“When will you leave?” Pippin’s question came out as a half-sob, but he caught himself and struggled to regain his composure. “Soon.” “Why?” “Because I must.” They didn’t speak of the departure again, but each day thereafter, Pippin kept watch with his heart. And after a short time had passed, just as before Frodo was unable to creep away without the companionship of his closest kin. I love this. The pain and the love and all... Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Thank you for commenting on my little ficlet! I'm very pleased to hear you liked it! It *would* have been a very painful moment for both.

Cathleen, this was so beautifully done, I hardly know where to start. Seamless writing that flows, conversation and actions so natural that you readily believe the reality of the relationship between the two cousins. As you promised, bittersweet. A likely gapfiller. I wish I had time to quote, but really, there'd be so many quotes this review might end up longer than the story. Thanks!

This was really well done. Pippin's twinges of upcoming grief are beautifully subtle and well-handled. I liked Frodo's relative serenity and the way that the autumn weather mirrored this period in both their lives.

Beautiful! So like Pippin, to be able to just know what Frodo was going to do. Great foreshadowing as well, with the conversation about change.

Thanks so much, Traveller. I think Pip has a very good sense about his cousins and others he is close to. Reminds me of my grandmother! *Grin*

Yes, so poignant, and so Frodo and Pippin! Thanks for this.
