Diamond (The Seeing Herself Through His Eyes Remix)

When Pippin brought Diamond to Tuckborough, Diamond had not known what to expect: it had been too long, after all, since she had spent any length of time at Great Smials. There seemed little to comfort one's heart - after all, her mother, who'd spent her younger days a Took, had removed herself early on and hadn't ever been a Tuckborough Took, anyhow. Pippin has long been dear to Diamond, though her heart had taken its time in knowing so as well. She would face a hundred - no, a hundred times a hundred - Tooks for his sake, if that was needed.

She carried herself with graciousness, and felt herself regarded as one might a flower. They spoke to say, it had been too long since she had come visiting, for Pippin's old Uncle (well, cousin) Ferdinand remembered her as she'd been as a small child: and my, he laughed, how you have grown! She thought Ferdinand charming enough, though, and Diamond smiled at him and his compliments - how lovely you are, beautiful Diamond! - but some small part of her smile was for Pippin alone. For she had followed him in to a den of Tooks, and would follow him forever after.

She found, by thinking that, she could in fact face these Tooks, who were not so terribly different from her North-took kin. Uncle Ferdinand (for he had insisted!) went on about her loveliness, and how Pippin was lucky to have her, so fair as she was! And hopefully, he went on, the wedding would be soon. Ferdinand reminded her of her own Uncle Rudo, for he laughed as often, and was as merry: but also, Ferdinand seemed intent on knowing that Pippin saw Diamond for the rare treasure that she was. Diamond knew Pippin saw her for more than that.
