Lily hugged Berilac as he dropped her off at Poppy's front step. 'Bye Beril!' she waved happily popping the jaw breaker back into her mouth.

Poppy opened the front door smiling and greeting Berilac for bringing Little Lily home. He went down the step and turned the corner, just as he did Lily wanted to take Poppy's outreached hand 'now Lily look at your hands, there awefully sticky, have you been playing with that jawbreaker in your mouth' she laughed putting her hands on Lily's shoulders steering her inside the hole to the water basin.

'Here Lily wash up a bit and you can tell me about your day, ok?' Lily nodded busy with the soap bar in front of her. She started out telling her about how scared she was of all the new people especially the Big Folk's children. But with the help of the stone pendant she became brave and made friends with Kari, a Big Folk child, Poppy nodded aknowledging that lily was very brave indeed.

then the story seemed to turn for the worse when a group of the Big boys attacked some of the Hobbit children with pea shooters. Lily explained that she herself was hit in the ear, 'it stung really bad' she motioned to her ear 'but I was given a towle with some ice to make it better; Kari threw her chalk board at 'em hitting one right between the eyes' she giggled.

Poppy listened carefully with concern in her eyes, drying off Lily's little white hands.
Too bad some people behave like that towards ones that 'ave done nothing to them.

'Then we went outside to play and I was scared for a while because those boys might come back, but Kari protected me and we started to play...' she was about to take the jaw breaker out of her mouth again but Poppy stopped her insisting that she wouldn't want to get her nice clean hands all dirty again; Lily continued 'Berilac the Ranger needed help in finding holes in those hedges, and we all helped' she stated triumphantly.

All in all it had been an awefully exciting day, but Poppy was still concerned about those boys, she had heard rumors of them before. Perhaps she would have a word with Andreth tomorrow.
