"Hello?" Coughed Fáinu, "Oh, it's you. Hello again... I don't know why I decided to smoke. I gave up recently." he shook his head and beckoned her to sit. Putting out his pipe he replaced it in his pack and then looked back up at her.

"Sorry I had to go off like that," he said, "I needed to find a friend of mine. He's a Dwarf, and has strange ways, I found him drunk in the Ivy bush Tavern." He offered her a drink but she already had one. He then took out some seeds and offered them to Avalon. The crow hopped down and ate them gladly.

"Now, to business," he said, "First I must apologise, my words earlier were rash and unjust. I am truly sorry for any hurt I caused you with them." He peered about the room and saw that several Hobbits were dancing and singing, some old Gaffers told them to be quiet, but they sang all the same, with half remembered lyrics to several different (and unrelated) melodies.

"I will not lie to you, Cree," said Fáinu leaning forward; "There has been a great foreboding on my heart for a long while. Ever since I came to the shire, I fear something is not right. But I know not what it may be."

Avalon squawked loudly and the singing Hobbits stopped. Avalon obviously thought they could do with singing lessons. The Hobbits soon went back to their tables and sat in bewilderment.
