And I thank you for your beta reading efforts, which I have initially forgotten to credit you for.
And what do you mean? Legolas and Aragorn were going out into the woods to do 'manly' things like shoot black squirrels. And then find a forest pool(TM) afterwards!
This is awesomely funny. Cannot list all of my favorite parts, I would end up cutting and pasting most of it. I am still, after having read it twice, really smitten with Aragorn being Man enough to admit, if only to himself, that he might have a use for that gweth-enhancement brochure.
And Galion: "Whom have you offended in the last Long-year, Sire?" I'm havng trouble remembering how people I have offended in the 24 hours right now.
Thank you!!!crowdaughterJuly 10 2008, 07:23:26 UTC
ROTFLMAO!!!
This is a wonderful birthday gift. And I especially love the end. Thus we learn how the ruin of the Elven realms through discord started... (and that whole "destroy the One Ring" mungo was only a clever plan of Gandalf and Radagast, cooked up to bring tem together again and stop this nonsense, at the cost of poor Sauron).
Especially loved the herbs add, Aragorn and Legolas sudden eagerness to practice their learned skills... and Galion's smugness about his spare key.:)
My lord, thank you for this wonderful gift. I love it!
After all those hilarious cartoons I thought it was about time I responded in kind. Not to mention how understanding you were about the first, long-ago reference to your work.

And a darn good thing, or else they'd have devolved to short-sheeting one another's beds and putting pudding pots on the tops of doors. It's a pity about Sauron, but at least Legolas and Aragorn had an excuse to spend more time together honing their 'wilderness skills.'

Knowing Thranduil, I'm sure Galion could have produced a very long list. And knowing Thranduil, I'm equally sure he was sincerely puzzled. ;)

Good point! Galion is such a wonderful foil for Thranduil. (My daughter plays that role in my life.)

Many happy returns of the day! :)
