***Blue Mountains***
Serin beamed with pleasure as he noticed all the changes that had taken place within the group. It was a rare occasion when you could see a group of elves, dwarves, and hobbits in a city of men, and getting along together perfectly.
There is hope for us all, he thought, and continued talking to the hobbits about what they wanted out of the Audience.
The hobbits made a few jokes and comments about greater supplies of pipeweed, after the shortages near the end of the War of the Ring, and there was much jest.
Serin could not help but feel that the world of trading was for him. After all he had seen and done, and the races he had met, he desired to spend more time with them, and part of him longed to get back home and tell his fellow dwarves the same.
