Fin mused for a second before replying.
"The plan is good, as far as it goes! But we musn't be rushing into it. Capturing and slaying is the final piece in the hunt. Firstly we must gather together all the information we have on them. Their rough areas of concentration, their attack methods, etc. Another problem we face is that they can smell us! We need to make sure that we are downwind of them when we finally do set the trap. And of course for that we need to know where they are coming from. We need to get into their mind!"
Fin finished and looked at the amazed Hobbit, Hamfast.
"I didn't know it would be so complicated, sir."
"Ah, it takes cunning and planing to capture your prey. Strength is not everything and even a Giant, strong as he is, could not catch a mouse, even if his life depended on it."
"Proverbs now is it Fin," Celeb chuckled at her male friend.
"My lady, your man is clever beyond us mere hobbits," Hamfast said in an awed voice.
"Celeb's Man friend?" thought Fin, "I like that!"
"Thank you sir for your advice," Hamfast said, backing away.
"A pleasure, my good Hamfast, and please...call me Fin."
