For RabidSamFan who wanted to see Sam`s thoughts about Merry and Pippin at Cormallen.

Oh, but it`s good to see them again! Mr. Pippin and Mr. Merry are here and they are alive and look well. It is a wonder to see them standing tall and proud before their Kings. But when mail and livery comes off and they are just Merry and Pippin again, I see that they too are changed. Mr. Pippin has grown up and I see a new wisdom in Mr. Merry`s eyes as he looks at his cousins, his gaze lingering and where he earlier would quickly find reassurance that all is well, he now needs confirmation before he is satisfied.
