Collette looked down at the bread and cheese that she still clutched in her hands, as if she were using every bit of self control she had not to start eating it right then and there. " I tryed to go back.but instead they just posted a death warrant for me, so ive been living here for quite some time. sometimes living in alleys, sometimes under trees, right now im living under my cloak, and i am getting chased as an "acclaimed" thief! Its noot like it going to a bad cause! i gotta eat!"
She was quite right, as thengise stared at her. not the friend she used to remember, a plump cheery hobbit , but now a gaunt and skinny, unearthly skinny hobbit.
Collette stared at her food with longing. " im quite hungry do you mind horribly if i eat in front of you?"
Thengise smiled. she still hadnt lost her manners.
