AUTHOR'S NOTE: Happy New Year,
everyone! There'll be a "proper" chapter soon – if you
review, that is, for otherwise I'll indulge in the vice of
video-gaming once again…
Bea: Two of yours to answer (as far as
we haven't discussed it already via e-mail, that is). Yes, there
was no way past angsty this time; I expected you'd appreciate it.
And it's all Delannay's fault. Don't expect me to write any
sensible stuff when the neighbours are burning off fireworks across
the street.
Pertie: You've noticed something about Delannay: Yes
indeed, he doesn't intend to go down there himself. Maybe later on
he will, though…
Polly: That ferret loves you, I'm
sure.
Beregond's Girl: No, the buzzing is just the flies. Erik
has nothing to do with it this time. As for pointing out the bit
about "sucks", thanks a bunch, and I must say I'm amazed you
know about it, but this is actually one of my little hints –
remember the Lórien scene where they are blindfolded, and
Legolas cursing the dwarves ("Sucks to the dwarves and their stiff
necks!")? So it'll stay, but thanks all the same.
jtbwriter:
Yes, Erik's having a bad, bad day… and all for your
entertainment!
