"I want to be a healer."

Bergil looked at his feet, waiting for the roof to fall, but he couldn't help but be glad he'd finally spoken out. The adults had gone silent, the room so quiet he could hear the splashing of the fountain outside the window, and the bark of the sergeant in the training square below, trying to make the thump of the recruits' feet all fall into the same pattern. All his childhood he had wanted to be in that pattern, but he was not a child any longer, and he knew the cost of war.

Aww...aww...Oh, your Bergil is so *sweet*! And I am quite sure the roof wouldn't fall-- if the adults around him are the ones I'm imagining, I can't see them as being anything but supportive, for they know how Bergil lost his childhood during the siege. He'd have no illusions left about the "glory" of being a soldier.

And I'm pretty sure I know four hobbits who would be thrilled to hear of his decision.

And then they hugged him and kissed him and said "Indubitably", right?

I think Bergil would be a great healer. He's such an appealing character.

I love your description in here-- And innocence lost is indeed a huge theme in LotR.

I can definitely see Bergil making that choice.
