[Child of the 7th Age]

Child looked into her little collection of mathoms. There didn't seem to be anything there that would suit the young Mistress Greenhand. She wanted something special, something that a young hobbit girl would remember with fondness.

Child dug deep into her pack where she carried her special treasures. These were things that her own family had given her, some of them handed down from one generation of hobbits to the next. Her fingers felt the chain and locket that she was searching for. She drew it out of the pack.

It was very old and simple,at least by hobbit standards, a silver band to be fastened about the neck with a heart attached. Child had gotten this from her own mother when she was quite young. Many of her other pieces she had gladly given to her own son and daughter. But this special piece still remained. She wrapped it in a scrap of velvet, and wrote Daisy's name on the outside. Then she took it to place on a table on the deck where others were also leaving their gifts.

She hoped Daisy would understand that it was given with much love from one hobbit to another, a gesture of kindness that the young girl had experienced all too few times in her own short life.
