A group of Snowhobbits stood loosely in a circle, with a pretty little lass in the center, laughing, and another Snowhobbit -- Tem-- outside the ring. They were singing.

Levanto, Levanto,
Silly, sorry Merman, He!
Pursuing Piosenniel
Away across the sea.

Tem dodged into the circle as the lass dodged out, and there followed a merry chase, in and out of the circle, with the Snowhobbits roughly fending Tem off, and the lass skipping and laughing and tossing her head. When Tem finally won through and threw himself onto his knees in front of the lass, she melodramatically pushed him backwards, and he collapsed onto the ground with a wail of despair, hands crossed over his (presumably shattered) heart as the group laughed and applauded. Then Tem joined the circle, and it was Tocca's turn. The lass sparkled with glee.

Lindo laughed and shook his head, wondering whether it was wise to be laughing over Levanto's heartbreak, whoever he was, and then decided he was being far too serious. But the name Piosenniel he knew.

He glanced over at Nitir, who had her hand over her mouth, giggling. He looked again, and saw that she was weeping as she giggled, tears streaming down her face. But she giggled on. Maura clearly did not know what to do.

Neither did Lindo, so he watched the game.
