Bwhahahahahah! Oh, the newly posted chapters are just what I needed to read today after reading the latest chapter of Fiondil's "In Darkness Bound", which was a real tear-jerker. I love the humor of this tale, and the sweetness too. :) But now I'm wondering just who slapped Frodo. The song is full of implication, but really isn't THAT bad! (And now I'm wondering if Eomer is going to get slapped too!) Well done, Celeritas! Thank you so much for grins and giggles!

How clever of Lothiriel, jajajaja,just goes to show you who is the stronger ally (Eowyn) :)

Larner · 6 October 2011 · Chapter 67

Hmm. She does have a way with the lads, doesn't she? Heh!

Larner · 6 October 2011 · Chapter 66

It appears that the feelings of both Eomer and Faramir are being played upon most skillfully!

Larner · 6 October 2011 · Chapter 65

Suggestive, at least, if not outright bawdy!

Author's reply

Well, bawdy by hobbit standards, at least.

Rhyselle · 6 October 2011 · Chapter 65

Oh, my! What mayhem is ensuing! Vaire must be chortling like mad at her loom! :) I honestly can't say which part of this chapter is my favorite. I love it all! And my mind is trying to develop a melody to go with the "Postal Lass from Delving" song... Well done!

Author's reply

Thanks!! I figure Vaire must get bored from time to time and needs the diversion. :)

Took Sight in a Baggins, and Took charm in the resident Took. And a good beer in hand, apparently. Now, to see how they gain access to Aragorn's feet....

Author's reply

What Took Sight? Author Reply: Sorry, that was a ruder reply than it should have been... but really, there's no such thing as Took Sight in canon. If anything, it should be called Baggins sight since Frodo evinces more signs of it than Pippin ever did. :)

Larner · 5 October 2011 · Chapter 62

Ah, dear--he has rather put his foot right in it. And she has handily set him up to embarrass himself, hasn't she? Now he has a good deal of apologizing to do!

Author's reply

Yes, and he'll only make things worse...

Larner · 5 October 2011 · Chapter 61

Oh, dear--found hunting the hairpin by Galadriel herself! Not good.

Author's reply

Nope, not good at all...

Larner · 5 October 2011 · Chapter 60

Aha! So THIS is where the feathers come in, is it? And his feet are particularly ticklish, are they? Heh! Not fair, but fun!

Author's reply

Yes, and this isn't the first time Aragorn's had ticklish feet (although I did come up with the idea specifically for this tale).

AzureSkye · 5 October 2011 · Chapter 63

Peacock feathers....tickling.....missing hairpins....this is going to be pretty hilarious.

Author's reply

I hope it was!!

AzureSkye · 4 October 2011 · Chapter 60

Well, this should be entertaining! Merry, Pippin, and the Twins working together.....Aragorn has no chance. *Grin*

Author's reply

No, he really doesn't!

Larner · 4 October 2011 · Chapter 59

Oh, no--he can't have lost one of those! Poor guy! But the idea the whole court will be so drunk they won't remember this in the morning as anything more than an alcohol-induced dream is attractive, I'm sure!

Author's reply

Attractive, yes, but unfortunately not terribly likely.

Larner · 4 October 2011 · Chapter 58

Oh, but she's enjoying this mightily, it seems.

Author's reply

Of course she is!

Larner · 4 October 2011 · Chapter 57

This one had me laughing, which, considering the nasty cough I'm suffering and the pain in my ribs is uncomfortable. So, Pippin's not going to tell further on himself, and Frodo's premonitions are bugging him? Interesting. Poor Aragorn has no idea what he's in for! And how is the Khandis going to take this evening's entertainment, I wonder?

Author's reply

Oh, dear! Well, I'm sorry I made you feel uncomfortable, but happy you laughed!

Larner · 4 October 2011 · Chapter 56

An excellent strategy, and hopefully enough to draw the attention of the guests from the King and Steward's attire!

Author's reply

Probably not enough, though. *snicker*

Larner · 4 October 2011 · Chapter 55

This match indeed! And a match it shall be in more than one sense of the word!

Author's reply

Well, not necessarily at this point...

Larner · 4 October 2011 · Chapter 54

Well, he asked for it, and Eomer will have his comeuppance now, even if Faramir thinks to have second thoughts!

Author's reply

He did ask for it, and I think in the long run, he won't regret it!

AzureSkye · 3 October 2011 · Chapter 57

Peacock feathers? *grin*

Author's reply

Why not? *grin*

Larner · 2 October 2011 · Chapter 53

Saved! Poor Frodo--seeing his friend the King in such a state, even if just in a picture! Heh! Now, to see if Aragorn realizes that a certain Hobbit just outsmarted him!

Author's reply

I don't think Frodo is too fazed by the whole thing--and besides, he'll get to see him in person at the party! It's more the fact that Pippin went to all that trouble to get a record of it!

Larner · 2 October 2011 · Chapter 52

Now, that's an interesting request to make. It's going to be very interesting, this pub-crawling party that is planned for the evening. And love Frodo and Sam's fondness for one another, and Frodo's "permission" for Sam to reprove him--ONCE. Heh!

Author's reply

Yes, only once--we can't let Sam get too cocky now, can we?

Larner · 1 October 2011 · Chapter 51

Indeed, the perfect misdirection in this case. And Aragorn will never realize he's now memorialized for posterity in drag! Heh!

Author's reply

He might still figure it out, but it's too late now.

Larner · 1 October 2011 · Chapter 50

And so the baton is passed! Now, to see what happens next. And I'm certain Pippin will gladly treat his favorite cousin to that yard of beer when they get home!

Author's reply

I'm sure he will, once the inns get open again!

Larner · 1 October 2011 · Chapter 49

Misdirection? Now, to get Merry to carry the dratted picture!

Author's reply

That shouldn't be too hard...

Larner · 1 October 2011 · Chapter 48

Unless Pippin passes the baton, as it were, I suppose! At least he granted Pippin one means of keeping his prize!

Author's reply

Yup!
