Summary: All were furnished by Elrond with . . . jackets and cloaks lined with fur. (The Ring Goes South, FOTR)



I don't own anything. It all belongs to JRRT.


Pippin drew his new, fur lined cloak more closely against the chill wind flowing down off the mountain. Great Smials had many fine things, but there was never occasion in the Shire for fur lined jackets or cloaks.

He wondered what animal the fur had originally graced and felt a little guilty. But then, he could not imagine Elrond’s folk killing any animal just for the pelt. And if it died for food it made sense to use the skin.

He huddled deeper, offering thanks to whatever creature it had been and wishing it happy hunting, wherever it was now.

Elrond provided Frodo with a new suit of green when he woke up too. What can I say? I notice stuff like that. :-)

This is just lovely. Dear Pippin!

A soft-hearted lad.

Oh, how wonderful that cloak must have felt in the winter weather, and I'm pleased he had thoughts for the creature from whom it was taken.

They certainly needed them on Caradras.

Awww! :D

Elrond was really quite generous. And Pip. is a softie.

They certainly would need these cloaks later! *freezes just thinking about Caradhras*

At least book hobbits had the cloaks. Movie hobbits should have died by rights. :-)
