At the moment Penn went to hand Pip over to the Dwarves,the door opened and closed and a figure walked in.Pip who did not like to be held struggled and knocked over Penn's ale on his way back to his bag.Merr was content for the time being to sleep sprawled on her lap,until the ale from the table began to drip on his head.He yawned, opened his eyes and waddled back to the bag as well.

Penn jumped up."Oh I am so sorry." she said as she raced to the bar to fetch a cloth.The man that had entered caught her eye for a moment.Penn smiled and hurried back to the table to clean up the spill.Her attention had slipped as it often did away for a moment and she had forgotten what they were talking about...

"Uuummm..Did you ask me a question? the ale had distracted me for a moment,"But her distraction was not the ale it was the man that sat alone at a booth that had distracted her.There was something about him,he looked a little.... lost maybe? She did not know.Penn covered her face again with a mug of ale,downing all it's contents, letting out a slight burp.She blushed again.Maybe this ale was getting to her.She tossed her hair in an excuse to get another look at the man.then again lifted ,yet another ale to her lips.

Maybe it was the behavior of Pip's mad dash to the bag that made her look twice at the man or maybe it was something in his eyes that told her he didn't want to be noticed.Penn turned her attetion to the Dwarves once again."I guess Pip does not wish to be held".she said with a shrug."Come on master Dwarves I think I am up on you."Penn laughed as she looked down at the empty ale glasses.a bit too loud,for more guests were starting to stare.
