I like a place that grows winter. Shivery. Can't tell yet whether this 'elf' is evil, lonely or something else, but his effect is magical.

I like your thoughts on the portability of knitting, incidentally - nice world-building details that Tolkien probably didn't bother with...

[curiouswombat]

Tindómë and Rumil will discuss, themselves, whether it could be an evil influence or not over the next chapter or two...

I'm glad you liked the thoughts on the portability of knitting - and I could see the Rohirrim having a semi-nomadic history, as well as being a gregarious people likely to gather together for warmth in the winter!

What I'm wondering is: ghost or something else, how would an elfling come to be in Eowyn's garden in Ithilien?

Hmmm. Next chapter, please!

I'm waiting for my beta to grammar check chapter three when he gets up... should be posted by tea-time I reckon!

I'm going to my brother's tonight, so I may be a bit late leaving feedback...

“I do not know. Would a ghost bring their own winter? A winter that made an elfling cold?

That does sound odd and possibly frightening.

More will be revealed in about ten minutes... I'm about to get sorted to post the next chapter.

Very intriguing! I'm looking forward to reading more.

Yay! You've found it and come over to read! It's all here when you have time to read, I hope you enjoy the rest of it.

Wonderful! I only have a few more crazy days at work; I'm really looking forward to getting caught up with my reading.
