I just love Bergil telling this story in all innocence. I'm not surprised that Aragorn was banging his head against the wall! And I'm pretty certain that it won't take long for Pippin's revelations to percolate through Minas Tirith.

Such fun.

LOL!!! Evidently Bergil didn't realise that! I feel sorry for Aragorn/Elessar/Thorongil etc.

Oh, dear, I have a terrible cold, and this is making the cough worse! No wonder Aragorn was beating his head against the wall! And no wonder he left for the north posthaste! Oh, dear, this was priceless, and for Pippin to know who Thorongil was....

Lovely!

Hehehehe What better entertainment than a story told on the High King!! Well done!

I love this one!! Pippin as Vinca repellant :)

Pippin would feel strongly the need to be seen as the adult he had become. Wonderful to realize that Aragorn would no doubt have felt the same amongst the Elves. Well done as always :)

This needs a full scale laughter alarm not just a giggle alert Elendiari! Too much fun to read at work when I am SUPPOSED to be working. No wonder Aragorn wanted to bash his head against the wall - His past is coming to haunt him let alone the pirates! Now where are you posting the unedited version? I bet it rates more than a G!!!

Pippin-management comes almost instinctively to his cousins. Those scrambled eggs made it down his gullet before he dropped off to sleep - and he can always demand a replay of the embarrassing Merry story when he wakes. I suspect his cousin will tolerate pretty much anything in return for a recovering Pippin.

I loved the picture of Merry hovering jealously over his hoard of favourite things. And that he took the fact that nobody has ever caught anyone trying to grab them as proof positive that the toy-grabbers are sneaky rather than non-existent.

Very funny that the first thing that draws Merry to Pippin is his value as a Pervinca-repellent.

Author Reply: I expect that they've been practicing Pippin-management all his life, don't you?

What is hilarious to me is that we were at someone's house for dinner on the weekend, and they have a six-year-old boy, and I overhead the mother giving him a lecture to the effect that "No, they're not trying to steal your toys...!"

I loved the tale originally--but with the introduction and afterward it is even more priceless! Poor Pippin--sleeps just as the story gets fully interesting! Love it!

Author Reply: I imagine he's going to have the story all over again... but that Frodo will be sure to wait until Merry is also available to hear it. *g*
