Ellie sniffed the air. "Mmm, I smell-"
"MUSHROOMS!" Champignonne chimed in. The two smiled at each other.
"Now I think about it, that cheese was not much for three Hobbits" Ellie said slowly and thoughtfully.
"Indeed no" agreed Champignonne.
"So, shall we see about getting some?"
"I think we should."
Chattering eagerly, the two started to walk away.
Suddenly Ellie remembered Drago, who was sitting looking wistfully after them. He looked so wet and...alone that she felt pity for him. Feeling very saintly by giving up the mushrooms, she said to him "I am so sorry Drago, you are still wet through!"
Taking his hand she pulled him out of his seat.
"You must change immediately. Come, they showed me the way to the rooms. Champignonne, get enough mushrooms for three!"
