Rirrym smiled in thanks as the hobbit lass came and brought plates full of food. "They certainly don't starve you here," he said with a chuckle.
He paid the waitress and took a bite of the toast before answering Cromthal's question. "I just turned 20 about a month ago," he said. "And I'm glad you filled me in on the fact that it's your birthday -- it's good to have something to celebrate every once in a while. And it's better to celebrate here among such kindly folk than out in the wilds, believe me."
Rym looks down at the table uneasily as he remembers his last birthday before sighing and eating a bacon strip. "Have you got any plans for how you'd like to spend your birthday?" Rirrym asked, trying to change the topic subtlely.
