Summary: Pippin recovers…

--

"Good morning Pippin." Aragorn said to the young hobbit as he brought him breakfast. "How are you feeling today?"

"Better," Pippin replied, and stayed quiet as he ate breakfast. While he was checking on his patient, nothing much was said, and when Aragorn was about to leave, Pippin called his name.

"Is there something else you need, Pippin?"

Pippin didn't answer immediately, not sure how to formulate his request. Finally, he looked at Aragorn and said: "I would like to see Frodo and Sam."

Aragorn did not say anything, but looked at the young hobbit. Knowing that he would not give up if he said no, Aragorn said "All right, but not for long. You still need rest. And I will carry you there, how is that?"

"All right"

"How are they feeling?" Aragorn asked.

"Oh my God." Pippin said when he saw the faces of Frodo and Sam. Their faces were so pale. He looked closely at their two friends, and noticed the missing finger on his cousin's hand. He came to him, and took it. "Frodo," he whispered, "please wake up. I don't want you to die, ok? Not after everything we went trough!" at this moment Pippin could have sworn that the hand he was holding had moved. "Frodo?" no response. "Strider!"

"What's the matter?"

"Frodo's hand! It moved!" Pippin replied.

"Are you sure?" Aragorn asked, looking up.

Pippin nodded. "positive. I was holding it. I felt it, I am sure."

Aragorn did not say anything for a while. Then: "We better bring you back to your room."

"what? Aragorn…"

"no buts, pippin. You should be glad I allowed you to come. Normally only healers are allowed. However, as soon as he is awake I promise that I will tell you. You trust me?"

Pippin nodded. "Always.", he said and yawned. " and now that you say it, I am rather tired."

"then let's get you back to your room and you'll be allowed to sleep"
