| What a remarkable amount of guards for one orc! Aragorn really isn't going to take any chances. The fact that he decided to wait a month before passing judgement suggests that Aragorn wanted to be fair, yet he didn't speak to Canohando until Arwen pushed him into it, and still hasn't called him by name. I suppose fairness is warring with attitudes developed over a lifetime. Author Reply: You're right - Aragorn has never known orcs to be anything other than treacherous, sadistic, and utterly given to evil. Even when Frodo reported that a few of them had turned from the Dark, Aragorn suspected some deception by the orcs. Now Canohando shows up and the first thing he does is spill blood - it's hard for Aragorn to see beyond that. I think it's actually more surprising that Arwen sees at once what Canohando really is. | |

| Another very good chapter! I like it that you are not having Aragorn give in to Arwen right away, or all at once. It makes it more real that way. That was an interesting idea, putting him in the old nursery at the palace!:) I look forward to the next chapter!:) Thanks! Namarië, ~Lossenchristal Author Reply: Thank you, Lossenchristal! The nursery was an obvius choice, with the barred windows - but Arwen shows such tenderness toward, Canohando: at some unconscious level, almost as if she wanted to "mother" him... | |
