Neath Anor, Ithil, and Gil  by Larner 5 Review(s)

How very Denethor, he sees only the few enemies the Rangers missed, but disregards the ones Faramir and his men destroyed. That man needs some positive thinking!

Author Reply: To focus so on those missed and realize that considering the Rangers are a relatively small force they still managed to exceed what ought to be expectations for them just seems so Denethor, if you will! The Rangers and Faramir can only watch one road at a time, after all!

Greatly evocative in emotion, in such few words. Denethor cares not for the niceties of the table and the comfort of those he questons. I don't think many would choose to eat with him. Too bad Faramir has no choice.



Author Reply: No, little choice in the matter for Faramir, I suspect. And instead of examining Faramir's successes, his father looks instead at those who managed to make it into Mordor, even if it was impossible for Faramir to be everywhere at once.

Thanks so, Fantasy Fan.

Not an easy conversation to have during a meal! Poor Faramir, it's hard to be both a Captain of Rangers and the Steward's less favored son, especially when the struggle against Mordor is so dire.

Author Reply: I so agree, Raksha. And always there is the thought in the father that somehow Boromir could have had his men in all places at almost the same time, and could have halted the coming of all these troops to Mordor! He does appear to expect Faramir to do the work of both sons.

Thanks so!

I am glad to see that Faramir is holding his own quite well!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: He's at least making the attempt, Antane. Thanks!

Enough to upset the most solid of stomachs I would guess. Great Larner.

Author Reply: Indeed! Trying to eat when one is facing implied criticism is difficult.
