Soronūmė passed through the door of the Inn to a room full of cheery characters. Singing Hobbits enjoying a drink, a dwarf behind the bar serving and both elves and dwarves conversing with eachother at tables. The stories were true, this did seem quite a place to begin good friendships.
Soronūmė approached the bar where he was greeted by Dwarin, the owner of the inn.
"Can I get you something Sir?" Dwarin asked.
"Yes a drink, an ale I think" he replied. Dwarin nodded and went to fetch the drink, as he did so he said "New to these parts are you?" Soronūmė, who had been distracted by one of the hobbits dancing, turned and replied "Indeed, I am new here, is it so apparent?" "A little" answered Dwarin as he brought over the ale, "you just seem a little suprised to see us all here." "I don't believe I have seen so many in one place, and of different birth too" Soronūmė said as he glanced around. "Yes we pride ourselves in that here in the Green Dragon, everyone is equal" Dwarin stated proudly, "And what might your birth be Sir?" he continued. "My name is Soronūmė, I apologise for not introducing myself earlier. My Journey has been long..." Soronūmė was about to continue when a fair maiden entered the room from a door along a side wall, declaring "I am finished". Dwarin chuckled to himself as he went to attend another customer. Soronūmė wondered what she had meant by that but took his ale and went to sit at an empty table.
