less... green... goo...

Immy the sleeve thing is OK as it is now. (He really would have learned to snort, though. Wearing drizzle is the pits. )

The pneumonia is fine (Hope you're up for a passenger, Gond!) but... yeah, I think the graphic cold symptom discussions are a bit beyond what Tolkien would have done. Especially (at the end of post 236) the bit about Jorje licking up Raefindan's sneeze. Eeeuuugh. I'd put the book down and walk away at that point. Can we lose it? (Please?)

Um-- the limping... I didn't have a lot of plans, just vague thoughts about blisters perhaps or sore muscles. The hip thing is fine by me. Plot twists, we like plot twists.

I wonder how Ravion will handle it? I have a vision of Raefindan draped over Gond's back, limp arms and legs dangling. Poor Raefindan. Poor Gond.
