Ruth looked around the common room. Everyone was talking to someone. Two newcomers were talking in the corner though they both looked rather grim. Laurie had been talking to a young boy until she was interupted by Cami and Rie was chatting to a young hobbit lass.

She'd been pouring tea all day and was honestly sick of it. She put down the teapot on the counter in the kitchen and pulled of her apron and hung it on the little hooks on the wall.

Walking over to pio she told her she'd had enough and was taking a break, then she ordered a glass of red wine and sat at a table by the window. Her thought wondered to her homeland and then she remembered why she had left it.

'No, don't think about it. Not now...' She said to herself softly, a small tear running down her pale cheek. The server with the wine came up and she hastily wiped away her tear and thanked the bar maid.
