A brief conversation
"I'm - I'm afraid I never caught your name before, sir," said Andy, hoping he wasn't being rude by this tall stranger's standards. There weren't any men like this in Bree, and he wasn't sure what to do.
"It's Valdavar, lad," he replied, smiling slightly.
"Ah. Yes," said Andy. "Valdavar, Valdavar," he muttered to himself, hoping he would remember it and not embarrass himself later.
"So, lad, why do you want to come with us? I've been wondering all this time. It's not like small folk to want to go adventuring," said Valdavar.
"I really don't know," said Andy. "But I don't want to stay back in Bree, where nothin' ever happens - why, Galenwen singing last night, that was practically the most exciting thing to happen at the Inn all year! I want to do something exciting, not just stay in Bree all my life, if you get what I mean, sir."
"I do, I do," said Valdavar, and seemed lost in thought for a while.
