That's a nice little story..., I liked how Aragorn made the best of a difficult situation by remembering Erestors lesson - and even more I liked your description of Erestor through Estels eyes. I would like to read more about him and young Estel from you.

That was a great short!  I love young Aragorn stories, especially with Glorfindel and/or Erestor...and this one had both!

Such a good gift for my birthday this was, even if I did have to beta it! *g*  You captured Aragorn's stoicism well... he may not have much, but he's grateful for what he does have.  And of course, the glimpse into how he might have learned his woodsman skills from Erestor is such a treat.  I enjoyed beta'ing this and I enjoyed reading this again just now.  Thanks for the gift!
