| O clever Estel, putting two and two together: Erestor's mention and this Man's repetition of the term. Even though he's telling mostly truth, he's not very credible, poor lad. But others can confirm his story, so there's that. (But hmmm. Are Dúnedain youth in the habit of running away? That sounds... odd somehow. Still, I'm sure it takes all kinds to make a world. That said, I'm actually a little surprised that the Ranger gives his real name on such short acquaintance. Perhaps he's hoping the lad has heard of him and might be more inclined to tell him the *real* story?) Excellent dialogue. Very believable. And I love the motto, "Rangers take care of their own." I thought maybe Estel had jumped from frying pan into the fire, but the last part is making me rethink that impression... Author Reply: Thank you! I love writing dialogue…. I suspect Dunedain children are like other children - some would likely yearn for adventure that their hard existence doesn’t provide, and some might steal away to hunt for it. Probably working for a Hobbit isn’t what they would have in mind, but I guess you take what you can get. If Estel really was a runaway Dunedain boy, that is… Thx so much for all your lovely comments! | |
