We've left the Lady behind and all that good green land, to follow this deep swift river as far as it can take us. I've been watching Strider paddle and he seems to know how, but every bump of waves makes my stomach hurt and my fingers tighten on the gunwales. I turn my head to ask how you are feeling; you've fallen asleep in the bow. Are you so tired then?

If I'm careful I can twist around, and I will, somehow. There are blankets here to wrap you in against the chill of wind and water.

awww very nice drabble :*) sounds very Sam-like with the fear of being on the boat and the concern for Mr. Frodo is oh so sweet at the end~

thanks for being creative in a tough time with the job~

It's how I can sleep some nights. I'd much rather think about hobbits.

I love the way Sam forgets his own anxiety to take care of Frodo here. Fabulous jump between Sam having his stomach jump and Sam turning to ask how Frodo is feeling: when something is frightening Sam his first thought is how the situation is going to affect Frodo. Very nice indirect Frodo characterization too -- he's not worrying about whether Aragorn can paddle or what will happen with the boat; instead he's saving his energy for a more important struggle. Very cool.

Thanks. I was inspired by the end of "Farewell to Lorien" and the beginning of "The Great River" in FOTR, so I can't take credit for having Frodo fall asleep, but I like your idea that he's saving his strength.

Wonderful! I love when Sam takes care of his Mr. Frodo...which is all the time. Everyone needs a friend like Sam. There aren't enough Sam's in the world.

Some people aren't Sam's all the time, but when it counts they come through.

Very sweet. Sam was very in character, thinking of Frodo's feelings more than his own.

Of course! I suspect that if Sam gets cold he tells Frodo to put on a sweater...
