While on the Quest  by Grey Wonderer 10 Review(s)
GamgeeFestReviewed Chapter: 3 on 4/5/2008
It was admirable of Frodo to try to take the blame, but Legolas's solution was the best - and he can back it up with his quiver of arrows! ;) This is one conversation that won't be coming up again, at least for a while. After the quest, I'm sure they'll all look back on this and have a good laugh, as I did reading it. That Merry! :D

Author Reply: The Elves have lots of experience dealing with trouble-makers and I think Legolas finally figured out exactly what it would take to get Merry off of the subject. hehehe Thank you for reviewing and I'm glad you got a laugh out of it!

*giggles* You can write funny stories out of every subject, canīt you? Love it!

Author Reply: So glad you enjoyed it! I love it when people giggle at these.

Oh my! That was great! I don't suppose elves would snore? I like that Merry was concerned with it, and Boromir offended by. Funny how no one thinks they snore. Thank you for the laugh!

Author Reply: I can't imagine Elves snoring or doing anything that is less than perfect. LOL It would seem that Legolas can't imagine that either. Thanks for the review and I'm very glad you enjoyed this one.

You gave me my laughter for the day! Can't wait for the next installment. *giggling*

Author Reply: I love being the bringer of laughter. Hope you had a great day! Keep smiling.

LOL, I don't know how you do it, except with sheer talent, but your comic tales are always hilarious! Oh, the come-backs from Merry to Pippin in this one were *priceless*!

Pippin said smugly. "He makes this little snuffing sound just at the end of his snores as if someone is pinching his nose shut."

"I am considering pinching your mouth shut," Merry muttered.



I just love the Merry & Pippin banter, and trailing it by a hair's breadth is Frodo & Merry banter.

And all of the ruckus over snoring! Only you could take such a minor thing and have your hobbits blow it up and make something major out of it. Just fabulour and absolutley funny, GW!


Author Reply: Thank you! Whenever I write them Merry and Pippin seem to come off as a stand-up team at times. hehehe

So very glad you enjoyed this. I will be calling you before long so we can set up something. Maybe the weather will cooperate.

Tattoo!

How diplomatic of Legolas! What a clever way to weasel his way out of saying who was actually snoring. LOL

MEWD, GW!!

Author Reply: Elves have had years to perfect their diplomatic skills. hehehe In this case I do think Legolas was very grateful for that. Thanks for the lovely review!

Ah--so Legolas was being as diplomatic as possible while protecting himself from Gandalf's possible ire; and Frodo was willing to sacrifice his own dignity to stop the discussion. Bless both Elf and eldest Hobbit! Wonderful!

Author Reply: Yes, the Elf and the eldest Hobbit had to work very hard in the face of all of the madness they were traveling with. Makes you wonder if perhaps Lord Elrond should have just sent Frodo, Sam and Legolas on the Quest. Maybe nine was too many?

*giggle* I remember this from LJ! Did I tell you how much I loved Legolas being so "diplomatic"? You have such a way with banter! I also loved Merry's stubbornness, and Frodo's attempt to take the blame--which would have been fine if it had worked, but Merry just wouldn't take the hint! LOL!

Author Reply: Merry was determined that someone own up to having cost him a night's sleep. Good thing Legolas was able to take care of things. Glad you enjoyed it!

*snicker* They're always arguing about something, aren't they? Legolas was very diplomatic about that all. And Merry did snore, too? What was the saying about glasshouses and throwing stones? ;-)

Thanks for the laugh!

Author Reply: Our own snoring never seems to be a problem does it? LOL I guess Merry was fine with his own nightly noises but not too keen on the snores of others. As one of the firstborn, Legolas must have had some very trying times while traveling among mortals. Thanks for reading and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
