“It seems we get twice as much work done when we take some time away from it.”

So often true! And thank you for reminding me about the healing potential of garlic. I forgot all about it.

Thank you. I believe garlic is very good for you.

Most delightful! I love the King and the Steward getting chased off by an old coot with a stick. Nice work interweaving the quotes from the prompt!

Thank you so much. The quotes were quite a challenge!

This is nice. I could use an Aragorn myself!

Thank you so much.I think we all need Aragorn!

In point form this time *lol* amethyst_witch March 30 2019, 16:30:53 UTC

- “Indeed. The Ambassadors from Rohan and Dale detest each other,” Aragorn signed. “Apparently the Ambassador from Dale insulted the Ambassador Leofric's horse! They have not spoken since.”

*LOL*!!

- Ohh when someone likens you to Grima...that is NOT a compliment!!

- Faramir woke again with an aching heart. Boromir had been gone for years now but he still missed his brother. He tried to think of how peaceful his brother had looked when he last saw him and how Aragorn had become both father and brother to him.

What a beautiful scene. Poor Faramir <3

- Aragorn smiled fondly at the younger man he regarded as a son. “You still need to learn you do not have to push yourself to the limits night and day,” he said. “We all fear failure.”

“Even you?”

“Even I.”

I can't tell you how much this spoke to me. (And comforted me.)

-- I laughed SO hard at the little twist at the end with Faramir finally coming up with the seating plan and then Aragorn's like,

"Yeaaah...new people are coming. Scrap that."

XD

GREAT story, Linda ^_^
