"What brings you to the Shire?"
Talômi threw back his hood and sat down. "I've been here for a couple of days, looking for someone," Talômi explained. "My name is Talômi, son of Almarien. Brother of Talmérië..." He faltered, then grinned. "That's why you recognize me, if you do. She's my twin--we look very similar. I've been searching for her almost nonstop since she left, but I'm afraid that as it always was she left me in her dust. I think that's probably because I stopped at every in from Gondor to the Shire!" He laughed. "But none like this one, I'll say that. This is most certainly a unique place.
"But I'm straying from the point and taking up your time," Talômi said, and smiled apologetically. "My apologies. I am wondering if you know my sister, who probably goes as Rië or Rie here."
