| She watched Frodo bounce the properly clean and tidy baby. Little Pip's feet danced on his uncle's knees and he made all sorts of approving gurgles. He disliked being dressed or undressed but was perfectly happy once the process was over. This is the happiest household to ever grace Middle-earth. I adore the gentle teasing, the love, and how comfortable and easy everyone is with one another. Looks to be another great story, BB! Author Reply: Thank you for that. I like angst as much as the next person but figured I'd give Frodo a break because he's had far too much of it. I imagine that hobbits who have known each other for a long time and have been through what these have, would be very comfortable with each other. They're an easy-going and cheerful people - wish I could live in the Shire. *sigh* | |

| Now if that's the King, I'm going to be overflowing with glee! Strider at Sam's birthday!! Of course, it could be Legolas--no, you specifically said "Men"--or Faramir? or hmmm...? There's a lot to love in this chapter: the anecdotes about Merry's and Pippin's mishaps, the discussion of the Old Forest--Merry and Pip have the 'tree-light' in them, according to Treebeard, as they drank Ent draughts, and the trees recognise them as brothers. But I think the main reason is that we're not the timid hobbits we once were, and perhaps the Old Forest, like Fangorn, is a place where you are brought face to face with your own darkness. *Exactly* what I have thought about the Old Forest after the Quest was over! And the squabble over cloud shapes! How wonderful--especially when you realize that Merry's only two years off his fiftieth birthday himself! Those two will never change! And now a mysterious Man...(oooh, oooh I hope it's Strider...) Author Reply: Thought I'd crank up the tension just a teensy bit. :-)) Keep you on the edge of your chair until I update! Merry and Pip will never change - they'll be squabbling over cloud shapes and breakfast sausages when they're a hundred! Difficult to imagine Merry as nearly fifty. Couldn't resist a few anecdotes about their past antics. *Wonders what Dreamflower looks like when overflowing with glee* Is it messy? | |

| I love this Baggins Babe. Pleeeese update soon. You had me in stitches over Aragorn in the water and the snake. Author Reply: I'll do my best with the update, but glad you enjoyed the tale of Aragorn's unexpected bath. :-)) | |
