The Green Dragon Inn - Part 3

[the real findorfin]

Fin was taken aback by Huntress' confession of her name. he was deeply honoured. He was about to respond when a hobbit fell toward him. Wine accompanied the halfling and Fin found himself covered. Farothwen laughed as Fin cried out.
The Hobbits tried to clean him up and Fin could not help but see the funny side. When they eventually asked to sit, he was laughing and he hoped they now felt at ease.
"It is only a set of clothes, my hobbit aquaintances," he stated.
When they told him their names, Fin's memory was prodded and he was taken back to his first visit to the Green Dragon.
"I believe we have met?" he cried.
"Us?" Gaddy asked.
"Yes, it was the time when Bullroarer was in here."
"I remember," shouted Hal, happily.
"That makes a change," Gaddy muttered.
"Well, let me introduce you to my new acquaintance," Fin offered, "meet...Huntress."

She smiled affectionately as he used her pseudonym and he smiled back, winking.

"So, I was just about to ask where you are headed, my dear," he continued, "and you, Gaddy and Hal, what brings you here."
