You nailed his voice. And he's such a fascinating character to begin with. Good work, NB. Your attention to word choices shines here (fume, fiefs) and creates a nice cadence. How tempting it must have been for Imrahil to just take over. But he didn't. *sigh* So many heroes, so little time.  |

| Thanks, Viv. I greatly appreciate your feedback. It intrigued me that Imrahil so quickly accepts Aragorn as his liege; figured he couldn't be human if there wasn't a little more going on. Glad you enjoyed my musings. |

| This was great, Nancy. The thoughts of Imrahil and the ambiguity of power were most excellently captured. Bravo! |

| Thanks, Bink! Hard for me to imagine Imrahil couldn't have been tempted to better his brother-in-law, if only for his sister's sake, though so much more hung in the balance here. Glad you enjoyed this. |

Nice story, NB. I'd never really thought about the situation with Imrahil before, but it's a really interesting one you've hit on and highlighted so well in so few words. Great voice, as Viv says. Enjoyable read.  |

| Thank you, S'Weavil. I enjoyed this little foray into a new character, and I'm glad it was successful on the screen/page. |

This is a nicely thought provoking piece. It's quite impressing how fast the two of them, Aragorn and Imrahil, settled things between them. With a slight rewording on my part it went (almost) like this:
Imrahil: "Ohoy Scruffy King of the North, I pledge fealty."
Aragorn: Namaste shiny prince with an elven ancestor. Nice, and you'll be acting Steward. That seems like a fair solution. Right then, wad'ya'say let's hunt some orc..
It might lead one to suspect they knew eachother beforehand  |
