[Roa_Aoife]

Roa noted Snaveling's quick exit, and felt a tinge of worry. She quickly brushed it aside. Why should I concern myself? Galadel was following him, anyway, so if anything was wrong, the elf could surely handle it.

There was a large commotion in the room-- apparently someone had fainted. Roa was about to see if she could help when a young Hobbit lass stood up in front of the scene and called out about the Party plans. Instead of walking to aid the young woman, who seemed to be in more than enough capable hands, she walked to see the placard. Hmm.... I have nothing to cook, and I have no instruments. I suppose I shall help with the decorations as I told Toby.

"I can help with the decorations and the planting, miss," Roa told her, "If only you will point me in the right direction." Some labor would get her mind off her troubles. It seemed the sorrow and cares that so often addorn her kin was taking her as well. No, I will not give in to grief, she thought stubbornly and forced a pleasant smile as she went where she was directed.
