Ah, to have such a connection! A good start to a long friendship and a most productive working relationship. And love how the star came back to Aragorn through Faramir's mercy.


(Although the Star of the Dunedain and the Elessar were two different tokens. Remember who it was who gave the Elessar brooch into his hand ere he and the Fellowship headed down the Anduin, the token of the love between him and she who would become Queen left in her grandmother's keeping in case he should come that way and need the strength embodied in that token to carry him through the final battles with Mordor.)

Author Reply: Yes, I know: he was wearing the Star at his shoulder (holding his mantle) and the Elessar beneath, on his breast as pure adornment. When the mantle fell back, the Elessar could be seen more clearly.

I'm glad you liked the piece, and the Star's journey. thank you!

Author Reply: I think I made the passage about the Elessar clearer: thank you so much!!

Oh Canafinwe, this is all I hoped it would be! You so beautifully captured the beginning friendship of two noble men. I cannot thank you enough. Your work is powerful.

What a marvelous and healing conversation. *applauds*

Your brother was a worthy man, Faramir, and you are no less worthy. In him I would have had a valiant Steward in war. In you, I see that I will find a wise Steward with whom to forge my peace.

That's perfect. I'm so impressed with your writing.

Author Reply: How sweet of you to say! Thank you. It was good to be able to have these two honour Boromir's memory amid all the rest.
