Robin and Dinodas introduced themselves to Dafodyl, and then they began to chat, mostly talking about snowball fights. Autumn and Dinodas told of times when they were children and had snowball fights with their little brother for Autumn, little sister for Dinodas.
Robin was half listening, but she was mostly gazing around the inn. "Strange not to be at the Green Dragon safe," she muttered to herself. "We're going on a dangerous adventure."
"Hmm?" said Giles, thinking Robin had been speaking to him.
"Oh," said Robin, smiling at him. "I was just thinking how we're going on a dangerous adventure instead of enjoying ale and food with the promise of a warm home when we leave."
"I think the same thing sometimes," Giles agreed.
"Hey, Gaddy, Hal, Daisy!" Dinodas called across the room. "Over here, you three! Sit here and join us!"
