That last scene.....!!! It's the first one I thought of when I started planning this series (the second one is still coming) and oh, I just had to write the whole series just to get there. So I'm really delighted it hit you hard. :)

Poor Théoden is still clueless about Aragorn – the only one in the fellowship now, no?

I think he is pretty much the last! I imagine he took in stride and just laughed when he found out...

Mmmm, movie!Aragorn is so fun to write! His doubts and hesitations come...really easily, I have to say. :)

*hugs* Your comments make me so happy!
