Excellent! this clandestine conversation caught me completely by surprise. I never would have imagined a meeting between these two happening in this way but once I started reading your words made me think it entirely plausible and real. You did a great job capturing Pippin - his kindness, pride, gratitude and love all together; and Eowyn I felt was very true to the book - terse and so expressive. With very few words you caught her feelings on life, war and Aragorn. Very Well Done!

Wow, this was absolutely marvellous! I love gap-fillers like this.

I, too, love bookverse Eowyn (movieverse Eowyn isn´t bad either) and IMHO you´ve portrayed her soo well! Pippin, too. But, Eowyn...oh, wow...amazing!! I am so very impressed.
I am in absolute awe over your ability to make me all caught up in such a short story. It takes great talent to keep it so simple, yet with such high quality.

Will there be a sequel of sorts?

The first time I read this, I was impressed with Pippin's youth and Eowyn in general (I already told you this). But this time, that last line from Pippin just wolloped me. Was that why he was waiting there for her to wake? To thank her? How beautiful.

Darl, I loved this fic.

Apart from the fact is my favorite LOTR character (the Legolas-thingy is purely hormonal and blinded by maniac infatuation), I loved the way you came up with the meeting of Pippin and the White Lady. Again, I recognize the very same Eowyn I longed for while reading Tolkien and Pippin is lovely, very in character and I can see both before my eyes.

Thank you!

Very nice! Very Happy smiley face That was a very enjoyable read, I really felt for Eowyn. Everything seems to remind her of what she has lost, even Pippin's attempts to thank her. Very well expressed! Smile smiley face

The only change, not change: refinement, I would suggest is when Pippin says to Eowyn "My friends call me Pippin and so should you" I would change to something more like "my friends call me pippin and I would be honored if you would too"

hobbits being so very courteous and he so in awe of the lady.

my two cents, but I do certainly agree, in just a few lines of text you pulled me right into the room, eavesdropping on their conversation! well done.
