Sadbh's forehead wrinkled as she considered the posibility. Had her horse gotten ahold of walnuts? She tried to remember if it could have been possible. Or maybe, the wood of the tree... Slowly, she gave a tentitive answer.
"Yesss... it might have been possible..." Her rpely was at most, unsure. "He was cribbing on a tree the other night, perhaps it was that..." Once more she racked her brain. "Yes, I'm almost sure." Pictures of the tree came back and she felt assured in answer, but fearful. "Is there anything that I could use to help him?" She wrapped her arms loosley around the gelding's withers.
Now Deorlin considered the possibility. Suddenly an Elfess appeared at the stable door leading a limping horse. She handed the reigns to a pale haired hobbit and strode to the inn. She thought it strange that an elf should be in the Shire. Then she supposed it was no stranger than she herself being in the Shire. She turned back to the pondering Deorlin and asked again, anxiously, "So did you thinkl of something?"
