| Quite the threat, that. Ah, yes, our gallant Merry! Very worthy of his place as sword-brother to the White Lady! Author Reply: I don't know exactly how the neckbreaking would go about, but it's a worthy threat. Perhaps Faramir would already be damaged by the first two assaults to bring him down to Merry's level! | |

| LOL. I like this a lot. This gives a nice mental image of the little hobbit threatening the tall man. And I'm sure that Faramir would never break Éowyn's heart. Cheers, Vilwarin. Author Reply: I'm sure he wouldn't, either, but some things have to be said. Thank you! | |

| Squeeeeeeeeeeeee! Thanx for my birthday mathom! There are precious little Merry/Faramir conversations in Tolkien fanfic; and this one is delightful. I can imagine Faramir rather surprised (maybe secretly tickled) that not only the hobbit but all of Minas Tirith knows about his love for Eowyn. And of course Merry would be protective of his sword-sister in terms of future heartbreak from Faramir. Author Reply: You are most welcome! In one sense Faramir is closest to Merry out of all the hobbits because they had to wait for news of the war together--plus there was that interesting discreet conversation about Eowyn herself... With that in mind I really can't see this conversation not happening! | |

| This was a conversation that just had to happen, wasn't it? Yep. Merry would be just that protective of his sword-sister. Such a gem of dialogue! I loved this bit: “Heavens! You were kissing her in full daylight in the gardens, and you think news hasn’t gotten around?” “I try,” said Faramir mildly, “to have faith in the decorum of the people of Minas Tirith.” Merry chuckled. “It must be faith, for it isn’t placed on any reason that I can see. *grin* That sounded so much like Merry! As did the conclusion; having delivered his message, he'd never bring it up again without need. (And I'm trying to imagine Faramir with this line in front of him-- an irate Eowyn, with her brother and Merry standing right behind her, thumbing their swords. Not that Faramir would ever have any reason to face such a gauntlet! He's far too honorable and intelligent.) Author Reply: I know; such warnings seem a little ridiculous when you consider that it's Faramir involved. But they'd have to happen anyway, and I'm sure that Eomer has already threatened Faramir with war against Gondor should he mess things up. No pressure or anything... *grin* | |
