Oh Blast! I almost want to smack Aragorn for being so bull headed! I liked the images of his old room, the contrasts of it and the world outside of Rivendell. I loved seeing Aragorn's reaction when he hears Halbarad will be alright. His worry for his friend is incredibly endearing, and you've shown how much he truly cares for his friend. I love your Gandalf too! So very glad to see you include him! YAY!!!! "does a happy dance" Oh, I do hope Gandalf gets through to Aragorn somehow, but I can sense more wonderfully written angst on the horizon. :-)
Author's Response: Thanks, Roisin! I'm glad you liked this chapter and all it's angsty moments. Aragorn's really having a time of it, and yes, being incredibly stubborn. But you know, it's very hard to fool an Istari for long. And yes, the friendship between Aragorn and Halbarad goes very deep, I think; probably even deeper than between brothers. So yeah, his relief is huge! Thanks for the review and enjoy the upcoming events! :) |
