Short characterization footnote about Podo Cotton, regarding the clever plot twist where Olo finds a gold coin dropped out of Podo's money-box and spends it on new clothes for Bird: (Well done by piosenniel: and Birdland, btw!) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
If Podo were to find out what happened to his gold piece, he would be okay with it. If Olo had succeeded in getting Podo's attention and tried to return the gold piece, Podo would've just smiled and said, "Ah, keep it. Buy a round of drinks on me." A year ago at this time, Podo was a simple, honest country Hobbit whose biggest vice was thinking up practical jokes that he was always too chicken to put into practice, lest he be thought too adventurous. It was only after being approached by some Big Folk just outside Gondor some months ago that Podo decided to increase his profit by selling all his tobacco to an anonymous buyer, carrying extra cargo, and not asking questions.
