The Meaning of Haste


If I weren’t swaddled like a fauntling in cloak and blankets I’d probably not be falling asleep so much. But perhaps I would anyway. It’s not like I need to balance, or pay attention to the road. Gandalf is busy thinking, and Shadowfax knows the way. He hasn’t stumbled, not once, since we left Isengard -- his gait is as smooth as the pony on rockers that has been the mount of every Took-babe since Gerontius was born. It makes me dream of the nursery, and of home, when Mama’s arms would hold me the way Gandalf’s arms do now.

That's lovely. You are *such* a master of the final, perfect line of a drabble!

Omigosh, you wrote something without Sam in it! The sky is falling!

Thank you.
And I've done it before... just not often. ;)

This is so lovely! I can just see that image in the movie, with Pippin asleep in Gandalf's arms, and I recall one of my favorite quotes from TTT:
"As he fell slowly into sleep, Pippin had a strange feeling: he and Gandalf were still as stone, seated upon the statue of a running horse, while the world rolled away beneath his feet with a great noise of wind."

*grin* And what do you suppose I was rereading just before I wrote this?

Thanks!

Yay, exactly. He calls him Fool of a Took, but he holds him like a mother. Wonderfully done.

Thank you. Gandalf and Pippin are an interesting combination in a lot of ways.

Oh, my heart! I'm a sucker for Gandalf/Pippin fics, especially where the wizard is all protective and motherhenish. This is utter perfection! Thank you for such a sweet treat!

No, I missed this one! It's perfect, exactly as I hoped. That's so sweet, the ride making Pippin think of his rocking horse and his mother's arms. Thank you very much!
