| Than you for the reply. It makes more sense now I understand the references. Eokat. | |

| HI, I have already reviewed this on FF.N but the plus side of this superb site is that I can ask a direct question and the wherewithal to answer is just the touch of a button. What did the phrase, "Nay, Lady, but it is deformed, and the glassmaker must mold it anew" mean exactly? I would judge it to be a sexual reference, due to the reaction of the others present. Please put my numb brain out of its misery. Still a superb story, am loving it more and more. Eokat. Author Reply: LOL! Er, no, not sexual at all. I don't know how familiar you are with glassblowing--if you haven't gotten a chance to watch that process, I suggest you do sometime. It's fascinating. Anyway, glass is heated to really, really high temperatures when it's being molded. It's actually quite pliable then, but if you were to touch it, not only would you get a nasty burn, you'd mess it up too. Then the glassblower would have to start over again. Éomer's comment was actually a rebuke or an insult--when Lothíriel is angry, she makes these comments rather unflattering comments, and it's not becoming at all. That's what he meant by it, that she ruins her beauty by saying hurtful things. Hope that makes more sense. :) | |

| So the game really is afoot! I liked the way Aragorn wanted to hold the baby. He's getting ready to be a father himself. And the repartee between Eomer and Lothiriel was just suggestive enough to raise some heat but not enough to be vulgar. The conspiracy of everyone against them is highly entertaining. Author Reply: Heehee, one of my favorite scenes in Much Ado is the one where Don Pedro suggests the matchmaking scheme--the scene from which this story's title comes, actually. And yes, Aragorn's ready for a baby of his own! I actually have another little vignette here that touches on that briefly. It's called "That He Might Be Free", and while it's primarily about Faramir and his newborn son, Aragorn shows up and is simply scrumptious. ;) | |
