Collette drew herself up regally and prepared to announce that she was part of the company that had escorted him to this acclaimed sanctuary (and Collette believed it), but instead she mustered her wits and bit her prideful tongue and replied "Collette Took.A friend."
Simple and hobbit-like.
The healer looked down to her as if to read her thoughts, for there were many flying around her in such a state of anxiousness.
But at last, he nodded curtly, a hint of a smile playing his face with an emotion unknown.
Collette trounced along behind the elves in a gleeful, victorious rush. To be helping, finally doing more than what others thought her to be capable of, and at the same time be helping someone who had grown near and dear to them all, was one of the greatest rewards she would ever re-account in her lifetime.
<<How very kind and courteous of you fifth! I told you i had been puttering about in dictionaries!>>
