Format: Drabble
Genre: Humor
Rating: G
Warnings: None
Characters: Frodo, Sam
Pairings: N/A
Summary: Sam's feeling a bit overwhelmed by the generosity of the good folks of the White City.
Title: Simple Tastes



"It's not that I'm ungrateful, Mr Frodo..."

"Of course not, Sam. No one could ever accuse you of that."

"And they're just as nicely made as anyone could do, back in the Shire."

"Certainly as fine as anything that could be found there, yes."

"It's just that, well, I don't feel comfortable in them. They're too light, too soft, too fancy."

"Well, Sam, they are made of silk."

"But that's just it, Mr. Frodo. Silk's fine for gentlehobbits like you, and Mr. Merry and Mr Pippin. I'm just Samwise Gamgee. Couldn't they find just some plain cotton underpants for me?"

I've done my own take on Sam and the fancy clothes of the South, so it's a trope I love. What fun, and SO Sam!

I can see Rosie being happy to help him remove them at a future date. (oops - that sounds as if I expect him to keep them on until then!)

Oh, dear, poor Sammy, he'd be so uncomfortable in silk drawers.

LOL Sam making such a fuss over silk undies! What if they gave him a whole robe of the stuff?

I'm finally getting a chance to catch up a bit. This one was so true to form. Nicely done!
