Alrik lifted his head up, after the innkeeper greeted him, "just put on some eggs for me....Oh, and a cup of tea." The inkeeper nodded and walked away; Alrik got a funny feeling in his stomach. He sat for a while, with his head down on the table. Then another man approached.

"Good day and well met. I am Eodwine of the Gap, messenger of King Eomer." Alrik looked up, he hadn't intended on attracting this much attention. He simply wanted to deliver the message his father gave him. He was to find Fastrod and give him the message. At first Alrik acted like he was just going to ignore the man, then he decided it was best not to, "Alrik," he replied.

"You seem somewhat familiar to me, Alrik. Of course, I travel much for the King of Rohan, and may have seen you anywhere from Pelargir to Bree! Or was it the war?" Eodwine asked. "Do I perhaps know you from the war? I was with the muster of Rohan to Pelennor, and then at the Gates of the Morannon with King Elessar. Were you also in one of those battles?"

Alrik began to move nervously in his seat. He barely knew the man, but yet he wanted to know about his past? Alrik replied irritably, in attempts that the man would leave, "I served under Forlong from Lossarnach. I'm sorry, but you don't look familiar." There was an awkward pause, which was what Alrik was intending. Then lo and behold! comes another man! Alrik was beginning to get quite irritated by all these people. They whispered something between the two of them, clearly it wasn't ment for Alrik's ears, so he didn't pay any attention.

He was about to move down a couple seats, when a woman approached. She began to talk merrily, not with Eodwine, but with the other. Obviously they hadn't seen eachother for a while, and were pleased to have met again. Alrik heard her say "the two of them," and figured he wasn't one of the two, so he began to walk down towards the end. He sat down, away from the commotion and chatting. He began to look frustrated. Where was his food? He had only ordered some eggs.
