"I might not be the only tough one around here, but I'm tougher than you are," said Don stubbornly. "And your hair is awfully red."

Nuru hurriedly stepped out of the kitchen to laugh for a moment, and heard a young hobbit girl introduce herself as Robin. "Another Robin," said Nuru as she approached the lass.

"Excuse me," said Nuru to Robin. "I just happened to overhear what your name was. Robin, didn't you say?"

When the hobbit girl nodded, Nuru burst out laughing. "Oh, well, you see, I have a friend called Robin as well. Fortunately she's not here right now, or we might have utter confusion-" here Nuru winked to show she was just joking on that "-but might I ask you... what's you last name? The other Robin, who isn't here right now, is a Brandybuck, so when I speak of her I'll say Robin B., so you won't think I'm saying all those horrible things about you."

"Horrible?" asked Robin, confused.

"We're very old friends, so we like to tease each other," replied Nuru. "Are you hungry? I can get you some late breakfast, if you'd like."
