Now the ride home is going to be very interesting. And Pippin relearning to use his sword will be no easy task; and sadly, Beregond is right about Pippin being a competent soldier of Gondor. He might do all right in the Shire, but that is "iffy" at best, too.

I loved the conversation between Aragorn and Frodo, and Pippin's "new found" compassion towards his cousins and friends.

Well done, ladies!

I had thought of his relearning his sword handling skills, but didn't think about the difficulty even the bad spells would cause until I started writing the scene. I know from my fencing that blanking out is not good. No, the poor lad will always be at a grave disadvantage.

"He gave a part of his heart to this city, its king and its steward, and I do not think hobbits forget those to whom they have given their hearts."

I just love that. This is a very growthful experience for everyone, not just Pippin.

That has been one of the more interesting aspects of this story is seeing how what is happening to Pippin affects everyone else.
