Hunter’s clothes are so much more comfortable,’ Rudi said, and Faramir laughed in complete accord. The Bolger fingered the collar of his snowy linen shirt and said, ‘I only wear fine clothes when I’m conducting business and I want to be taken seriously.’

‘You’re in good company,’ Farry said. ‘King Elessar follows much the same practice.’

Indeed. And you sound like Farry’s namesake also,


Only one “but” will I allow this night!’ Farry said in fair imitation of his father imitating Gandalf.
heehee.

Oh this is so sweet. And I never expected that Rudi and Laurel would become a couple.

I second that, please.
Take care

Author Reply: I'd so glad you enjoyed this brief interruption to the main story! In part, this story was written in response to a reader's request to see how Rudi and Laurel came to be a couple. They were originally introduced as a married couple in my stories at a point on the timeline when Farry and Goldi are newlyweds and Rudi and Laurel have been married about a decade or so. Of course, this story is set about twenty years before that happens! (I hope this explanation makes sense; I have a cat circling my chair like a shark and periodically biting my leg to remind me that it's past feeding time.)

It's difficult to resist a clowning head of escort, especially when someone seconds him!

Thanks so much for reading and stopping to leave an encouraging thought! I hope the studies are going well. (((hugs)))

‘To fairy-tale endings!’

Yes indeed! :)

Author Reply: I simply adore a happy ending! (This story partly came about because Dinossiel wanted to know how Rudi and Laurel met in the first place. I'm hoping it fits the role of a Valentine's story by featuring the early days of two future couples!)
