"Diamond, say something." Pippin looked pleadingly into Diamond's eyes, but she maintained her silence. Her eyes become narrower with anger and she remained silent. "Don't look at me like that, lass. I can't stand to have you angry with me. Especially right when I've returned. It seems like I never do anything right." He hung his head with sorrow.
"Oh, alright. I will speak to you, but that doesn't make me any less angry. I want to discuss this ban on lasses fighting. It's our Shire, too, you know." Pippin laughed.
"I promise we will discuss it, but I have many questions, or few, depending on your answers. What do you know about this Sharkey who has taken over?"
"I know that no one has seen him, well, no one but Lotho Sackville-Baggins. But that's because Sharkey stays at Bag End with Lotho. I also know that he has a slimy second-in-command who acts as his voice to the Shire. No one but Lotho and this Wormtongue ever see Sharkey."
"Did you say Wormtongue?"
"Yes, and I know what you must be thinking. But do you really think that Gríma Wormtongue would be here in the Shire?"
"Only if he followed his master here. No one has seen this Sharkey, but has he been heard? His voice I mean?"
"Yes. I have heard him myself. I felt a chill go down my spine and I was terrified of him. He seems to be able to control with his voice, though something tells me it is a shadow of his former power." Pippin looked deep into Diamond's eyes as though he were searching for a greater answer. He then looked up at the ceiling and Diamond could see the anger in his face.
"Saruman."
"Tôl um, Cordof… Tôl um. He has ruined our home and he will pay! Tôl acharn!"
"You still are not fighting, milady. Vengeance is a dangerous game to be playing, especially for hobbit lasses." Diamond stepped back in shock. Had he really understood her elven words?
"How? Did… Pippin! Did you learn Sindarin?"
"I heard a lot of it, actually. But didn't learn much until the journey home. Legolas taught us a few phrases. Phrases that have become famous in elven history. Like Húrin's exclamation of Tôl acharn. Why, did I impress you, Mîrwen?" Diamond smirked.
"No. It takes much more than a few phrases of Sindarin to impress me, Peregrin Took. You shocked me and took me by surprise, but you didn't impress me…much." She looked at Pippin with her deep blue eyes
"This behavior is not going to change my mind. You are not fighting, Mîrwen." Diamond looked at him with anger in her eyes.
"I wish you wouldn't use my elven name, Peregrin. That honor is reserved for my family and close friends." Pippin turned away from her, not wanting her to see how much she had just hurt him. "Why will you not let me fight? You know better than any other lad how well I can fight."
"I love you! That's why!"
