Faced with 22 shelves of bottles, Child was having second thoughts. She looked at Stacey and shook her head. "Do you really think we should be stealing one of these bottles?"

Stacey glared at her in disbelief, "You were one of that gang who wanted to steal the REG and hold it for ransom. How could you possibly question my efforts to help Sam?"

Child grimaced: "I'm not questioning your efforts. I have no problem with a bit of burglary. We hobbits are quite good at that. Even Frodo, though he doesn't always admit it. Just get him to talk to you about his techniques for stealing mushrooms."

Child continued: " It's not the "borrowing" I'm concerned about. We just don't seem to have the skill or knowledge to use these bottles the way they're supposed to be used."

Cirdan's angry visage suddenly broke into the room, "If I were either of you, I would take your hands off that bottle. I've never had this kind of mischief on my ship before. No, I take that back. There was that time I had a very full ship, and that crazy horse Shadowfax got loose. But at least Gandalf was able to bring him under control."

Cirdan continued: "Now, to tell the truth, I was ready to throw you two hobbits and this woman into one of the brigs under the deck, but there is one Elf on board who has as contrary opinion. That Elf resides in the West, but he had received special permission to attend a birthday party of some sort and was now returning to his residence on Elvenhome. He claims you helped him escape from some very frenzied and crazed female persons who ran after him at this party. So he is willing to speak up on your behalf."

"Moreover, this Elf has acquired skills in healing, and is an old friend of both Samwise and Frodo. It may be that he is willing to come to the aid of these two valiant Ringbearers. And it appears that, at least for now, you Child, and Stacey and Rose have escaped from the brig."

Rose glanced at Child and whispered a single name under her breath: "Legolas!"
