I am glad the two of them had this evening together, and that it appears they will all come to see Boromir in his glade. He will need their support, I think.

Author Reply: He definitely will need all the support he can get, and Faramir is more than willing to give it. He'll bring the entire army of Gondor, if need be!

Thanks for reading and commenting. Most appreciated.

Now he has problems accepting his father's death. At least Faramir now knows he's still alive in spite of all.

Author Reply: Yikes! I must not have written this well enough. Yes, Boromir was saddened by Denethor's death, but his sorrow was mostly for the horror Faramir went through. That's why Boromir kept saying, I'm sorry.

Thanks for commenting. I hope this clears it up. *bangs head against wall*

Losing Frodo’s friendship was the worst. He is a fair and noble Hobbit.”

“You have not lost his friendship. You have his love.


If only Frodo could visit him here! That would be such a healing for both of them. I'm enjoying this story very much.

Author Reply: *does happy dance* So very glad you're enjoying this story. I'm enjoying writing it (most times).

The time frame just won't work. I've tried to figure a way for Frodo to visit, but the wedding is soon, and then the all leave for Edoras to bury Theoden. :(

But we might see something since you were so kind to comment *g*

Bless you!

I'm so glad the two brothers got to see one another. Hope there are more visits and who else will show up? Enquiring minds want to know. *grin*

Author Reply: Since I often muse about what's going to happen next in your tales, it's fun to have the show on the other foot! *g*

Still reading and enjoying your tales. Bless you for sharing them.

Thank you for commenting. Most appreciated.

The sight of Boromir dancing is something I would love to see. What a hoot! LOL

Author Reply: Thanks, Tari. I'd give my right (and left) arm to see such a sight. Glad you enjoyed the thought of it.

And glad you reviewed. Thank you ever so much!

I am glad that Faramir finally made it to Edhellond to meet with Boromir, but of course it isn't a completely happy reunion. Poor Boromir. I wonder what he'll do next, or Faramir.

Author Reply: Boromir believes he has no decisions to make, but Faramir will not sit idly by. Do you blame him!

The story really started on a light note, but the dealings of Men, like Elves, are not always happy.

So glad you commented. Most appreciated.

He made you Steward? I am glad. I knew he had some wisdom in him.

A wonderfully light moment amid so much emotion and grief. A bittersweet reunion indeed.

Author Reply: I really tried to keep this as light as possible, but Boromir would not be fooled if Faramir did not mention their father.

I did so like Boromir's quip about Aragorn. Glad you did, too.

Thanks ever so much for commenting. You know it is appreciated.

Ah, poor Boromir. The Elves are leaving. What will he do when they all leave or fade and he's left alone in Edhellond? Another lovely chapter, Agape. I hope Boromir finds some peace for himself.

Author Reply: Boromir is not a stupid man. He can see the forest for the trees. *g*

There is a choice, but it is not a fun run.

As for peace, if he could just see his brother one more time.

Bless you for commenting in the midst of your own busy writing schedule. Most appreciated.

PS - really enjoying Elf Academy.

A good thing that he finds he can dance. But as more of those who have dwelt here leave Middle Earth, he will find himself increasingly confined, I fear.

Author Reply: I think of the Russian dancers as my inspiration, with the slapping of their boot and their thighs, their twirls and kicks. Tolkien shows the people of Gondor to be musical. I believe the sons of their Steward would be, as well.

Dancing won't help his sense of isolation. :(

Bkess you for commenting. I'm trying to catch up on your rings tale.

LarnerReviewed Chapter: 3 on 6/29/2012
A sad thing, to realize he is confined so far away from his beloved brother. And I'm glad they realize Frodo must have survived. I hope to see the meeting between the brothers and the sharing of news on what happened.

Author Reply: Frodo is ever on Boromur's mind for he knows he did the Hobbit wrong and his sense of honor is damaged because of it.

As for Faramir, Edhellond is not that far if a message can get through.

Thanks ever so much for your comments. They are greatly appreciated.
