Two key sentences stand out - "I don't want to be in a battle." set against "I want to fight."
This post and the previous one remind me of how much I adore Pippin. The scene where he fights, for one thing -- after hours of trained warriors fighting and dying without batting an eye, we see Pippin standing there looking absolutely terrified. That moment and the moment when Eowyn pulls off her helmet were the (battle) parts that hit home the most for me. I like watching people kick ass, but I can identify with Pippin's moment of awkward fighting.
Oh, and thanks for pointing out the "Frodo and Sam" thing. I hadn't noticed, but I'm glad you did. *loves on Pippin*
