| Many emotions on arrival at their first destination, and each proper to the character. Love the flashback to Frodo in Bag End proclaiming his own failure, refusing to admit that he had no more control over what he did than Freddy did at fleeing from the Black Riders. Now, to see to the greetings and the judgment. Rather glad Cado gets his judgement here rather than in Gondor. He'll begin seeing honor in acton among men now. Author Reply: Frodo will always (at least until he reaches the West)see his own failure at Mt. Doom as being the greatest of treachery, no matter how many reassurances he recieves. Yes, Cado is in for quite a surprise... | |

| Interesting to see their different reactions to finally arriving in Edoras. Cado can certainly be glad they 'only' attacked one of the Rohirrim. Still, I don't envy Éomer for having to judge them. As for Mosco, I trust you to find the perfect purpose for him. And Freddy ... his remembered conversation with Frodo left me wanting to shake some reason into Frodo. It is so sad that his own case is the only one he can't consider in the right way *sigh* Look forward to the first meeting between Éomer and the hobbits! Author Reply: Yes, I thought each of them would have a different reaction to arriving at their first destination. Cado is having the sorts of thoughts he *should* have had *before* he went along with his brother--but he is wising up. And Eomer will get all the facts before he does anything. I've not done much with Mosco so far, with such a large cast, but he will have some things that he will bring a contribution to. Frodo really has a blind spot when it comes to himself. And even when he admits it in his head, his heart doesn't believe it. Coming soon... | |
