| Lovely character sketches! Sam's modest welcome, Pippin's outspokenness (no filters, or maybe I mean no guardrails?), Aragorn's silent reassurance as to the kind of man he is not, Merry's gentle teasing, Faramir's perceptiveness. I love your description of hobbit cookery from Faramir's viewpoint. I agree with him completely! I suddenly realised that at this point in time, Faramir is still "Captain of Gondor" and not yet "Prince of Ithilien". More glorious hobbitry! Water hot and dancing on tables! Aha. At the end, it appears that the two men are at last on a first-name basis. Or something of the sort. Delightful chapter. I'm looking forward to reading more. Author Reply: Lindelea, Thank you for reading and reviewing! Yes, in this story, Faramir was not yet the Prince of Ithilien, and he did not even know that he would remain the Steward after the King returns. Hobbitry is glorious indeed. I hope to write more on that, though my default styke is rather sombre and hobbitry does not come naturally to me. The two men are at last on a first-name basis. Aragorn had been waiting for this, but he let Faramir to be the one initiating it. Faramir, well, to him Aragorn will forever be, first and foremost, his lord and king. | |

| “Lord Faramir!” he cried, rushing forward to give him a fierce embrace. “Finally I get to see you again! And on your feet and with a lady! When Merry told me you were wooing, I told him it could not be, you almost died and in mourning and must be busy preparing the City for another siege. But it seems you are even more capable than I thought!” Pippin always makes me smile. What a lovely reunion of the hobbits and Faramir. =) Author Reply: Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed this chapter. | |

| Merry sat next to Éowyn. He grinned widely at Faramir. “You two surpassed my expectation! I did not think you two would have managed without me prodding you along. How I love the embraces, exuberance, and straightforward comments of hobbits! :) Author Reply: Thank you! It means a lot to me that you, who has written so many delightful stories about hobbits, enjoyed this one. | |
