Crystal looked up. Her sadness diming slightly. He hadn't judged her.
"I don't believe that if I came in here a couple of months ago that I would find such a kind hearted man as you, Mr.Brandybuck," Crystal said truthfully.
She was blushing wildly underneath her cloak now. She could only wonder what he was thinking about her. And she knew that he could only wonder what she was thinking about him.
She had fell into step with this place, even though she had seen only the inside of the Inn. She couldn't wait to see the rest of this place, this Shire as they called it. She felt at home, and was certainly of, well short stature, to fit in with the towns people she assumed.
Maybe I could live here instead of trying to make a place for myself in Rohan. Crystal thought. She knew she would have to be careful of others from Rohan that would possibly come to find her. She wasn't any normal, every day person, she was the daughter of one of the armys of Rohan's greatest general.
The disturbance caught her attention, a woman lay upon the table. She hurried down and made her way over there.
"Please, allow me to assist her," Crystal said hurriedly as she pulled back the hood of her cloak to reveal her face.
"I know remedies. I've seen this before, please," Crystal stated as she stood before the two men, waiting to see if they would let her help, and if they even recognized her. She was secretly hoping that she wasn't. But she knew how to help and now it didn't matter that she was being searched for. A life hung in the balance.
She waited, her hand upon her pouch, for the men to allow her to help.
