[Mithadan]

Mithadan woke and stretched carefully. His wounds were healing, but he was still extremely stiff. He dressed quickly and climbed to the main deck where he found Pio, Child and Birdie deep in conversation. He was told of Angara's riddles and their interpretations. "You all seem to have unraveled the threads of Angara's chestnuts," he said. "But the details remain obscure. When were the Hobrim, or Hobbits, brought to Numenor? Who did so and why? When did they acheive the form of Hobrim? And, most importantly, when do we need to get their to rescue them? To this I'll add my own questions. If the Hobrim were brought to Numenor/Meneltarma by persons of good will, why does Kali fear the West? And are we seeking Hobbits or Hobrim? And this is pure speculation, but could it be that the reason the people of Middle Earth knew so little of the Hobbits be that they ALL were brought to Numenor only to return to the banks of the Anduin at a later time?"
