Oh, how wonderful--and the joy in Merry is so believable.

Author Reply: Thank you, Larner. I could hardly wait to get to writing this part, because Merry had been through so much and I wanted to give him some relief.

Thanks for commenting!

See, Merry, while there's life, there's hope and your vigil and hope have been rewarded. Good for you! *celebrates with you*

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

The next day, Merry rejoiced all day long

And so am I! Yay, what a joyous chapter indeed. A wonderful reward for Merry's terrible nightmare.

Merry's excitement is catching! I was so excited by the end of this that I really do wish that we had another chapter. I want to see how well Merry does in keeping his own energy in check when he is allowed to be with Pippin. I loved this part.

(("Oh, Pippin," Merry murmured. "You were ever so brave, and I'm so very proud of you. It's time to come back to me now. Sam and Frodo still sleep, and will for some time yet, but you have to wake up. You need to keep your Merry from going crazy here. No one else will laugh at my jokes the way you do, Pippin. No one else has the patience. Strider says that you're healing nicely, and that when you wake up I'm to help you with your exercises. I never thought I'd say this, but I could do with some endless Tookish chatter about now." Merry stroked Pippin's cheek with his fingertips. "I swear I'll never tell you to be quiet again, if only I could hear your sweet voice."))

LOL I hope Merry knows what he's in for!

Author Reply: He he.. yep, I wonder how long it'll be before Merry thinks "Remember when there was peace and quiet around here"...

Seriously, I'll try to have another chapter up shortly. Thanks for reading, GW!
