Mending

He took up the long leather coat and set it on his knees, threading the leather needle from his pack with heavy woolen thread. The coat had seen long service, judging by the other repairs, and Sam wondered how many battles it had seen. Or had the other rips been made in practice too? No matter. It would be easy enough to mend.

Boromir was counting cadence as Frodo sparred with Aragorn again and Sam found himself humming to the rhythm, vaguely pleased that the Men had found out now what Sting could do, with a hobbit’s arm behind it.

Oh, yes, and Aragorn was lucky it was just the coat!

No. (I can just imagine Aragorn posting Warning signs around the Shire...)

thanks!

Whise coat is it? Aragorn's? Boromir's? (Aragorn's, I guess, from the state it's in.). Very fine! And Sam always has to do something, isn't it?

Sorry - whose coat, of course. I've just finished the translation of OFUM *blows a trumpet weakly*, and now I'm so tiiiired...

Which of course means that I can turn to The Ringbearer and the Rose next week. *rubs her hands*

Aragorn's coat, of course. (I'd just been watching the DVD.) And I'm looking forward to seeing the translation, even if I won't understand it!

This is great! What goes on inside Sam's head gives so much insight into himself, the people around him, and the tiny moments that make up the Quest.

Oh dear, now I have an image of myself all wrapped up in a raincoat saying "Wanna drabble, little girl?" in an inviting whisper...

*wink*

Thanks!

Cool! Was this Aragorn's coat? Nic of Sam to mend it for him. :)

Yup, it's Aragorn's coat. And Sam probably mended everybody's stuff -- it would be just like him!

How very like Sam, to quietly take over patching up tears that his master caused... that's a very nice picture.

I can't imagine him making a production of it. It needs doing so...

Thank you!

I second Kimberly's comment.

With nary a thought, and just in quiet practical, yet caring support.

*hugs Sam*

(*and enjoys Frodo's quick skill that teaches the Men to examine their assumptions...*)

Oh thank you!

(And the Men need to examine their assumptions, don't they!)

Is it bad that I find this highly amusing? Just the thought of Frodo inflicting harm upon one of the Men seems funny to me somehow.

Wonderful little piece. :)

Probably startled the heck out of both of them. But I find it an amusing thought too.

thanks!

Hehehehe... never doubted my darlin' for a second... Of course he could teach those men a thing or two!

It would take the superior tolerant look off of Boromir's face in a hurry, I'm thinking!

Thanks!

Your Sam drabbles are exquisite! I'm rather fond of the line, the Men had found out now what Sting could do, with a hobbit’s arm behind it. Good for them! :D
