Lily was quite relieved when the woman who introduced herself as Ferran and smiled. Lily felt much less like she was intruding on their conversation. So, she thought, Now what? Lily realized that though she had spent several hours with Willow last night, she knew virtually nothing about the other hobbit and, of course, having just met Ferran knew absolutely nothing about her, leaving Lily at a loss as to where to begin conversation. She brushed a stray wisp of chestnut colored hair behind her ear out of habit and straightened her light blue dress. The silence was starting to make her uncomfortable. She decided to start with what she knew.

"So, besides playing the fiddle, what else do you enjoy doing?" she inquired of Willow. "And Ferran, what are your hobbies?" She had her fingers crossed under the table that they would have enough common ground that they could carry on a conversation.
