Happy Birthday, danae_b!

Sweet Dana, I hope you have a nice birthday today!

Here is a little Pippin/Diamond drabble for you:

Missing Her


Pippin stood on the front step of the little house, his hands jammed into his pockets, leaning against the doorjamb as he watched the posthobbit go off with his letter. He missed her. Diamond only been gone a day, and he already missed her. Her visit had been all too short.

He knew she had to get back to the Great Smials. An apprentice's time was not her own, especially a healer's apprentice. The sooner she finished her apprenticeship, the sooner they could announce their betrothal, and plan their wedding.

Well, at least they wouldn't have to wait forty years.

That's sweet. I know Dana will love it.

Dear Pip, he's really in love.

I love that he's so in love and also wanting her to have her own work and her own life. :)

Compared to Aragorn's and Arwen's courtship, a few years seems minimal, if no less bearable. Poor Pip!

n'aw. I read this in my inbox and I'm reading it again here, mostly so's I can give you a proper comment. This is incredibly sweet and I do so like that last line. Thank you. ♥ *and hugs!*

Aaawwww! That is so sweet. Gotta love 'im.

[dreamflower]

*grin* It is, isn't it?

[dreamflower]

She did!

I'm glad you liked it, too!

[dreamflower]

He really, really is!

[dreamflower]

Because he loves her, he knows how important being a healer is to her. And he'd never want her to be unhappy by not doing what she loves.

And of course, he's also learned the importance of duty, and understands honor more than many hobbits who never left the Shire.

Poor Pip! My Pip, at least, finds himself often reminding himself that "it's not forty years". I guess in that, Aragorn and Arwen set a very good example of fidelity and restraint, LOL!

♥ and hugs back!

You deserved to have some treats for your birthday, though this is just a little one!

And, really, that last line was just inevitable! *grin*

[dreamflower]

Yes, well, Diamond does! And of course, she will have his letter waiting for her when she gets there! But Pippin is sweet, isn't he?

Fidelity and restraint - two things an impulsive Took such as Pippin needs to be reminded of often, I'm sure! ;)
