"How did you get so clean and so dry so fast?" she asked him. her eyes widened. "Was it magic? Will you show me?" Suddenly she hesitated. "Or did you just have clean clothes? Am I being silly?"

He smiled at her. "You're not silly." he answered, avoiding her other questions.

"You're a liar!" she said to him and sat on the end of his bed.
"What?" he asked, shock on his face.
"I am silly. Very silly." she said, and hit him lightly on his arm.

Jumping up she ran over to the window. "You have a nice view." she said to him.
"What of?" he asked, following her.
"I don't know, it's dark!"
"Yes, you are silly. Silly Ellie" he said fondly.

Silly Ellie! What are you doing? The elderly Hobbit looked at her with disdain. I took you in and this is how you repay me? Silly, stupid girl.
Ellie shook her head, trying to clear the memories.
'Silly Ellie, silly Ellie!' The chants of the other children echoed in her head as they passed in a circle around her. 'Silly Ellie, silly Ellie'
A sob escaped her, then another.

"Are you alright?" asked Drago concernedly.

"F-fine" she stuttered, but the sobs were coming quicker now. Finally she let herself go, and slowly sank to the floor crying.
