The smile had crept up on Huntress without warning, it was unuseual as it changed her she no longer felt uneasy in this place it was as though the Shire had breathed new life into her,
For a moment Huntress stared at Rave, since Rave had let her hood down Huntress found her quiet striking infact appart from herslef she tried to place where she had seen colouring like Rave's in middle earth, but she could not place it only put it to a likeness of her own black hair. The silence was streaching and finally Huntress spoke,
"It is strange how we that have had fate deal us a somewhat cruel card in life, should find our journeys halted in the Shire." Rave smiled as an indication that similar thoughts had also been going through her mind, so feeling a little braver having had her burden lifted continued,
"I wish to ask you now my friend, now that our journeys are over how long you intend to remain in the shire before you set off again if you choose to do so."
For it was the hope of Huntress that she may be able to build up enough trust in someone to finally tell them her real name, if she could ever be that relaxed.
The smile crossed Huntress' face again for since she had entered the Green Dragon she had removed much of the stress that was shortening her long life. Rave appeared to have made up her mind to answer about her plans so Huntress waited.
