Hedgar didn't take heed to what was said, he was more busy having a little 'father vs son' fight with Fippi. Hedgar's son gave a short laugh when he hit his father in his stomach. In Fippi's slender arm there weren't exactly mucles yet. Therefore, it didn't really hurt. Hedgar in fact, could hardly feel it.

Hedgar noticed a little Hobbit jumping down from a bench. He came towards Hedgar, who was still 'fighting' with his son. Fippi stopped looking up at his father then turning his head to this stranger.

Hedgar gave a nod, introducing himself. "Berilac here," the Hobbit replied with a big smile around his face.

"This is your family?" Berliac asked. Hedgar nodded again. He got his wife attention, introducing herself, also. It was hard getting her to other thoughts when she had been here, Hedgar had noticed. After all, she was very excited about this. "Fippi," Their son said, without any further information. "That's my boy," Hedgar assured Berliac proudly.

As they stood talking, Berliac wondered how Hedgar and his wife felt about the fact that the Big Folk and The Hobbits were to work together. Hedgar was just about yo express his feelings towards this, but wasn't able to, because of this man's sudden question. "Could you take over, organizing; putting the torches up at the back of the Square?" Hedgar agreed and Fippi wanted to follow, but Rosie insisted on having him with her.

Carefully they: Hedgar and Barliac, walked to the very front of the crowd. So many Big Folks, Hedgar thought stepping as hard as he could on one of The Big Folk's foot. He won't notice me anyway, Hedgar thought. He was right too, the man didn't even look down.

"Okay, we need ore torches in the back!" Barliac announced. He pointed towards the direction where Hedgar's son and wife stood. "I'll do it," Hedgar answered, taking unlightened torches in his hands.
