· Chapter 2: (Not to) Let Sleeping Kings Lie
Go for it Sam! But not the brightest thing you have done - to stand within knife reach of a sleeping ranger! *g* I loved your 'peeping Pippin'! And the paragraph describing all Strider's judgements, meetings and feasting was great. No wonder the man is tired and wants some solitude - and not just to ponder a man's fate.

Um, well he wasn't exactly standing; it was his push on the door that put him in danger's way. Good thing Elessar's reflexes are good, even when he's tired!
Thanks!

Wonderfully begun! I enjoy seeing Sam growing and tackling challenges. "all the good it will do" indeed. It will be interesting to see what you have Sam say. Do go on!

Thanks! Sam's got it all clear in his mind, but expressing it in a satisfactory way is going to require him to marshal all his forces. (And he's been up all night. Not a good foundation for clear thinking.)

And we do take his meaning, beloved gardener, counselor, and keeper of hearts.
Aragorn will heed the advice of this one, I think.
Author's reply
I certainly hope he heeds. Just need to get his attention, I think.

Now here we have Sam taking something very seriously. It doesn't come naturally to him to assert himself as a Ringbearer and over-rule others, but he will do it if he has to.
For all the good it will do.

Poor Sam, that last bit sounds so ominous and fateful.
But he's a stubborn hobbit, and even though the right words don't necessarily come clear, at least they come somehow.

Yeh! Brilliant! Yes, YEs, YES you got it here, and very quickly too! *Manic grin for a wonderful story*
Author's reply
LOL, yes, thought I'd strike while the iron's hot! (Besides, this story is about all I've been working on the past week... now if I can only budge "Thain" from its rut...)

This is shaping up to be an interesting tale, Lindelea. I've always been a fan of Sam-centric fics, and I have a feeling this is going to be a good one. Sam has never been one to see an injustice done to anyone - man or hobbit - and knowing what lies in store for Beregond (death or exile), he is bound to try and convince Elessar that death is NOT the answer.
Looking forward to the next chapter...

Thanks! Let me know if it lives up to your expectations! *g*
Sam does seem to be the type who would see the basic truths of a situation and would discount all the ceremonial trappings obscuring matters. Plain good sense, that's what's needed here.
