I forget where we left off in terms of "will Ravion know when they start out that Mellonin is female"--- but that's why I had Mellonin get suddenly shy about going to Ravion's table. Feel free to either bring Raefindan into the conversation or sidetrack him...

lmp-- fun stuff! How long is Ravion going to sit on Aeron, I wonder... Ravion's a stocky, solid fellow, and Aeron isn't!

And Ædegard-- ooooo, cranky!

I love it.

How about we toss the idea of trying to fool either Ravion or Aeron with Mellondu's disguise in her brother's clothes. It'll just be her way of travelling incognito, but the troop will know. Aeron can still threaten to spill the beans-- in a village, or wherever they are when he decides his sister should come too.

Dare I say these words? Poor Aeron!

Nah, just joking of course. I've thoroughly enjoyed it.

And speaking of Mellonin trying to fool the troop or whatever we decide, how exactly is Aeron going to get in the troop, if ye don't mind me askin'?

This has been absolutely great so far....

Cheers!

Aeron's travels... How about as "punishment" for stealing and as an opportunity to reform, Ravion puts Aeron to work for a day while they're preparing for the trip-- carry this, carry that, pack this, pack that. They'll keep a close eye on him, but there's still plenty of room for further mischief on Aeron's part. Then Aeron gets the idea to come along; heuses all his charm; much skepticism, huge debate...

Orual, what do you think?

That sounds great to me. I can't wait to get on the road, start developing the relationships between the characters...I think they'll be very complex and fun to write.

Speaking of relationships, just to clarify, my kind of weird, cryptic post was Ravion having one of those weird premonition feelings you get when you meet somebody you know will be a large part of your life, or at least a catalyst for some major turning point. You don't know how you know it, but you just do. Yeah, I know you're confused, but it's okay, so's Ravion.

Sorry, I'd do the research but I don't really have the time. Is this Faran falsely accused, or the real thief? Or is it Aeron? Help!

When Aeron was caught stealing the hat, he was asked for his name-- he said "Faran." He lied, of course, but in the intervening posts he was referred to as Faran til he finally admitted his real name.

Point-Of-View, I guess.

Speaking of Aeron, the hat, and his real name... who are these shadowy pursuers that he so fears? Could the fear of them give him added impetus to leave Minas Tirith as soon as possible? Even if it means agreeing to do what Ravion orders him to do? Is he frightened enough that Ravion could get a deal out of him-- say, Ravion's protection for Aeron's obedience?
