natural that a hobbit would want to reset his biological clock after having been unconscious. I think it is the existence of the Proudfoot clan that gives rise the idea of how proud hobbits are of their feet! Yes, you are right about that! | |

| Somehow I managed to miss this chapter. But now we do know, along with Hildifons, just how badly he was injured by the fall of rock. Poor lad! No wonder he doesn't wish to go home and present the Tooks with himself as a cripple! Although again his vanity may not be the best thing for him. A terrible situation! Author Reply: He was dreadfully injured-- could not help but be! And it is a tragic situation. | |

| Oh, poor Trotter. He got his nickname from his ability to move quickly, and now he never will again. But I wonder, will he get a pair of wooden shoes to wear? Either way, his Rangering days are likely over. Author Reply: I think you will soon get the answer to your question! (and about the Rangering, as well!) | |

| At least the "monster surgeon" ;) was able to spare Trotter's feet, but his recovery will not be easy. Poor dear. I'm sure there was a fair amount of strain on his legs and hips as well. I wouldn't have been surprised if there had been stress fractures there too, but Trotter was spared this additional misery at least. *hugs Trotter tight* Thorn must be feeling dreadful! Author Reply: I had plenty of good advice as to how to make sure that Trotter's feet could be spared! Thorn does feel pretty dreadful-- an awful lesson on the consequences of impulsiveness! | |
