I'd squee but I fear it makes me cough, so I'll settle for grinning ear to ear. Really, what a delight! I need to go back to bed now, but I hope to post a more detailed review later, with a few clips of favourite bits. How lovely. Menelcar. Hoorah!

Oh, poor dear, still sick! Well, I'm glad this has perked you up some! *grin* *sends Pippin over with chicken soup, and Menelcar to serenade you with a lullaby*

This was a fantastic chapter...I remember reading your earlier story, and it's good to see Menelcar once again. I can see why Pippin would be surprised at Menelcar's statement about the renown of the hobbits. For all intents and purposes, Pippin and the others are celebrities in Gondor - something they, as hobbits, wouldn't really be familiar with. It's one reason they always insist on being able to call Elessar "Strider", just as they did during the Quest. So Legolas is intent on making an instrument for Pippin, I take it? This could get very interesting. Thanks for putting this up!

Pippin, and the others, have no idea how to deal with "celebrity-hood". It's not a very hobbity concept, and to top it all off, none of the four especially think they've any reason to be "famous", though they each think the other three should be. This is worst of course, for Frodo. Well, actually, Legolas is purchasing an instrument at Pippin's request...but I mustn't get ahead of myself...
