rabidsamfan(for Dana)
In Edoras
Merry lay on the soft pallet that the Rohirrim had laid out for him and stared at the shadows that danced on the smokestained ceiling of the great hall. He hadn't had so comfortable a bed since Lorien, but it felt empty, and cold. He'd fallen out of the habit of sleeping alone. Ever since they'd left Crickhollow, Pippin had been there beside him, stealing the blankets or yawning through his turn on watch. Without him close by, Merry scarcely dared to close his eyes. Without Pippin sleep was different, and dangerous.
He felt like he'd forgotten how to dream.
