Huan smiled at the song of the hobbit. He applauded loudly from his place by the fireside. The hobbit went back to the Rohan girl he had been talking to and they chatted further. Huan puffed little rings of smoke for a while and sat deep in thought while he read an old book that was lying in his lap. The hobbit didn't make hesitation to sing another song and Huan stood up from his chair to get some more ale.
He once more made it for the bar. He could have asked one of the waiters, but he just wasn’t used to it. The hobbit was talking with the Rohan girl still as he arrived at the bar. Aman was busy tapping some mugs for the other customers so Huan turned to the hobbit and tossed a silver coin towards him.
"That was a fine song back there master Holbytla. One that deserves some credit other than applause I should say." Huan said with a kind smile.
The hobbit stared at the coin for a second and looked up to the big man. As hobbit manners go, he bowed his head.
"Thank you for you kind words sir."
"Just call me Huan. Might I put in a request for another song master Holbytla?"
