The White Horse

[Auriel Haevasawen]

Radagast had taken on a manic grin since sampling the foul tasting liquid proffered to him by Mattius. "Of course, dear girl, of course. You lead and I'll follow!" He then burped loudly, leaving the others shaking their heads.

"Are we sure he's of the Istari?" Endereth laughed.

"He was once," said Mattius very seriously and then a cheery smile crossed his face, "He still is I'm just trying to get him drunk while we're holed up here. He was the one who mentioned mischief!"

Calentoliel giggled. "I think you've spent too much time alone together in the wild. It's time we brought some sanity back into your world."

"Sanity? With you two?" Mattius laughed so hard that tears began to trickle down his cheeks and he drew the attention of others in the pub. "Manwe preserve us from sanity bringing it's blight upon our plans. Friends are what we need, not restraint. Now pass me that bottle. Methinks Radagast can stomach another."
