Cygnus sits silently at the bar feeding the reminants of his meal to his companion, Tran'oul, a cat. The young hobbit that had been petting the cat left to find something better to do.

Cygnus raises himself up slowly from the chair takes his room key from the counter and heads for the stairs. He starts to climb the stairs and stips and falls to the stairs with a bang, attracting glances from all in the inn. He staggers to his feet and limps up the stairs, looking very much like a skeleton.

He crosses the hall to his room and opens the door and collapses on the bed then slowly raises himself and opens his pack. Taking out a wilted dead rose he puts it in a vase on the night table and smells it, seeming to get a boost of energy he stands up and stretches and starts to unload books from his bag
