The Green Dragon Inn - Part 3

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Elirien stepped into the inn, looking around over the heads of those already inside, being a tall enough Elf to do so, and seeing how many of the folk inside were hobbits. She wondered who owned the place, but, after looking around in vain for a few minutes and not seeing anything that might give her a clue, she sighed and sat down at an empty table in the corner. She did not speak to anyone, only listened to the lulling sound of conversation around her, sometimes rising to a roar, sometimes fading to a murmur, but always there. Always there....

Elirien realized that somebody was trying to wake her before her mind had even registered that she was asleep. She sprang up quickly, murmuring apologies to the woman who had just nudged her awake. "I am...err....sorry. Could I have a room here, please?" The woman gave a bubbling laugh. "Oh, I'm not the one you might ask. I was only thinking you may be wanting to get up now, seeing as you'd been asleep here for a few hours now, and on a wooden bench that mustn't be too comfortable. Oh, if you do want a room, you ask her. And, glancing back for a moment with a smile, the woman dissapeared again into the crowd. Elirien sighed, and began to make her way through to the other woman, keeping her mind on not bumping into anyone, but still wondering why she had come here in the first place.
