A scene set at the Entmoot.

Merry looked up at the evergreen trees which grew around the rim of the Ent's meeting place. The top branches that poked free of the hedge thrashed back and forth in the wind, while the lower branches swayed gently.

“I hope the Ents act like the top branches and move to a decision quickly,” said Merry.

“The sooner Saruman is defeated the sooner we can meet up with our friends,” said Pippin.

“If our friends are still alive.”

“I hope we live to see home again.”

They fell silent and desired to be hasty to drive their sorrows away with action.

I love this! There's a bittersweet mix of hope and fear to their thoughts. And the wait must have been very frustrating!

Such considerations could make anyone desire to be hasty!
At least they didn't have to wait as long as they might have.

It seems the Ents were on a fast track at that particular Entmoot!
