Roa frowned at Snaveling's tone. She knew he disliked her people, and she also knew he did not enjoy being held under her eye. Well, I suppose he has a right to dislike it. I should release him... Roa dismissed the thought. She did not know why, but she did not wish to release him, not yet. After all, he was a thief, and she did want to keep him out of trouble. However, that mocking tone irritated her. Fine then, we can settle that matter...
"You need not refer to me with such formality. Simply call me Roa. And that goes for you as well, Toby," she added as she turned to the hobbit. "I consider you both friends, now. We should address each other as such." Roa finished with genuine worth. She did not know when the change had occured, but they were both her friends now, as were Galadel and Val. Even Snaveling, though he was shady at best, had her friendship.
"Now then, where were we?" Toby continued on with his tale, and Snaveling looked rather startled. Roa smiled inwardly. It was a great deal of fun to catch him off-guard, though she could not say why.
