Awww, this is a sweet story, with the M/P psychic connection! Merry always knew where Pippin was, and Pippin always knew where Merry was. I love them!

And I just love mint, too, with anything really -- everything from chocolate to savoury foods. In fact, roast lamb with mint sauce (or jelly, or whatever) ... mmmmm! *stomach begins to rumble*
