These are sweet glimpses into the beginnings of this wonderful friendship.

[kortirion]

Thank you! RL has made sure I've lagged behind with this challenge. but it was quite nice to construct a story in one go.

I suppose Halbarad grew a bit less chatty as time went on?
But a good cure for homesickness!

[kortirion]

I'm sure he did - think of him as in the Labrador puppy stage here. *g*

[ysilme]

How nice to see a good friendship starting there! I can well imagine how different everything was for Aragorn there! :o)

[kortirion]

Thank you - and welcome to the comm.

I'm sure there was some degree of culture shock, when your previous companion's are all 2,000+ years old... I'm sure 'playful' was on a different level.

It must have been such a difficult transition fr them all, really. But this seems a good way to help things along.

I feel rather sorry for Halbarad, tasked to talk as much as possible!

[kortirion]

I dare say he was introduced by his father with '...and he can talk for Anor!' which sealed the plan - make young Aragorn loosen up a bit! ~_^

[kortirion]

Thanks! I had an inkling of a much darker sequence originally, but I when I thought of going back to their beginnings, this seemed to work. :-)
