Silvanis watched for a time from his chair, but as soon as he aquired the smoke, and after watching the woman he dropped the stone relax after her converse with the Hobbit, and he quickly retired.

Rest came easy for a couple hours before he awoke in the pre-dawn. Arising he went out through the common room, and out the door to wander the field and enjoy the sunrise. The day was to be a bright and warm one for the Shire, and Silvanis thought of what it would bring. He thought of his procurement of the stone he left with the woman, and thought of the trouble he will be in if he returns to the south. But it had to be done....

The sun breaking the morning over the horizon brought Blackvbeil to him, and she was well rested and looked better than she had in a long time. Hoping to go she nudged him, but Silvanis paused, telling her,

'Be patient my dear, for we have been through much of late. Enjoy the grass of this field, but don't wander into the farmers crops. I have to return to the Inn for some food, for we are in no hurry to ride into danger again are we?'

Blackveil danced at the thought of spending a sunny day grazing the lush green grass and cheerily started to do so. Silvanis walked back to the common room to partake in the morning meal and sip some tea. It was really what the Shirefolk call 'second breakfast' but he enjoyed it just the same. He stood at the bar and watched and ate as the meals ran together, wondering where the woman went off to. He listened as the postman came with mail for some and he wondered what it was like to have someone send you mail. 'They would have to find you first.' Silvanis thought to himself, quite enjoying not cooking his own food and smoking and eating.

It was getting into the afternoon when he decided he would go and ride out, but as he went for the door something told him to turn and look the place over one last time. He saw the exotic woman, her hair in a rope and her silken scarves about her looking at him from across the room. 'She found it!' he thought to himself, and with a friendly nod and a slight smile, he turned and went out the door.

Standing in the westering sun, letting his eyes adjust to the brightness, Silvanis went to the field a short bit away from the door and called to Blackveil. She trotted up and he looked again back to the door of the Inn.
