| I had to look up Aranya to understand the significance of the exchange. (I don't know if you defined it in an earlier chapter. If so, I forgot.) I noticed that Aragorn's acceptance of Faramir's oath reversed the order of the "rewards" compared to Denethor's response to Pippin, putting love last rather than vengeance and, thus, somehow emphasising the positive over the negative. Nicely done! I enjoyed this story very much! Author Reply: Thank you so much! I'm sorry for the delayed reply--I must have overlooked this review. I remember the word Aranya with fondness, as I learned that word while enjoying Fiondil's amazing stories about Finarfin and Finrod. Ah, the reverse order! Actually I have no strong preference on this--I thought Denethor's wording worked fine. But I had read several fanfic where Aragorn reversed the order, and I thought, well, there was no point going against the flow with this one. | |

| the King placed his hands on the Steward’s shoulder and kissed his forehead, as a father would his son, or an elder brother his younger. *happy sigh* Thank you for this wonderful tale. Author Reply: Thank you! I added the epilogue after I sent the draft to you. I'm glad you like it. | |
