I love that line! So like Pippin to want to do whatever he can for Merry. I like the way you show Pippin's fears that he will be unable to help while showing how determined he is to help. Loved it!

You will have to poke me for a change, so that I actually write the next bit!
Thank you again for all of your terrific input!
