'Nice to meet you Rosa.I'm Beruthiel of Mirkwood, but you can call me Ruth, my name's quite a mouthful as well. I really can't help you with the hobbit holes, I've only been here one night. I can help you with some tea though, would you like some?' Ruth asked the newcomer. Rosa straigtened out her little blue dress and replied 'Thats alright thanks, lovely to meet you too. If you've only been here a night, what on earth are you doing pouring tea?.' Rosa had a worried look on her face, thinking that all the guests had to do chores at this inn.
'Well, miss Pio, the inn keeper here, asked me too and I owe her a favour since she let me stay here without question.' She said smiling at the young hobbit and easing Rosa's fears a little.
Ruth looked around the inn, an elf had just left and a man with green eyes was sitting hunched on the other side of the room. There was something about him that made Ruth take a second look. He had been through some rough times for sure, his weather stained cloak, muddy boots as well as a notched sword hanging at his side indicated so.
