I'm glad Gandalf got round to asking the cause of the problem. It just goes to show that being a zillion year old Istar does qualify him to lead the Fellowship - at least until he decides to go diving in the chasms of Moria with a really hot creature.

Merry thinks he and Pippin are about to become fish food, does he? Perhaps Elrond should work on maintaining that impression for a while. I think Elrond has a bigger problem with the strawberry-bubble-bathed Arwen. She's known her adar long enough to realise that he isn't about to terminate her existence - or that of her beloved, because he's just too gosh-darned reasonable.

Of course, he could join in the fun. . . No, he wouldn't do something like that. He's too busy worrying about saving the world.

Author Reply: Gandalf is a good go-between because he can turn them all into newts if he wants. This, of course, makes me desperately want to quote Monty Python: "He turned me into a newt!" Lol.

I feel bad for Elrond. His peaceful city is going wild, and his daughter is being crazy about bubble bath. I really am going to have to explain that one.

You know, I can just see Elrond throwing them all out of Rivendell onto the Quest just to get some peace and quiet back. Poor guy. :)

Oh no! That infamous map! Tell me *why* I am suddenly regarding it with utmost suspicion?

And I loved this bit:

We are most certainly dead. We should never have started this,” Merry moaned, pulling at his hair. He lay on his bed, writhing. “Do you suppose that they will torture us before they kill us, or just throw us off one of the waterfalls?”

Pippin shrugged and didn’t answer. He rather resented Merry’s attack of melodrama; he felt it was his place, as the baby of the family, to be the one with the attack of the vapors.
*snicker* That is *so* Merry&Pippin!



Author Reply: You do right to regard it with suspicion. Many heads will be hitting desks because of that map. *evil grin*

Merry and Pippin are so much fun to write. I just love those two. :)
