I smiled at the thought of Arwen keeping Aragorn safe, but I could believe it. Yet, when he asked what to do, I was stumped. I wanted to help the Shire, but I never thought about how to do it. I just warned people and had them make decisions. But I knew that I couldn't keep doing that, and needed to do something myself. "I don't know," I said, anyways, "You can go in the Shire, so maybe you can help warn them, and prepare them for what might happen, or something. I don't know. I never really thought of what the people I found might do, I just know I can't save the Shire on my own."

![]() ic: I sat at the heavy wooden table and listened to every mumble or loud gesture of the drunk Breelanders that I could. My hearing, I knew, was not as accurate as that of ragorn but I tried the best I could . I took a sip from my mug of sider and could only hear loud singing and some tale telling from foriegn dwarves dressed to go.
Then raragorn lightly touched my shoulder and pointed out a small group of hobbits sitting beside a tall man with an ugly mustache and an evil grin. The hobbits ldid not look much better and seemed to be whispering to him and laughing to themselves. I could only catch alittle of what they said but knew that Aragorn would fill me in on the rest in our room. "Those stupid hobbits they icked to be the leaders of the Shire are complete fools i tell ye. They can't even keep a wolf out and are still worried about little foxes eating their birds. It would be easy to take them over. But for our service you will need..." At that moment a man started to dance on the table swinging a mug about causing his beer to spill all over the place. I was angry that I ghad missed that last bit of information but saw that ragorn was beckoning me to come back to the room with him and understood that he had caught what the hobbit had said.

"We think that some evil men are coming from the North to attack the Shire. We don't have enough people to hold them off or turn them back or, if the worst happens, we have to kill them. I don't want to kill anyone, no matter how evil they are. We were thinking that maybe you could help us with that?"

![]() ic: Once in our room I sat down on the bed and started to stroke my dogs head as Aragorn paced silently.
"So what do you make of them?" I asked him. "We don't know how many are in their league to know how many men we are dealing with." He replied still pacing. "I think we should have followed them to see if we could pin -point where they live so we can see if they have any meetings with anyone else." "Pin-point?" he questioned. "To locate or find out where he lives." I answered. He then turned his gaze to the window and signaled for me to come look. I followed his gaze and found that two men where lurking in the darkness and talking silently to each other. They entered the barn to get their horses or to find a more private space, I guessed to myself. "We will follow." Aragorn said as he set off towards the door. I followed silently and motioned for the dog to stay where he was. We followed the two men and krept into the barn. we hid behind a large horse that was tied out of its stable for the stables were full tonight. The two men talked rapidly then unhitching their horses they passed us and set off through the open barn door. We waited until there was a fair distance between us and the men then proceeded to follow. We where led through the dark streets now empty of the day time dwellers and followed through the narrow cobble roads to a small section of the village where apartment looking houses stood side by side. The houses were tall and haunting in the night shadows. The men entered one of the houses that seemed to be hiden well within the shadows and lit a candle within. Aragorn left a mark beside the house. A small elvish leaf made of silver and green coloured metal. He placed it on one of the street torches and we left to sleep for the night.

Fimbren nodded. "Of course, how many do you think you might need? I can give you a legion of 100!"

"A hundred!! That's more than I expected. But what can we do? We've never learned to wield a sword or shoot a bow and arrow. Those aren't very common talents at home." I smiled nervously.

![]() I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the soft pillow.
"What a long day", I muttered to myself. Aragorn stayed up and watched the sat in front of the window silently gazing the the starts and the night dwellers of Bree. "So when do you think the others wil be coming back?" I asked. "Soon." He answered. "Tommorow we will go back to that house and see who lives there. Its safer to go during the day so we don't appear like spies and can get more information." He continued. "Okay. Good night." I fell asleep.

"Well", Fimbren smiled, "You won't have to, that is what my soldiers are for."

"But what will I do? I don't want to just tag along like a piece of luggage." I thought of Merry calling himself a "bag" in RotK.

I smiled. "Thanks. That sounds good." I thought for a minute, then added "When are we going?"

I smiled, after a while of being silent. "That would be great!! Thank you sooo much for all your help!!"

"That would be fine," I said. "I don't think that you would need to come with us."
OOC: I would, but I wan't think of anything he'd say. ![]()

OOC: I would post for you, but I can't always think of what you'd say, and I don't want to make the important decisions for you. I wouldn't bug you so much otherwise, and I am sorry about that. I really should do something about my impatience.
IC: I smiled. "Whatever you think is best sounds good, as long as we can help the Shire." We finally finished the conversation, and I settled down to sleep, dreading getting up early, though I had done it a lot recently. I HATE mornings.

The next morning, I woke up before dawn when with someone shaking my shoulder. I looked up sleepily into the elf's eyes. He told me that we should get up, as we were leaving soon. I sat up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, and I saw Keita doing the same.
