Gandalf said exactly what I was thinking when Aragorn told him about his men reaching the end of their strength. "I'm fine." Of course, and the Mouth of Sauron was hired to advertise a toothpaste!

Author's Response: LOL!!  That's a good line!  And yes, I think everyone from Gandalf to the reader and certainly me let out a big loud disbelieving snort.   Poor Aragorn, he's really in a state, isn't he!  Thanks for the review!

"I am fine?" If he really meant to convince Gandalf, he should not have used that particular phrase. Everyone in Middle Earth knows that one should not trust the "I am fine" line. Silly ranger. And please, someone finally knock some sense into him!!

Author's Response: LOL... yes, Aragorn definitely needs some sense knocked into him.  And he needs someone to forbid him ever using "fine" again!

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! :)
