Chapter 18:
Frodo's Awake! Yay!
Soon, I actually had things worked out with the magic stuff, was able to get food, and finally heard the rest of the story from Bilbo. Of course, Sam heard it too, as we were watching Frodo get better while he was storytelling.
It was now early in the morning and Gandalf and I were watching Frodo sleep. He had sent Sam and Chi off a while ago to rest and Bilbo wasn't up and about yet, so wasn't there either. I was sitting on the end of the bed, drawing, as I always did when I was bored.
"May I see?" Gandalf asked kindly. I think he could tell that I was drawing him, since my glance kept going from him to the notebook.
"No." I said shortly, "Stay still, will you?"
"You used my name, and this would be your repaying the favor." Gandalf said, taking the pipe from his mouth.
"Creep." I said, holding out the notebook for him to take, "Don't blame me if you hate it."
He looked at it for a few tense moments. He opened his mouth to say something when Frodo stirred.
"Where am I and what is the time?" Frodo asked to the ceiling, not moving much.
"In the house of Elrond, and it is ten o'clock in the morning," Gandalf said, handing me back my notebook. I closed it and put it away in my backpack. "It is October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know."
"Gandalf!" Frodo cried, sitting up, "And you! I never thought to ask. What is your name?" He asked me.
"Chu." I said, "Don't ask me, I didn't come up with it."
Frodo nodded, "Where is Sam? Is everyone all right?"
"They are all safe and sound. Sam was here until half an hour ago when I sent him to get some rest." Gandalf said.
"What happened? Why were you delayed? At least, I should be allowed to know that." Frodo asked, leaning back on his pillow.
"I," Gandalf cleared his throat, "was held captive."
"You? By whom?" Frodo asked. Then we heard the voice that followed the presence of Gandalf.
"Darling Gandalf! I'm well rested! I even ate breakfast!" Chi said, coming bounding into the room. She latched onto Gandalf's arm and then noticed us. "Oh. You're awake, Hobbit."
"Frodo!" I said, smacking her on the back of the head, "I told you his name was Frodo."
"Like I care." She said, rolling her eyes at me.
"Who is this?" Frodo asked, looking at her curiously.
"This is Chi, my sister. She came here with Gandalf." I said, holding out my hand in some sort of introduction manner.
"Pleased to meet you." He said, trying to sit up and bow to her politely.
"I like Hobbits." Chi said, smiling foolishly, "Nice to meet you too."
"Master Frodo!" Sam said, running up to Frodo's side.
"I thought I sent you to rest as well." Gandalf said.
"I couldn't be away too long! See, as soon as I left, he awoke." Sam said, "How do you feel, Master?"
Frodo smiled at his friend, "I am better, Sam."
"These girls haven't been bothering you? If they have, I'll send them away!" Sam asked, worriedly.
"As if you could." Chi and I said sarcastically, both rolling our eyes at him.
"No, Sam. They have not." Frodo told him.
"You should see this house, Mr. Frodo! It is large and beautiful, always more to discover around here. And Elves, sir! Elves here and Elves there! Some like kings, terrible and splendid; and some as merry as children. And the music and the singing - not that I have had the time or the heart for much listening in this place since we got here. But I am getting to know some of the ways of this place." Sam said, excitedly.
"I don't have to guess what you have been doing, Sam." Frodo smiled, tiredly.
"Now, let us leave Frodo to rest, Sam." Gandalf said. I guessed he jut assumed that we would follow as well. Good thing we did.
"I'm hungry." I said, "Now that Frodo's better, what's good to eat?"
