Lily was puzzled by her own frustation. Why am I so irritable all of a sudden? she wondered. Another peal of thunder rolled in. Lily shuddered almost imperceptibly. She hated thunderstorms. That must be it. The rain. And the late night yesterday evening. Willow's probably as tired as you. No wonder she dozed off! Lily took another sip of tea, hoping the warm drink would help. Tea was usually very soothing, but her mood was still a bit cloudly, like the sky. Still, she tried to remain friendly and not let it show.
"I left Bree, oh, 10 days ago," said Lily, smiling. "I only arrived in Hobbiton yesterday evening. I'll probably be staying for a week or so. Maybe longer or shorter. I really don't have any plans for my trip to the Shire. What about you three? How long will you be staying?" Lily asked, as if she had not already. She figured Willow hadn't heard that part either. She took another sip of tea and brushed back the same wisp of hair that she had gotten out of her way earlier. Calm down she told herself. No need to be so edgy. It's only a little thunder. Just relax, and enjoy your chat.
