In the boats

[rabidsamfan]

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.

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.
