| Lindelea! Powerful Chapter! Glad they have been to keep Saradoc in bed. Having fun figuring where we are in their Travels, "Then Boromir came and slew many. He blew his great horn, but no help came...' 'Only more Orcs,' Pippin added. 'Then a black-feathered arrow...' Merry faltered and swallowed hard. Pippin tried to speak, but couldn't. Saradoc looked from son to nephew. Both had that faraway look in their eyes that he had come to associate with long silences and sleepless nights." Ouch! Boromir's death. *sob* his death from their traumatized memories was well handled. Ossilan is right. 'The barb's being drawn, and now the poison can come out.' well most of it at least. the healing can at least begin. "'Very uncouth fellows they were,' Pippin added. He had come out of his own trance. 'No conception of hospitality.' " Massive understatement. I can just hear Pippin's voice, as he tries for lightness in the face of the brutal treatment they received. Wonderful! Thank you! (((hugs))) MM Author Reply: MM! (And Saradoc isn't even a Took! Though his wife is. So you'd think he'd have the sense to stay in bed. I suppose any excuse for storytelling is a good excuse, though.) I'm so glad to hear from you! I appreciate your taking the time to read and share your thoughts during these busy times. (((hugs))) Lin | |

| I’m glad they’re sharing the story w Merry’s parents. Trying to ‘protect’ people from the truth isn’t always the best plan… Author Reply: Often, 'protecting' is worse than simply having it out, I think. And a good side-benefit is reducing the probability of erroneous assumptions. Thanks! I appreciate your reading and pausing to share your thoughts. | |

| Oh yes! The healing is going on for everyone here. Our lads need to tell their story and the parents need to hear and understand as best they can. I guess Pippin finally understands how hard everyone had to work to keep him in bed! *g* Author Reply: LOL! Perhaps Pippin does understand! (Now itching to write a story where Pippin has to struggle to keep young Faramir in bed... sort of like "just desserts" for all the trouble he caused in his youth.) | |

| Whew! Saradoc is home safe in bed, and has plenty of loving watchers. Perhaps telling about the horrors they went through together can be a release for M & R. And having Merry's parents as understanding allies can only be a good thing. Author Reply: It's funny, I've read other "takes" where Merry is able to tell his parents about the Quest, but Pippin isn't. I have to admit I really enjoyed a story where Pippin told *his* parents what happened while he was away. The loving support, even though they could not understand, really, completely, what had happened... and words fail me. Must be time for a cup of tea. Which is why I sat down at the computer in the first place, to wait for the kettle to boil. | |

| Yes, the splinter's out, and the infection can finally be released, and the healing can be given Merry and Pippin, who after all haven't had enough chance to tell their own part in the story. Author Reply: That's right. Somehow letting it out is better than keeping it in. | |
