Details of Merry and Pippin from "Scouring of the Shire"

Then the hobbits suddenly realized that people had looked at them with amazement not out of surprise at their return so much as in wonder at their gear. They themselves had become so used to warfare and to riding in well-arrayed companies that they had quite forgotten that the bright mail peeping from under their cloaks, and the helms of Gondor and the Mark, and the fair devices on their shields, would seem outlandish in their own country.
The hobbits really had grown up! They had been through so much in just one year! They were actually seasoned warriors now! Hobbits just weren't the fighting type and to see Frodo, Sam, Pippin and Merry arrive dressed as such must have really sparked their curiosity!
Do you think Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin were as surprised by the Breelanders' reaction to them as the Breelanders were to their battle gear?
If you had lived in Bree, what do you think your reaction would have been to these returning warriors?
Would you have been fearful, glad to see someone who could take a stand against the gangrels, or just curious?
