Pio flopped down with a discrete oomph in the chair opposite Cami. She glanced about the Inn at the hustle and bustle of the volunteer breakfast brigade. Smiling at her friend, she commented, 'Now that's what I like to see! A busy crew and a tightly run ship.'

Cami laughed and shook her head at the Elf. 'This isn't the Star, Pio. You can't go about ordering the guests around.'

Pio raised her eyebrows, 'Perhaps not forever, Cami. But it's working for today. Gives me a chance to put my feet up and relax.' She waved a hand to Beruthiel and motioned her over. 'A large mug of coffee, if you please.' The young Elf poured the brew with a certain flair and set it down nicely in front of Pio. Cami nodded to Pio, who winked at the young Elf and smiled, saying, 'Excellent technique, Beruthiel! I believe you have a a real talent as a Shire barrista. Carry on, my dear, your guests await you!

Pio overheard Barodir asking for the fastest way to Minas Anor. She motioned him to her table. 'Take the Great East Road to Bree and turn south on The Greenway. Ride hard and you will reach the Gap of Rohan in a fortnight. From there the Great West Road will take you down the Eastern flank of the Ered Nimrais and into Anorien from The Mark. Stay on the road and it will bring you directly to Minas Anor, or Minas Tirith as you Men call it now.'
