"At once," said Nurumaiel, and she went off to the kitchen. She almost burst out laughing, for she saw Don glaring angrily and Rie and Rie looking quite cool and collected.

"Do you need anything?" Rie asked quickly.

"Oh, no," said Nuru. "Miss Robin Took wants something to drink and I'm going to get it for her."

"Yuck, drinks!" said Don, trying to sound rude.

"You couldn't live without them, miss," said Rie.

Nuru hurried out of the kitchen laughing, and approached Robin. "Here's you drink, Miss Took," she said. "Have a seat and see what there is to see, hear what there is to hear. There are many interesting tales to be told, and songs to be sung." With that, Nuru went back into the kitchen to watch the argument between Don and Rie.
