| Oh, this is so sweet and lovely and...Bother, I don't know the word. Is Quenya more expressive than English? :) Sam smiled as he fingered the elegant writing. "No, dear, it wasn’t a dream," he murmured. "I’ll wait for you, but I’ll be making you breakfast. It’s been far too long since I’ve been able to do that." Awww, that is precious. Heehee! Frodo should have known that would be Sam's reaction! Small hands drew him into an embrace and the younger hobbit wept for his former master in his brother’s arms. Frodo held him for a long time, stroked his curls and murmured what comforts he could. "It’s all right, my Sam, it’s all right. Ilya vanima." *hugs them both* Oh, poor Sam never really grieved for Bilbo before, and now it's comming out. I'm so glad Frodo can comfort him. Again, another proof that he has really and truly healed. Frodo smiled at the firm tone and stubborn stance. Sam had crossed his arms and planted his feet slightly apart as he did whenever he wanted to out-stubborn a particular Baggins, which made that particular Baggins rise to the challenge. "You let me make it for you yesterday." Oh, I just adore this whole scene and laughed with joy to see them once more arguing in that loving way! Really, those are the best arguments to have, even when you lose--which I *always* do! :) They sat quietly for a long while. When Gandalf entered later, he saw from the light outside that Frodo had fallen asleep, his head resting in Sam’s lap, a large smile on his lips. Sam was slowly stroking his brother’s back, a look of joy and tender love shining from his face. Both hobbits were glowing from within. The Maia smiled that at long last these two like souls had been finally reunited. I love seeing Frodo beginning to teach Sam of Iluvatar's love and grace, and the scene at the end with Gandalf is just so tender and beautiful and gentle. Keep it coming, mell nin, it just gets better! God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Wow! What a review! And thanks for liking the part with Gandalf and the hobbity love there, esp. I hope also there are more 'arguments' coming! :) Namarie, God bless, Antane | |

| Oh! Lovely! I love how Frodo explained Iluvitar to Sam and Sam's prayer. Its so easy to see where Tolkien would be going with that since we share his faith. (Well, I'm Christian, not Catholic, but it's nearly the same, and really encouraging) You pulled this off wonderfully! God bless, Ellie Author Reply: Hannon le, Elanor! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| Yes, the air there would be rich in that breath. | |

| Oh Antane, this is so beautiful and all the little homely touches, like Sam being comfortable to snore, make it perfect. Author Reply: He's in his brother's arms - what better place for both of them? :) Hannon le for your review! Namarie, God bless, Antane | |

| A wonderful reunion. Frodo and Sam are now both renewed and have full reason to rejoice. Author Reply: Hannon le, my dear Larner! I see you have your own reunion now and I can't wait to read it! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| YAY! Another story! I LOVE IT!!!! I hope to see many more adventures in that book, too! I almost cried, this was so happy! I love the different ways people write Sam and Frodo's reunion. You must have done alot of reserch on the Quenya parts. That was a very nice touch. God bless, Ellie Author Reply: Hantanyel, Elanor! I am so glad you enjoyed. Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |

| Oh, Antane! So much joy, so much wonder, so much love, and...it's all so palpable, as if I were there, experiencing these things or watching this surpassing joyous reunion! I have no idea why it is so exhilerating, but it is. Now I really feel as if I could sing (and dance and laugh and cry), and there's nothing for me to do with all this sudden adrenaline now except to be poetic. I love Galian! And him trying to calm Frodo down sufficiently for the Hobbit to remain on the dock until the ship arrived was a little reminiscent of certain discussions had between a certain delightful, loveable young Took and a certain affectionate Baggins or Brandybuck cousin. :) :) The teasing banter between elf and Hobbit was delightful! And oh, how I love the reunion of Frodo and Sam, so long awaited and anticipated! It couldn't possibly be better! I could tell you in detail everything I love, but I'd just be quoting everything right back to you. :) My favourite scenes, though, were at breakfast and at the very end, when the two are again sleeping side by side. I checked out CoE, and wow! you really did your research! If I could, I'd have reviewed this chapter entirely in Quenya, but I wanted to review now, and it will take a while to learn. Just wait, though. I'm going to fall to Sindarin as soon as ever I can. Anyway, I just love the gentle, brotherly teasing about winning and losing arguments--hmm, sounds familiar LOL--and the mingled Quenya and Westron was lovely. I can't wait to see Sam's reaction to finding out what that last phrase means! LOL! I'll warrant he'll pretend to have none of it, but he'll have to laugh at Frodo's returned mischief. I absolutely cannot wait for more! But now I'm off to write my song of joy while I'm bursting with it! Le hannon, mellon nin, le hannon for this wonderful, wonderful beginning! God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Wow, hantanyel, dearest! Namarie, God bless, Antane :) | |
