[Samwise]

Sam and Frodo were still talking when Stacey came in. Sam looked up.

Sam: Miss Stacey, good morning! You gave me a bit of a scare, there.

Stacey smiled apologetically.
Stacey:Sorry.

Primrose woke up then.
Prim: What's going on? Papa?

Sam: I'm right here, Tiny Rose.
He looked at Stacey again.
Sam: You looked as if you were thinkin' about somethin', Miss Stacey.

Stacey thought some more.
Stacey: Eh...Sam, you and Frodo know the Elf Lady, don't you?

Sam nodded, feeling embarrassed again at having forgotten.

Primrose piped up then.
Prim: Oh, Papa, could you take me to meet her? It would be like meeting Galadriel almost. Please?

Stacey blinked.

Sam: Why sure, Tiny Rose, I don't see why not. Mister Frodo, would you come with us?

Stacey blinked again. How simple had that been?
Stacey: Eh...good idea. I'll go with you another time--no offense to the Lady, but she makes me a tad uncomfortable.

Sam: [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Why so?

Stacey: Well, unless I've counted wrong, I'm the only human on this ship--at least without some kinda magical powers-- and she's not only an Elf, she's...er, royalty. I mean, I feel out of place, but she really makes me feel out of place.

Sam: Well, all right. What do you say, Mister Frodo? After we freshen up shall we go?
