Travels Through Middle Earth(scripted)

[Fred Baggins]

ooc: Eh, same diff. kinda...

ic: Fran shrugs. "Eh, perhaps you've heard it before. Wouldn't surprise me frankly, tis not many females hobbits that take it into their head to travel Middle-Earth."

[Lubyla]

"True, true, now, how about we all go inside, it is a bit chilly out here."

[Fred Baggins]

ooc: This...is boring...I'm jumping ahead...

ic:*The next day all woke up to the singing of the birds, and the rising of the sun. Fran rolled over in her huge(for her) bed, and groaned. Aduial in a seperate room greated the sun with a smile, and a laugh. She felt quite nice this morning, and decided she was well enough to head downstairs.*

[Indril Anarion]

Idril opened her eyes as the bright sun streamed through her window. Today was a new day and she decided that she would set out soon.

"It is never wise to dwaddle in one place for too long," she said to herself.

She went downstairs and noticed that there were some people already up and about. She took a seat by a window and look out.

I wonder what new adventures today is going to bring, thought Idril.

[Fred Baggins]

The hobbit rolled out of bed and dragged herself downstairs. Catching sight of Idril she sat down at the table she was occupying. The innkeeper came over, and Fran gave her order. Turning to the elf she smiled widely. "Nothing like a cold glass of milk and a plate of mushrooms...and some cakes, and some tomatoes, and some tea, and an apple first thing in the morning to wake you up! I'm afraid we never got around to that talk last night."

*Aduial wandered down the stairs, and spotted the elf first thing. And the hobbit...and gapped.* "A...a...a hobbit and an elf, sittin' at a table talking away like they've always known each other...what's more...in the very same inn I happen to collapse in front of...and...and...no wonder those girls thought I was an elf..." *She didn't remember sitting down, but there was a chair underneath her.* "This...this is...a hobbit and an elf?"

[Indril Anarion]

"I'm afraid not," said Idril. "Tell me, what brings a Hobbit such as yourself to this Gondorian city?"

[Fred Baggins]

The hobbit smiles impishly. "What doesn't? Well, after grandpap told me all about the White City, I was led to journey there myself. I decided to go the long way 'round and see some of the smaller towns as well. This is just a detour...not much of a short cut, but a detour. 'Sides, I'm not much wanted around the Shire anymore. Too odd, even for the Tooks! And what about yerself?"

[Lubyla]

I awoke and after dressing, found my way downstairs, and sat in the corner, where I could watch everyone. The hobbit, Fran, and the elf who's name I did not catch sat together talking.

[Fred Baggins]

Fran spotted Nydassi, and motioned her over. She smiles, until she see's Aduial. "So this is the child the town has been talking about. She looks a bit shocked. I guess it's not everyday a child sees an elf and a hobbit." She laughs.

[Indril Anarion]

"Apparently not," said Idril. "Now, adressing your previous question, I guess that you could say that this is also my detour. I was defending the forest from an orc raid and was taken captive by the surviving orcs a day or so ago. The night of my capture, I managed to escape and came upon this village. Deciding to lay low for a while, I'd rather take my chances with Gondorian folk than with that orc bunch," she said in a low tone. "And now you know my story."

Since the Hobbit had been so trusting to explain her business here, Idril had decided to take her chances.

[Lubyla]

I walked over to the Elf and Fran. " 'Ello. What are yo utwo up to this morning?" True, I wasn't very poetic. Just another of my flaws, and I lost count at about 60. Smoothing my hair down, I took a seat.

[Indril Anarion]

"Nothing, just enjoying the morning," said Idril. "I don't believe we have met. I am Idril. And you are?"

[Lubyla]

"I am Nydassi. What brings you out here? So far from anywhere I suppose."I didn't want to sound too intrucive, but I was curious.

[Fred Baggins]

*The hobbit looked from Nydassi to Indril and cleared her throat.* "Where in the WORLD is my breakfast. I'll be right back. That cook'll learn NEVER to keep a hobbit from her meal, if it's the last thing she ever learns. And she most certaintly isn't learing how to cook anytime soon." *She scooched back her chair, and wandered in the direction of the kitchen. Despite knowing Nydassi and the elf where talking she couldn't help but feel eyes following her. Aduial's never left her back, until she dissapeared behind the kitchen door.*

[Indril Anarion]

"Well, I'm on a small detour. If you must know, I was defending the forest from an orc raid and was taken captive by the surviving orcs. I managed to escape and came upon this village. Deciding to lay low for a while, I'd rather take my chances with Gondorian folk than with that orc bunch," she said. "What brings you here?"

[Fred Baggins]

Seconds later Aduial found herself standing at the table across from the elf. "You're an elf." She found herself saying, quite stupidly.

[Indril Anarion]

Idril looked up at the young girl.
"Yes, I am. From Mirkwood to be exact," said Idril, wondering why this girl was so surprised. Then again, elves were not commonly seen in Gondorian cities.

"Would you like to join us," Idril asked, pointing to a chair next to her.

[Fred Baggins]

"That'd be nice..." She trailed off and sat down, as though in a dream.
Fran came back, and put her plate on the table, grinning widely when she saw the girl. "Well this must be the child the whole town's in an uproar about." She winked at Aduial. "Don't look so suprised. The way I understand it, we aren't going to be the only hobbits and elves you're going to see. By the way, I'm Fran. And you little missy are...?"
"Aduial..." The poor girl seemed not to know what to do with herself. instead she just kind of stared from the hobbit on one side of her to the elf on the other.
Fran laughed, "Well, I do suppose I should give you some slak we are after all the first you have met." She took a drink from her mug, and licked her lips, before going on. "Destiny friends. All to arrive in the same afternoo, as this child. But I shouldn't say anymore, and get my big mouth in trouble again!" She laughed.

[Indril Anarion]

Idril laughed.

"Well, perhaps this is destiny. After all, who would of thought that an elf, a hobbit, and a girl would all be sitting at a table in a Gondorian city," she said.

[Fred Baggins]

"Two girls." Aduial said, still a bit shaken. But she seemed to understand a bit of what Fran had said. "What do you mean Fran? about destiny?"

Fran laughed "Now no fair trying to get it out of me!" She fingered something in her pocket. "I do know some things, that even elves alone could not know. But that does not give me permission to blurt it out. I like the elves, try to keep those things to myself. But tell me child what brings you here? For I fear it may mean a lot to others of us."

A bit confused Aduial told her, and the shock began to wear off some. "My village was burned down. By...by orcs. And, I'm here because I was attacked by them, on my way to..." She paused. She had no where to go. Where could she go. "And I passed out. That much you must know at least. But as you can see, I'm no elvish princess, as the town seems to be abuzz about."
