Aidan watched as Regin walked away. He had only seen a dwarf once before, and that was at an inn in Bree. He had'nt spoken to the Bree Dwarf, since he had no reason or desire. But after speaking to Regin, whom he saw as quite a friendly fellow, he looked on dwarves in a new light.
Now Aidan turned as a newcomer came to speak to Aman. She was a slender young girl with green eyes and blond hair. Aidan saw she was distressed, and watched as she spoke with Aman. Aman went off with Reign (he'd caught her name in the conversation), leaving Aidan by himself in the busy common room. Now what to do? he thought to himself.
Taking his half-empty mug with him, Aidan left the common room to fashion beams for the building. He wished to start out simple, and that seemed like the job requiring least skill. He found a pile of logs outside the remainder of the building, and some woodworking tools on the ground as well. Hoping they belonged to no one in particular, he began shaping and sanding down the logs. Aidan had no trouble, but began to feel lonely after a little bit. He hoped someone might come and join him, for he felt in need of a friend.
