Daisy had followed everyone into the barrow and was shocked to see that it had skeletons and treasures of all kinds laying around. Bullroarer had instructed her to help Tomba get dinner started and she would be allowed to look around the barrow.
After starting dinner Daisy began looking around at all of the treasures. The jewels were beautiful but of no help on this trip besides it felt strange to take something from the dead that she could not use. As she walked around she noticed an eleven shield that unfortunately was broken. Daisy looked at it a little closer, it was still useable by a hobbit so she decided to take it to Bullroarer and see what he thought about her taking and using it for protection while they were on the road.
She picked up the shield and headed back to the group, feeling just a little safer with everyone around her. She wasn’t quite sure why but for some reason she just didn’t feel safe right now. She went to find Hal and Gaddy because when she was with them she always felt a little better. Maybe it was because Gaddy always found a way to make her smile and forget how bad things could be.
Daisy got back to group and checked on dinner. It was just about ready, so she called everybody to the fire so that they could sit down and eat. When Bullroarer got there she handed him the shield she had found and let him examine it. As she ate her dinner she waited for her uncle to tell her if it would be okay for her to take the shield with her when they left the barrow.
