Day 199: The Drink Speaking

rakshathedemon asked for a follow up to Size Matters in which we find out what Pippin is doing while Faramir and Faramir spar. On the sidelines watching, or downing some brew with Beregond and/or Bergil?

Day 199

The Drink Speaking

When last they'd met, they'd been much of a height. Though Bergil – as he'd pointed out at the time – had already been a little taller. Now, come into his full growth, he towered over Pippin.

The conversation was stilted at first. Pippin enquired politely how Bergil liked his posting in the Guard and whether he was courting. Bergil congratulated Pippin on his elevation to the Thainship.

But as the ale flowed, they slowly relaxed, reminiscing over old times, until: "Do you still wrestle?"

"Do you still claim you could stop me standing you on your head?"

"Want to find out?"

Thanks. *g* Just couldn't resist seeing how they'd get on 20 or so years later!

LOL! The drink was just an excuse - you know they'd end with this at some point, regardless. Very funny, and I can so see it...

Yeah... I suspect they might get round to it eventually. *g* Although I'm not sure if there would be more of less damage done if the were to wrestle when sober compared to a little tipsy.

Anyway, glad it worked for you - thanks for letting me know
