Summary: Tolkien doesn't tell us how Frodo recuperated from losing a finger



I don't own the setting or the people (other than the poor scribe). They all belong to JRR Tolkien.

“He sent me away, Majesty.”

Elessar waived the young scribe upright. He hoped he never grew used to such obeisance. “Did he give you a reason Master scrivener?”

“The Ringbearer seemed somewhat vexed sir. I fear I was too busy ducking to determine the precise nature of his displeasure.”

“Ducking?”

“He threw an ink pot,” the youth complained. The scribe turned to display a large stain upon the back of his tunic.

Elessar smiled. Frodo Baggins was absolutely determined to remaster use of a pen with his damaged hand. His grip seemed better today. That pot must have been heavy.

Oh, Frodo. Poor scrivener!

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :) Poor little scribe.

Aw, poor little scribe. Hopefully, Frodo will apologize. But I love the King's reaction.

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he will. But beware the Baggins when he can't write.

*grins* Love it.

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

Attaboy, Frodo. I feel sorry for the scribe, though.

Poor young scribe.

Yes, you would need a good grip to be able to toss the ink pot. LOLOL

It's a good hobbit skill to regain at least. :D

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed this.

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I suppose even Frodo is entitled to a tantrum once in a while.

[febobe.livejournal.com]

LOVE it! :D

Poor little scribe.

Thank you. :)

Am laughing aloud, and pitying the poor scribe! And LOVE the title--the Master and his friend Jack would have smiled at it, I think!

[elwenlj.livejournal.com]

I'm pleased both tale and title made you giggle. I couldn't resist the title.

Aw, poor little scribe! Seeing as my significant other has fully recovered from a hand injury only recently, I can well imagine Frodo's outbreaks of frustration. Good to see he is improving, though!

Thanks. :-) Tolkien never mentions it and I can imagine poor Frodo struggling for a while.
