What a lovely little loose thread to tie up so well, in the way of men. A little wine allows them to show a deep emotion and feeling. Thank you for writing ErinRua such a nice birthday gift and sharing it with all of us. Happy Birthday, ErinRua!

;) Yep, sometime guys need a little oil to grease those emotional wheels (at least the guys I know). Thanks for reading it and taking the time to comment.

What a marvelous piece of writing. You've shown the customs very well and what a wonderful gift, even if Eomer was dubious about the reception. You must know horses, what a nice touch that the horse recognized the similarities in Boromir and Faramir's voices. Nice bit of bonding between the men as well.

Hi, Lasse-Lanta. Thanks for your kind review. I actually don't know horses very well, but I had just gotten back from a week at a ranch, so I had horses on the brain. I thought the voice recognition thing was a plausible thing, since horses seem to be very intelligent. So far nobody has told me, "No way..." :)

Lovely!:)
What a wonderful way to tie up a little loose end, and put a new stroke on the friendship of these men! I really enjoyed that, thank you for sharing it with us.

On a further note, I believe the singular of Rohirrim can be either Rochir or Rohir. I say this because I had a story with a Gondorian man named Rochmir, and was told his name could be spelled Rohmir if I wished it.

That was a touching story. I think Balarof is quite the appropriate gift for Faramir.

Thanks so much. I especially appreciate that coming from you. I have read some of your fine work and know that the Mark is home territory for you.

Awww...brotherly bonding fluff. I love it.
Just a small grammatical note--the singular of Rohirrim (Rochirrim) is Rohir or Rochir. Thought you might like to know!

I *did* want to know -- thanks! Fixed now. I don't play around in the Mark very often, so I wouldn't have caught that. Glad you liked the fluff-stuff. ;)

When the horse heard Faramir's voice, it seemed to look at them for the first time.
A read the first few chapters of 'Boon' this morning and I had a feeling where you were going with this. Very nice, Flick. Nice weaving together and the horse looking up like that. I felt it. Lindorien

Thanks, Lindorien. I thought it was fair to imply that he would have recognized the similarities in voices without making him seem *too* implausibly unhorsey. :)

Nice story! Very credible atmosphere of Rohirric hospitality and customs. And Eomer's a sentimental softy under that cute macho veneer. Either that, or he wanted a good home and use for the horse. Maybe both.

:whew: glad it seemed that way. Rohan is somewhat foreign territory for me (I'm usually strictly a Gondor girl).

I've always thought Eomer had a heart of mush under all that hunkiness. ;)

So I'm guessing Faramir's voice must be like Boromir's. What a wonderful gift. Very Rohirric. It's good for the man and good for the horse.

Yep, I thought that was plausible. What I really think in my heart of hearts is that Bal felt guilty, like he had failed Boromir in some way. But I was writing this for a horse-person and didn't want to make it too unrealistic.
Very Rohirric. It's good for the man and good for the horse.
Yay! Glad it seemed like something one of the Rohirrim would do. I also had in my mind that Eomer wanted the connection between Theodred and Boromir to go on in his relationship with Faramir. For a Rohir, what better way that through a horse? :)
