Nuinyulma got up from the step, she didn't know how long she'd been sat there- a few hours maybe. Anyway, it was long enoguh for her body to begin to feel numb. She dusted off her skirt and looked out the nearest window. The sun had strengthened after the early morning rain and it was now high in the sky. Her stomach moaned. She was beginning to feel hungry (again) and she needed to tell Uien something.

She walked slowly, lingering on every step, trying to delay the inevitable. As she reached the bottom step her head began to ache. The inn was busy with lunch and she had to search a while before she found Uien.

"Excuse, me Uien. Could I have a word?"

The golden-haired elf turned around with a puzzled expression but nevertheless she followed Nuinyulma to a quiet corner.

"What is it?"

"Well. It's just that, that," she took a depp breath, "I can't come with you on your search. I'm really sorry, really, truly."

Uien laughed and Nuinyulma blushed crimson.

"Nevermind, my friend. Whatever reason you have-it can't be helped. Do not worry about it, now come. I would have lunch with you but I have work to do. Go and sit down though."

Nuinyulma smiled a sigh of relief and wandered back into the the common room. She sat by herself once more. It seemed she wasn't very good at making friends. Or being of any use to anyone. She wondered whether she could find a job here in the inn. It would give her some money, a essential that would soon run out. She decided, however, not to think of that and let her mind wander as it was prone to do.

It was not long before Buttercup appeared flustered and rushed off her feet.

"What will you be having for lunch Nuinyulma?"

"Just soup and bread please Buttercup. Lots of it please and you needn't hurry- I'm in no rush."

"Aye, well, you may not be but I am. What with Pio's return and all these new guests. We're running out of space. Mind, I'll bring it as fast as possible, though how fast that will be I can't say."

Nuinyulma laughed as the young hobbit ran off to the kitchen. She was right though. When Buttercup eventually returned with her lunch, she took it eagerly and carefully chomped her bread and sipped her soup.

It tasted much better with her admittance to Uien off her chest.
