"Oh, it was definitely an attack. A clever leading feint, " he nodded at the oldest lad, and then gestured at the young boys "followed by a quick skirmish against my flank. I assure you I was quite taken off my guard. In fact, I-- ooof!" Ban gave an especially energetic squirm, kicking LinGalad in the ribs.

"I told you to be careful with Ban, he's easy to drop!" snapped the teenage hobbit. "Give him to me right now!"

LinGalad wasted no time surrendering the child, and then shot the teenager an irritated look. But no sooner had he sighed with relief than a larger child clambered onto his lap and stood up, gazing in his face. "I'm Asta," he announced, and then turned to Arafangwen. "Hi, Elf-Lady! What's your name? You're very pretty!"

Meanwhile, another two elves approached and spoke. LinGalad glanced at Arafangwen, who smiled. "Please do join us, and welcome," LinGalad said, as Asta rattled off several more questions. LinGalad tried to think of something else to say that would be a little more elegant, but there was another hobbit-child clambering up onto his shoulders at the moment and he could think of little else. He glanced at Arafangwen beseechingly, hoping that she would cover for him and say something polite.
