Alaklondewen took a deep breath and jammed half he pin into Chicken's behind. A noise came from Chicken the likes of which had never been heard in Middle Earth (and never would again), and he jumped a good 5 feet in the air.
The entire Hall got quiet and the music stopped. Several people were startled from their sleep.
However, Menelien, Sophia, and Alaklondewen sat with faces of innocence.
"What's up with Chicken?" Alaklondewen asked. She winked at her partners in crime.
When Chicken hit the floor, he began running madly around the room squawking and holding on to his derriere. Feathers were flying.
