Quietly, the door opened and a tall man walked in. His face was covered partially with a grey hood and his head was bent. Nobody paid the slightest attention to him as he took a seat in a corner.
This was the first visit of the young ranger, Esgalindorn son of Tieragorn in the shire. Eight days of wandering in the wild had completely worn him out and within a few moments he fell asleep. The conversations of the various folks in the inn went on unhindered by this newcomer.
Before now, he had only remained in the outskirts of the shire protecting the simple hobbits from various dangers and was little known to elves, dwarves and other rangers also. But from the sound of his snores, it was clear that nobody would be knowing more about him for a while.
