Awwwwww.... how sweet! I love these little glimpses into their relationship. Clever Merry, to come up with answers so quickly for Pippin's curiosity.

"Not everything," Merry admitted, stifling a yawn of his own. One hand drifted toward Pippin's head, and he gently stroked his curls. "But enough to answer curious questions." I LOVED that!



Author Reply: Oh I'm so glad you liked that bit! And yes, Merry definitely has to think quickly if he wants to keep up with Pippin! Thanks for reading Jules. I'm so happy you enjoyed it :)

Ah! Snoozing Hobbits *g* But how do you explain it when you can see both the sun and moon in the sky at the same time? Are they cooperating or arguing?

Author Reply: Heehee, that's a good point, Harrowcat! I'm sure that was the first thing Pippin asked when he woke up! Thanks for reading :)

He was too busy thinking to remember that he was sleepy.

*Grin* I can very well imagine that!

What a sweet little story! That's how it goes with children. They will come up with all sorts of questions. The trick is to have always a quick, easy and satisfying answer. Merry seems to be a master of that art :)

Author Reply: Thanks, Andrea! I'm so glad you enjoyed. You're right, Merry would have to be very good at answering dozens of questions very quickly if he wants to keep up with Pippin! :)
