Genre: Humor
Warnings: None
A/N: Written for the tolkien_weekly Faces challenge. Prompt: Dead Pan

Pippin is about 5 years old here. 1395 SR; Whitwell


Pippin sniffed and patted the fresh grave before him. How could this happen? He still didn’t understand how you could lose such a thing. His mother would know; it was her loss, after all.

He wiped away a tear, remembering his father’s ill-fated words to the Aunts. Pippin had listened from the hall as he was supposed to be abed, and no wonder.

Paladin had told Eglantine the sleepy sheep joke, but Eglantine hadn’t laughed. He repeated the joke now. Aunt Amber sighed. “No wonder she didn’t with such a dead pan delivery.”

Who knew frying pans could die?

*snicker* Your Pip is so literal minded, it's adorable. (I still laugh over the "nec-romancer", LOL!)

And he also thought ferment was mint with fur. :P

He does tend to be overly literal at times, and it's such fun when he is. :D

Thanks for reading, dear.
