| Merry and Pippin's conversation is quite hobbity. They discuss great matters in a very lighthearted way, over a cup of tea. I do miss the wonderful teasing of Aragorn from the books, but I did enjoy the explanation of how Merry got from next to Eowyn to under a Southron. And their quiet confidence in Frodo is nice - he usually knows what he is doing, and that is enough for hope. The men of the city put their hope in Estel. There is a nice balance here of Aragorn's reluctance to press his case untimely, and the clear power that he posesses which is recognized by everyone. It seems right though, that he does declare himself here. After Denethor's death, what the people need is leadership, and he can give them that. Pippin's courage is welcome as well. He's not a child any more, and he steps up not by accident, but in full knowledge of the circumstances. Go Pip! I am going to have to look up your other story sometime. Seems I've missed a wedding too, and I do so love to cry at weddings. | |
