The Ranger and the Hobbit  by Cairistiona 14 Review(s)

I hope you don't mind that these reviews are coming after the second reading - at least they will not frantically demand the next chapter =)

I can imagine the shock of both rangers when they discovered a human body on the trail, that must have been a really unpleasant surprise. Good that the Southron does not resemble Aragorn at all... And after recovering from this shock, they find the bloodstains, and these are not the Southron's this time... Being around Aragorn, one must have iron neves to absorb all the shocks that he prepares them... not that he would be doing it deliberately, but still. Anyways, good that they have his trail!

Author Reply: I don't mind at all when and how you leave your reviews--I'm very flattered you're giving this a second reading! That's praise enough right there!

You make very excellent points... it would take a lot of emotional stamina to keep up with all the shocks Aragorn metes out. Even from the age of two, he was wrenching at Halbarad's heart strings (if Halbarad is indeed older than Aragorn, as I imagine him to be), although that wasn't exactly his fault. But then he up and leaves for years and years as Thorongil, then he comes back only to disappear looking for Gollum... and I'm sure when he did return he likely had more scars and more grey hair, and that would have been very hard for a kinsman like Halbarad to take, I would imagine!

Thanks for the review and I'm glad you're enjoying the story another time around!

Well, I'm confident that Halbarad and Denlad will find Aragorn, given those expert tracking skills. But I'm still in suspense!

Oh, I so love Denlad. Please don't ever kill the poor guy off. And Halbarad is just as loyal as ever. *sighs happily*

Aragorn is very lucky that his friends care for him and will try to find him. I would not like to be in such a creepy place in the dark!

Bwahaha. Halbarad and Denlad. My day is complete. So glad they're in this story too!

Author Reply: Oooh, I made your day complete! Yay! Yes, Denlad and Halbarad feature in this as much as Aragorn and Ferdinand, so enjoy. :) Thanks for the review!

I was wondering if Halbarad would show up in this story. I should have known that no one would be able to keep him away. ;-) Halbarad really has good instincts where Aragorn is concerned. I wish I could tell Halbarad and Denlad that Aragorn has already been rescued... kind of. *g* I liked the refence to "At Hope's Edge" and I'm beginning to think being a ranger really wouldn't be good for my nerves, lol. I wouldn't want to have to worry about a Nazgul or something just as nasty and dangerous leaping at me from any shadows. *shiver* Somehow I think Halbarad and Denlad will be quite surprised when they finally find their missing chieftain - pleasantly suprised, I hope, if a certain author doesn't have other plans. Loved it! :D

Author Reply: Me? Have other plans? *blinks innocently* Why ever would you think I had other plans?

Ahem. Thanks for the review! Yes, Halbarad had to show up... at this point in their lives, they were likely all by joined at the hip. And where Halbarad shows up, so does Denlad, even if he does have to twist Halbarad's arm a bit. *g* And no, my nerves couldn't take being a Ranger, either, I don't think. Glad you enjoyed this! Thanks again!

This is great! Your writing style is excellent, and the story is very interesting and tense; while reading, I feel like watching a great thriller movie. I'm looking forward for more. :)

Author Reply: Thank you! I like knowing that my stories are vivid enough to feel almost like movies... that's the kind of story I enjoy reading, so to hear it from others about my own is very encouraging! Thanks again!

*blinks, looks up* Where is the rest? o-o *mutters about evil authors* ;)

Yay! More rangers, woot woot! :D Awesome job, can't wait for more!

I believe you mean Sticklebacks, a kind of fish, found in streams in England.
No reason why Aragorn couldn't have met up with another Hobbit!
More please,
Lynda

Author Reply: Ah, thank you... I'll get that fixed next spare moment. :)

I'm glad you're enjoying this enough to want more! Always encouraging to hear. Thanks for the review and the correction!

Oh dear, Aragorn's friends are so worried, and with good cause! But I can imagine how surprised they will be to find he's been rescued already-- by a hobbit!

I'm looking forward to the encounter. *grin*

Author Reply: I'm sure they'll be very mystified by a hobbit out in the wild! Thanks for the review!

I like quick updates ^^ It's wonderful to see these two characters again- they were definitely my two fave Rangers of your group.

Hmm, I don't have much to say because I feel rather boring today, but... yea. Obviously await for more.

Author Reply: LOL... you may feel boring but your review isn't. I'm glad you liked this chapter and were glad to see Halbarad and Denlad's return. I was kinda glad to see them, too, and I bet Aragorn will *really* be glad.

This is another story that's finished... so the updates will be fairly regular. Next one hopefully comes Monday. :) Thanks for the review!
