[Judge Simon]

While the elf was talking with Radae, Shade began getting his horse ready, making sure that the saddle was tight when he felt a tugging on his sleeve.
Fae- I could use a hand here
Shade smiled lightly and helped the hobbit onto the pony. Shade turned to help Collette but instead Collette turned away from Shade and got herself on the pony with a fair amount of trouble.
Shade- You ok there?
Collette- Not any of your business is it?
Shade wondered at the hobbit's bitterness and then wondered if she had seen him last night in the second meeting he had with the dark one. He got onto his horse and rode up with the hobbits so that he was in between them
Fae-So Shade, where are you from?
Shade-Oh, I've lived so many places, I've never been anywhere long enough to call home.
Collette-[to herself]probably because he has warrents on his head...
