Wow! It took me a surprisingly long time to figure out it was Boromir...even when I learned their ages. That said, would Faramir really talk and talk at four? I have read many stories where he is born quiet. I suppose his mother's death would be the real damper though. After I realized it was Boromir (Elboron was a likely guess, or even Faramir) the story was very humorous. Yet perhaps some of the things did not seem to be how Boromir would act or talk. I am assuming your inspiration was bruising your hand not punching someone down.

This was a very interesting piece, which I'm rather glad I stumbled upon! I shall have to read further into your work, since even this small glimpse has intrigued me quite some bit about the OCs, and the social tensions between the classes and lineages that you've set up... Thank you for sharing this! SilverMoonLady

Ah, Soledad - I very much like your heroic and classy young Boromir! This is the Boromir of the books, I think - noble and proud. He would not allow such a slight to a friend - and how wonderful to think such traits were present in his youth. To stand up to an older child for a slur against another shows the making of a ruler's son.

What a nice glimpse of Boromir. You can see the man he will become some day in his strength and loyalty and sense of justice.

Thank you for this insightful story. It's not very often we get Boromir tales that aren't about coming back from the dead, or slash, or traveling with the fellowship (not that I have anything against those). I quite enjoy stories of the Hurin brothers in their youth, so this is refreshing and I sincerely hope to see more of this. Your imagery is well-realized, your characters, as well.
