Piosenniel- Thank you very much for the save!!

I am really sorry for my long absence, it's been hectic over here. This weekend won't exactly be better, but I'll try to post. Anyway, if you see that my character is needed, and I am not here, please do set up a save. I will fill it in as soon as possible.

Piosenniel- Here is my post for the save you set up for me. (Thank you, thank you, thank you!) Let me know if it needs editing!

Hedgar

Hedgar paced around nervously in the hallway. In about half an hour, Berliac would be here, to pick him up. The hobbit grinned, he had actually volunteered for this. Hedgar shrugged, not believing this, not one bit. He heard footsteps of his wife, coming from the kitchen. She had been escorting some children to the school this morning, and had just come home. She handed Hedgar a cup of tea, when she found him in this nervous state. "Here you go, dear," she said cheerfully. Rosie was very excited about this, and she seemed to be pleased by Hedgar's 'new-positive' attitude towards the situation.

The male hobbit settled down in his chair, but raised soon, Berliac was here. He said his farewells to his wife, and made his way out, where he greeted Berliac with a firm handshake. The two hobbits left the hole and followed the road.

"So, do you think we'll manage to keep those bandits out of our town?" Hedgar asked, having a certain doubt in his tone. He could remember how he once had escaped from clutches of the Witch King. It had been a horrible time, where he had been afraid constantly. It was still tearing on him, in other words; it was not a very good memory. The worst part was that now something horrible was yet again threatening him. But this time he had a son and a wife, whom he both loved dearly; he had much more to lose now.

Berliac answered optimistically, eyeing out of the corner of his eyes, Hedgar's worried expression. The two of them walked on, changing the subject to something which concerned merrier things.

Hedgar grinned as they approached the South Gate, where some other Hobbits waited for them. The reparation of the hedge was about to begin.

"Some of the children will be here later this afternoon. They are currently at school," Berliac announced. "But I guess we'll have to try to get something done while we're waiting for them.." he continued. They had a good laugh; everyone was getting in the right mood to help this town being prepared for whatever was lurking there, on the outside.
