| Aragorn is learning what he needs to know of these people, and now realizes he probably inadvertently killed many slaves in leading the assault on the harbor in Umbar, something he needed to know and accept responsibility for. Alas for those deaths! But he still remains and perfects his basic noble self. Love the thought of the little girl and her flowers, and the memories she stirs in Hakim. Author Reply: Thanks for the wonderful review! I'm glad you saw what was going on in that conversation about Umbar; it will definitely be on his mind from here on out. -Brennan | |

| Sad to see the poor boy growing up so quickly. Aragorn seems to be losing estel. Good story. Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing! Yes, Aragorn is having a tough time at the moment. He has a lot on his mind, to say the least. I hope you keep reading! -Brennan | |

| I've been lax in reviewing this wonderful story! The OCs are very believable, from the father's pride and fear laced with compassion, to Hakim's curiosity about the stranger, and Kali's total acceptance of him. Even in these difficult circumstances Aragorn is still noble and dignified, still a ranger and king-in-exile. I like his discreet questioning of Hakim, and his horror at the fate of the slave rowers on the galley ships :( And you used Tolkien's reference to his travels to 'where the stars are strange'! Author Reply: Thanks for such a wonderful review! I'm glad the OCs are coming across well and that Aragorn's character shines through despite the unusual circumstances. I hope you continue to enjoy this fic! -Brennan | |

| This is one of the best stories I have read in some time. Your characters grow more vivid with each chapter. While I am very anxious to hear about their reunion in Gondor, I love these details of both lives. Also, if Aragorn really was using the twins weapons in the a storage room, I wonder that he survived them finding out. Author Reply: Thanks for another awesome review! I'm glad the details are drawing you in. As for young!Aragorn's misdeeds, that's another story for another day. Maybe. ;D I hope you keep reading! -Brennan | |

| I enjoyed this chapter very much and loved the way you wove bits of canon such as the "strange stars" into the story. You have me increasingly worried how Aragorn will escape! Author Reply: Thanks! I'm glad you commented on the bit with the stars; that image of Aragorn looking up at the sky and discovering unfamiliar constellations was one of my earliest pieces of inspiration that led to the development of this story. It's a small moment, but I enjoyed writing it. -Brennan | |

| Out of respect for the secrecy of the Shire, Aragorn has edited the hobbit out of this tale It's details like that -- the things told and untold -- that make your story so compelling. Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you appreciated the little details. -Brennan | |
