Hello!  I'm done with finals, so I finally have time to catch up on one of my favorite stories.  I have to say, it's impressive how much of this story has stayed with me.  Reading this chap takes me right back into that world, as if I'd just read the first twelve chapters yesterday.  That can only be due to the vividness of your writing.

This chap was lovely.  Poor Aragorn needs a hug and a three week vacation.  I love the character development for Denlad.  It was funny and poignant at the same time.  His awkwardness is adorable and makes a lot of sense; his lifestyle doesn't lend itself to learning much about women.  Neala continues to be awesome.

The little scene with Bronadui was great.  The horse is a character in his own right, which is something you rarely see outside of the "magical animal friend" cliche. 

Oh, dear.  Aragorn knows he needs to go home, but puts it off to avoid the inevitable awkwardness.  Something tells me that won't end well, particularly given the mental acrobatics he went through to convince himself he hadn't been touched by the blade.

Thanks for another lovely chapter.  I look forward to catching up.

p.s.  Thank you so much for the MEFA nomination!

I really lked this chapter, it had a lttle bit of everything; some suspense, some mystery, some drama, and even some fun! Again, I really love your OCs, and I loved the glimpse into Denlad's life too. I like the attraction between Denlad and Neala. This is really great, you played it out well. It satisfied the romantic in me. :-) But I got some god suspense and mystery out of it too. I do hope Aragorn gets help for that bruise. Something about that gives me the heebie jeebies, and I worry for him.

I'm loving this story. Eli is too. Seriously, I would pay money for this if it was a book at the bookstore. I love it. I love your Aragorn so much!

Keep up the wonderful work, this story is so amazing. It as something for everyone. And I LOVE that i can connect to your characters.
