Mattius has just left Hobbiton.

"So Radagast was right I see," said Mattius making his way over to his old comrade. "He said you would come."

"Radagast!" Exclaimed Calen, "He is here?"

Mattius nodded to her,

"Aye, and Endereth too nonetheless. It is good to see you again!" The two elves embraced each other before drawing back. Mattius breathed in heavily. "I assume you are here for the same reason as we are," he asked her in a whisper. Calen seemed to read his mind and simply nodded. "Then you will find welcome coversation over the road at The Salty Tear then! For there is Radagast and Endereth as well as some new people for you to meet. I will be over there shortly, order me another ale and tell the landlord to put it on my tab will you!" With that Calen smiled, it certainly was Mattius, he seemed so much older and wiser but the enthusiasm still burnt brightly in his icey blue eyes. As Calentoliel made her way across the street Mattius turned to the female blacksmith. She handed him back his weapons which he stored accordingly.

"You just visited me in time," she hinted, "I am about to close up now."

Mattius raised an eyebrow and followed her mind.

"You are welcome to come over to the inn and help us if you would like, I know how it feels to loose a family member to murder. Vengence can drive you further than any other thing." He paused and thought of his dead parents before looking back up at the smith. "I am Mattius Firnlord good smith."

"And I am Anarya," she said simply.

The two of them with the help of Buck closed up the shop and as Buck wandered off home Anarya and Mattius walked across to the inn. Inside they were greeted by their numerous group.

LinGalad was scratching his head whilst conversing with Kalir who seemed to be having to spell out every word to the elf. Radagast talked in whispers with Endereth and Calentoliel whereas Avery and Ajada must have had another confrontation as they sat with arms folded like gargoyle statues, except when Ajada would suddenly write a short sentence on her paper in emphatic fashion.

"A strange group..." said Anarya.

"And people wonder why Rangers enjoy travelling alone." He turned to her, "what will you have to drink?"
