Deva woke up only to find Peony already awake. That was no surprise to him she was almost always up and moving about before he was. He quickly got dressed and headed downstairs. The dwarf looked around and spotted Peony sitting at a table with an elf woman.
Deva wandered over to say good morning. "Deva!" Peony exclaimed, "Join us?"
"No, no, I will leave you to your friend, Peony." He nodded to Gwenneth to acknowledge her. "I will take my breakfast and meet up with you later in the day."
"Would you like to join us on a ride?" Peony asked.
Deva just shook his head and walked off.
Peony returned her attention to Gwenneth. "Both your parents are travellers? My mother would never travel the lands, she has never even set foot outside of Gondor." Peony pulled her hair out of its ponytail letting it fall back into her face.
"Sorry about Deva being so unsocialable. Once he's eaten he'll be in a better mood."
