Title: And now, insightful political commentary from Bree Author: just_ann_now Characters: Butterbur, others Warnings: None Disclaimer: Not mine, merely borrowed. For the "Game of Thrones" challenge
I think the King will probably put these fears to rest, and the good folk of Bree have nothing to worry about. :-) Brilliant how you've captured their uneasiness in so few words.
There had been so much Gondor-centric stuff posted already. Not that I don't love Gondor *snort* but it was time for new perspective! And not a particularly encouraging one, either. Oh dear.
Thank you! Once the hooligans were cleared away, and the trade routes unobstructed, I can't see that folks would be eager for other changes that might effect them in less-savory ways. Suspicious folk, those Breelanders, for all their seeming friendliness.
Hee, thank you! It wanted to start out with Sam explaining the difference between the Thain and the King, but then it started getting all kinds of complicated. I like this version much better (and not entirely because I'm such a lazy writer)...

Let's hope so! They're an ornery bunch, though.
Thank you for reading and commenting!

*ponders* So who's going to cry 'no taxes without representation' and organise the tea-party?
This is a wonderful look at kingship from the other side - love it!
