Shade interrupted with a laugh.
Shade-You hobbits, you can make a bad sitution merrier...I don't imagine many could sit this close to Orthanc and still be so light hearted.
Faye-Its not hard to be happy...[she thought for a minute]...whats does he look like?
Shade-What?[he asked, caught a bit off his guard]
Faye-Sorryman, or whatever his name is...
Shade-What makes you think I know what Sauraman looks like?
Faye-Collette said thats where you had been.
Shade-Of course she did. She never did warm up to me did she?
Faye-Nope, well maybe a little in the very beginning but not really...
Shade-I thought as much.
Faye-Tell me of your travels...
