trixie – very glad you enjoyed this moment. I love the fact that Faramir is so self-assured that he can laugh at himself. Blessings!

blushes It’s truly a wonderful feeling when one can take a moment that is not fun and make it delightful for ‘our’ Man of Gondor. Thank you, Geale, for your kind comments. Blessings!

Anastassiya – forgive the delay in answering your kind comments. They were truly well-received and appreciated! I do so love finding moments when the Men of Gondor can be free…. Blessings!

How nice to see Faramir actually laughing during this time. He is usually portrayed as completely angst_ridden during the months of Boromir’s absence. He surely at least cracked a smile in nearly eight months!

There is much leeway in portraying Denethor based on what Tolkien wrote, but I didn’t read any indication that he hated his younger son. PJ elected to turn Denethor into a caricature rather than a character.

What a great idea for a story – I don’t think I ever read about paper chasing before. I loved it, it was very refreshing! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, this story was truly comic and light. You make me smile. And I so like Denethor here!!! And I also believe that he loved Faramir very much…
