'With you on what?' came a voice from the doorway of the stable. Backlit by the morning sun, the person's shadowed features were indistinguishable. Holly groaned inwardly when she recognized the tall,lean figure and the authoritarian way in which he stood.

Olo stepped forward to speak, and the Hobbit grabbed his hand, pulling him back beside her. 'Volondil!' she said warmly. 'We were just discussing whether Bird would be joining us or going her own way. You'll be happy to know she'll be in safe escort with the rest of us.'

She saw Olo frown at her, and she turned to him, smiling sweetly. 'I haven't had my breakfast yet. What say we go find a little something and go down to the river's edge to eat. Perhaps enjoy a pipe before we have to be on the road.' She turned back toward the Ranger, noting the small smile that played along his lips. 'And no, Volondil, you don't have to shadow us. We won't go far. We'll be fine!'

She winked at Bird as she hurried Olo out the door.

'Miss Bird'll keep you company for a while!'
