ROFTL. I love the dynamics between Aragorn and Halbarad. Okay, scratch that - I mean the dynamics between all the men. Seems Aragorn was right in his assumption that they planned this little mutiny for his own good. Of course, it must feel to him like its undermining his authority, but it's like they say in the commercial: A friend who'll tell you you're acting stupid? Priceless!
Author's Response: LOL ... so true! And ARagorn is acting stupid there, isn't he? Halbarad is definitely the one that can get away with a little insubordination in the name of straightening out Aragorn's wooly-brained actions, but the other men are nearly as able, even if they have to do it with a bit more discretion (aka, hiding behind Halbarad!). These men are tight-knit, Aragorn's best, and they have a little more leeway with their leader than most others would. Glad you liked the dynamics here... that's at the heart of this story, the relationships between the characters. I'm glad it's working for you. Thanks for the review! |

A very nice chapter, but I have the feeling that the light-hearted tune foretells troubles in near future... Your Halbarad is very agreeable, I like that guy!
Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you like my take on Halbarad... he's definitely a stalwart friend, if a little heavy-handed as a healer. ;) Thanks for the review! |

Roisin and I both had a good laugh over the horse balm. This was ratherhumorous. Roisin says she feels sorry for Aragorn but is glad the bugs won't bite him for awhile. I have to say Aragorn reminds me of a couple of my patients.
Author's Response: hee hee! I'm glad you enjoyed that bit. I felt like the story needed some light moments. And Halbarad, well, he's Halbarad, what can I say. He has his hands full with Aragorn and his stubbornness. I think in a way the horse balm may have been him getting even a bit for all the vexation Aragorn causes him. *grin* Thanks for the review! |

I loved this chap, especially the first part. Poor Aragorn. Talk about the treatment being worse than the disease :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Brennan! Glad you liked this one ... a bit of a lighthearted moment and yes, you have to wonder if the treatment wasn't worse than the ailment! Halbarad will never gain fame as a healer at this rate. ;) Thanks for the review! |
