Rolan sighed as he packed his things. He couldn't wait to get back to Minas Tirith. Mostly he spent the holiday in Belfalas talking with his sisters or reading Asta's books.
Rolan had always been rather quiet. It wasn't that he had nothing to say, only he didn't think anyone really wanted to hear it. Did it really matter what he thought? Even if someone really listened, they usually didn't understand what he meant or why he thought something. Either that, or they didn't agree at all with him.
Rolan hardly would call the past few days a real vacation, considering all the noise Linde made around the clock! Just when Rolan thought he was going to have a nice, quiet vacation, his adorable new neice decides to cry and throw a fit every twenty minutes for no reason. She was an adorable baby, though. Obviously got her looks from their side of the family.
Rolan loved his family though. Anyone could hear what Rolan said, but his family listened to what he said. Rolan would do anything for his family.
Rolan looked around his room, and let out a slight 'Aha!' when he found the book he had been reading. It was Asta's, but he borrowed it from her a few days back. He walked out of his room, hoping he could catch Asta before she finished packing.
When he got to Asta's room, Asta was organizing everything she needed to pack. In between packing this and that, Asta would pick up Linde and cradle her.
"I came to return the book I borrowed," Rolan said quietly, getting his older sister's attention.
