| Poor little Pippin--he's just trying to help! And so is Merry. But I wonder just how much Frodo is going to appreciate that help--I don't think he's ready to give over his sorrow yet. Author Reply: Yes, I think Frodo would still be in a type of grieving at this point, since it hasn't even been a year since Bilbo left. And I think this may be one of those instances where the age difference between Pippin and Merry does impact how they understand or experience different things. | |

| Pearl's birthday, is it? And Frodo's reminded of Bilbo's going by smoke, is he? Alas, Frodo--he has his share of grief, but also his share of accomplishment. Author Reply: At this point, at least, Bilbo's leaving and the party that accompanied it are still pretty recent for Frodo -- it was only a few months ago, in terms of when the story's set. And, yes, it is Pearl's birthday. | |

| O my. Took a running leap into LJ this morning (no time for more than a gulp, to mix my metaphors) and saw this recommended. Ooo, nice setup! What makes me think that Pippin's gone to look for Bilbo? Author Reply: Thanks. As for where Pippin is (or gets to be, since right now he's running into Merry at the food table), only time will tell... | |

| Just one nitpick. The summary says this is 1412, but if Bilbo's party wasn't long ago and Pippin is twelve years old, it should be 1402. Off to a very promising start! Author Reply: D'oh! My brain must have been on vacation there. I fixed it. Thanks! | |

| Off to a grand start, Topaz! I'm looking forward to finding out what's next :-) Author Reply: Thanks! I hope to get the next chapter posted in the next week or so. | |

| Now, I hadn't thought of that. Frodo wouldn't exactly be thrilled with birthday parties after Bilbo left, would he? This is very interesting all around. I find myself wondering if Merry insisted Frodo come along or if Frodo was simply invited and didn't feel he could refuse? Looking forward to more. Author Reply: I think it may have contributed to Frodo being a "loner." And I suspect that Merry can be pretty insistent. | |
