Amarantha headed back towards the inn after a long day of exploring this part of the Shire. She was staying with her cousins as it was one of their birthdays. But she was also here to meet people and generally have fun.
As she was nearing it she met a small lady with a hawk on her shoulder. “Hi” she said with a smile, “where do you hail from, Bree?” she asked not quite sure of her race. This woman (she could tell she was female) was only a little bit taller than herself, but didn’t seem quite hobbitish but seemed too small for an elf or man. But Aramantha didn’t mind, she looked like an interesting person to talk to.
