Bergil is part hobbit, I think, poor wee thing. . . . Sooooo cute. . . . :D
The King nodded. “And you were running errands for the Healers, were you not? Do you know the look of a fever, or when someone is hiding pain?”
“I think so,” Bergil said, and because that didn’t seem to be enough he explained. “You can’t just see if people have a fever, you have to touch them, but if their eyes get shiny, and their faces get red or pale you know you should check. And when people hurt inside they get tight eyebrows.”
“Tight eyebrows?”
“Yes, and they make their mouths all stiff. Like this.” Bergil pulled his eyebrows together and made his mouth a straight line, the way he’d noticed that the soldiers who wanted to go back to the walls even though they were bleeding made their faces when they talked to the Healers. It had never fooled Mardil, of course, although sometimes the herbmaster pretended that it did.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. . . . :D Smart lad!
*melts at the idea of him trying to watch over Sam and of course poor wee possibly feverish Frodo*
