[Barodir]

It was around noon. Barodir had to leave now, or he'd never make it in time.

He stood up, without saying a word and left out the door. He got his horse and took off down the road the way Pio told him to.

"I wonder if I shall ever return to this fair establishment?" he pondered. "I must stay focused though. I must return to Minas Tirith in time!"

And with that, he rode away over the hill and out of the Shire.

Barodir's story shall continue, after I get a good idea of what to do. Maybe he'll return in a few "days". We shall see...
