Bergil probably needs to be lulled to sleep? If you are too sad sometimes you fight sleep. Sam might sit him down in a comfy, warm place, give him warm milk and then tell him a really long ponderously boring story in a monotone till he dozes off then covers him with a blanket and lets him sleep? That is what Mom did to us as kids. I watch her doing it to the grandkids all the time.
You should write a "Fell-Winter"-bit where people can read about the frost losing its grip around the Shire. Give them the beginning of spring (which would also give the whole series a proper and satisfgying end IMO). *is waiting to start the translation...*
Hmmm... Bergil was "still sniffling when he realized that he wasn't alone", right? Let it be Sam, and let him actually bundle him into the next bed. Would be only sensible... and the way I think Sam would react at the sight of this overtired, teary-eyed child. Is there perhaps a song he remembers from Bell Gamgee? (I like people being soothed by songs - quod erat demonstrandum. *grins*)
I had to tick all the choices -- even that one that contradicted all the others -- because I really, really, really love ticking ticky boxs. And now, I'm off to work.
