[Imladris]

Lira rose from her table and, after bidding Esgallhugwen farewell, began to seek for the Innkeeper. She had seen the Innkeeper and a man disappear inside the kitchen and she began to wander there, silently drifting by the busy tables. Soon, she found herself before the doorway of the kitchen and, glancing inside, she saw a hobbit and a fair young lady conversing, a man brushed by her in haste, and a man and a woman, whom she recognized as the Innkeeper, were slicing vegetables and bread.

Lira, who was rather shy for an elf, tried to decide if she should wait for the Innkeeper to become free or just interrupt her now. Lira groaned as she considered that it might be better to interrupt their conversation instead of waiting...she may not have another chance to offer her services. Slowly, softly, she crept towards their table and discovered that there as a lull in the conversation between the Inn-keeper and the man. "Do you need help with anything, Mistress Inn-keeper, especially with the rumors of the goblin-men?" she asked in her fair voice.
