Before the Feast

Merry peeked out through the curtain wall dividing the back of the pavilion from the feasters. Frodo and Sam were seated between Strider and Gandalf, looking overwhelmed.

He glanced over at the little barrel on which Pippin sat, as they awaited the time to serve. His younger cousin looked so splendid in his new livery. And his own had been burnished up as well. He ran his fingers over the horse on his tabard. So much had changed. But they were all alive and together once more.

He took up the platter of roasted vegetables. It was time to begin.

Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. I'm so sorry you didn't get credit for this. I find the cutoff usually falls around 5-6 pm Central time, if that helps?

This was lovely.

I like this very much. For Merry, the most important thing seems to be his cousins and his friends. I love the way he is watching out for Frodo and Sam. : )

For some reason I was thinking it was about 8central, but clearly I was wrong!

Glad you liked it.

Thank you!

It is the most important thing for him-- he will never stop trying to watch out for all of them! I'm glad you liked it!

I could so totally be wrong; I'm thinking about the time they post the number every night, so I'm not sure...don't hold me to it in a court of law! ;)
