Olo scrambled to his feet as Bird approached. 'Ms Bird!' he said, smiling 'Good to see you up and about!' He offered her a hand to help her seat herself beneath the tree, and then offered his bag of leaf and an extra pipe to her.
'May I offer you something to drink?' he said, holding out his leather flask to her, once she had gotten her pipe filled and lit.
She looked at him in surprise.
He laughed, and assured her, 'It's only the good,sweet water from the Inn's well! Nothing more!'
