Cold -- Pippin

[rabidsamfan]

I think I've forgotten what it means to feel warm, to sprawl beside a comfy fire in a well-built room that hasn't any drafts while I wait for the kettle to whistle and toast muffins. All I've done lately is crouch by a tiny excuse for a fire with the wind's doing its best to climb up my britches and down the back of my shirt and up my sleeves while my hands crack with chilblains, and all for the sake of a breakfast of porridge and tea that's only lukewarm half the time.

But at least it's an adventure!

Typical Pippin, lol, looking on the bright side no matter what. I just read your Frodo drabble, too, and it's lovely. Are you going to write the whole Fellowship's reaction to the cold?

That's our young Took!

Ah, Pippin. *squees gently*

But at least it's an adventure!

Did he ever stop saying that, do you think?

This is adorable!

Isn't it like Pip to think even extreme discomfort and lack as a lark? I love this a lot, and am perversely thankful for the cold that had inspired you with this.:)

Oh how Pippish!! I take it that Pippin and Frodo tied in your poll?
"But at least it's an adventure."
That Pip, always looking on the bright side!

Like many others, I love this last line: But at least it's an adventure!

That's our irrepressible Took!
