My Dear Bandobras  by Le Rouret 3 Review(s)
LamielReviewed Chapter: 44 on 9/18/2004
Oh, I do hope that Bandobras is not hurt by the snowstorms. Surely not, surely even you cannot be that cruel. No, I firmly believe that he and Gimli are holed up somewhere safe, and no doubt Gimli has cursed a streak that has shocked Bandy's mother into silence, but eventually they will make it back to Legolas safely. And in a way I am glad for the delay, because it shows that Legolas is strong and resilient enough to survive this tragedy without Bandobras' help. Though we will all be happy to have dear Bandy back again.

Hi!

By now I'm full of apprehension how this is goiung to continue and sincerely hope you do *not* plan to let anything happen to the Little One; I doubt that Legolas in his current state could survive this, at least this side of the sea. I know, not a happy story, but please - do not! I do not see how he could make it alive and well for another aoh about 100 years I think in Middle Earth, until Ellessar is dead and he will leave according to canon.

Anyway, this is a masterful letter as always, and it is sad to see Legolas so unhappy as he is. At least he is writing again, so it seems he is slowly healing. Great writing! Please continue!

Oh, please tell me that Bandobras and Gimli are not going to end up the season's second popsicle victims? Gimli and company are far more experienced travelers (rather more experienced in everything other than petting weanlings)than the Infant, and are wise enough to take supplies and equip themselves properly, so I'm trusting in the wisdom of elves and dwarves to see them through. But I'm still crossing my fingers. And I'm still peeved at Laustaire for not even thinking of her horse. Did she expect him to make it all the way to Mithlond eating snow and shivering for weeks?

I wish Legolas would rename that weanling and keep her for himself. Having been nickered to and kissed by a little palomino weanling I just discovered has been stabled next to my mare, I can tell you that nothing can bring a smile to a horse lover's face the way an affectionate foal can. It's hard to resist a lonely baby, too.

I did want to tell you how much I'm enjoying your work. This is a lovely time for me, to sit down to work (bah!), but still start each day with another letter from our friends. It brightens the entire day. Thank you for this ongoing treat :)
