I brought Aeron and Ravion to the evening that the others eat supper with Mellonin's family.

This should fix any time incontinuities, right?

Yes, Immy, that evens us up.

Thanks so much. Great post too, by the way. Aeron is on his way to becoming a man...well done!

Just wanted to give an advance warning: I will be going on a trip to Costa Rica on Monday, June 26th and won't return until late on July 6th (I think that's a Thursday?). There will be no posts from me during that time because I will be having fun in the sun, looking at three-toed sloths, and traversing the canopies (yesss!).

Hopefully I can get one or two more posts in before then.

Aylwen, that sounds so fun! I hope you have a great time!

I had planned on getting a dinner post up tonight, but I have something on my mind and I just can't pull it off tonight. So if anyone else is itching, feel free to get dinner going or tales or songs or whatever moves you.

Let's see, today is Wednesday (amazing grasp of the obvious, you say?), I would like have the current night completed by this weekend and the morning started. Is that doable? Am I asking too much?

I just know there's going to be quite a bit happen before they all leave Minas Tirith, and I want us to have time to do it all.

That reminds me...what do you all want to do with the women? Should Mellonin have a dream and sleepwalk? But if that happens, how will Leafa and Bella know she is gone? Will the women stay together? Or will something else happen?

Ideas? Suggestions?

In my post the group has dinner, talks for a while, and is quickly shooed out by Mellondu. Hope it's okay...if not I'll revise as requested.

I can't see Mellonin going to Leafa and Bella and saying "I had this dream, come with me." I can see her going off on her own. Maybe they should each have their own dream? That would have to be one big coincidence though...I don't know.

Be back July sixth!

Aylwen, I thought your post was just right, and thanks for moving on and through the dinner.

I hope you have a blast on vacation!

Mowing is a great time to think, and while I mowed this evening I had a couple of concerns came to mind.

The women will have to be told that they are not going on the next half of the quest. I know Bellyn believes she is going, but what of Leafa? I know Leafa is originally from Rohan, even though her family has gone the wayfaring way. I also know that Bella lives in Rohan currently. Without thinking of what has been planned for the ladies to go a different way...how would they get home? I mean, the men are leaving them stranded in Gondor and their money would last only so long for the inn. Would Mellonin's parents take them in temporarily? That would mean sleeping on the floor, or do we need someone in the inn to meet and take a liking to the girls and offer them a place?

If a place with Mellonin was offered, that would leave room for Mellonin to sleepwalk and the girls to look for her, thinking she'd not gone far and then find themselves off toward the mountains. Another idea would be to have them staying with someone who lived closer to Mellonin than the inn and then have a dream come to Bella or Leafa (or even a possible visitation of Gwyllion's ghost?). One of them disappears, the other runs to Mellonin's to ask for help and they're off.

What do you think about this? We need a realistic solution.
