The twittering of the birds in the trees woke Eamane from her long sleep. The rumbling of her stomach reminded her that she was no longer at home and had not eaten since yesterday morning. She could smell bread baking nearby and went in search of it. The smell was coming from the Green Dragon Inn,only a step from where she had slept.
When setting out on her journey the day before,she had been in a hurry and had left her food behind. The country she had been traveling in had not provided a resting place all day. She had fallen down under a tree in fatigue and hunger at nightfall.
She went inside and was ushered to a table and brought coffee. The women who brought it said her name was Aman and she was the innkeeper of the Green Dragon. A hobbit came and took her order for breakfast.
