Loved Sam's curiosity in what a balrog is in the first and his innocent response was just adorable. The second one is so sad! :*( Author Reply: Unfortunately, innocence must so often be the price paid for dearly won wisdom, as both he and Frodo learned through such bitter experience. But I can so imagine practical Sam thinking of a practical use for such a creature--before he had first-hand experience with the horror of it! | |

Sam has always practical ideas, even how to "use" a Balrog! But poor Frodo! He was far away with his thoughts, maybe reliving Gandalf's fall with the Balrog over and over again. So it was really a good thing that Sam could distract him for a moment. Author Reply: Oh, somehow I missed this one. I can definitely imagine Sam thinking of the practical uses of such creatures--heh! Now that they've survived the day, it's inevitable that the realization of Gandalf's fall will hit them, and particularly Frodo. Yes, he needed Sam's presence, I think. Thanks so! | |

Balrogs!!!! I wonder what people would say if I got one for a pet........................ Author Reply: You could keep it in Namo's firepot, I suppose! Heh! | |

Love Sam's practical use of a Balrog. :) And even more that he can make his master laugh even in grief. *hugs him* Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: Oh, Sam's nothing if not practical, even in his whimsy! Thanks so, and I, too, was glad that Sam managed to provoke a small laugh, at least, at that moment. | |
