Crystal blinked and looked back over to the man. Samwise Gamgee, the one name she had known better then her father's name.
"Samwise Gamgee is a mayor? He sure is one well rounded man," Crystal replied as she took another drink. The warm liquid bubbled inside her.

Aman was taking quite a liking to her, that much she could tell. Maybe it was the liqueor, maybe it was the lonely hole that filled her heart, maybe it was Aman's openness that was making her feel like she should open up.

"Home is far away, in a land long gone. Home is so far away that neither you nor I would ever recognize the no longer lush fields of war. Home is a memory that only I and other wanders from that home hold. Home is gone," Crystal replied as she ate more of the stew.

Her mind wandered to the lush fields of green that held her childhood wonders. Her mind wandered to the day she had met the one man that she had wanted to live and die with. He had died without her, leaving her to live in this world filled with strangers. Strangers that didn't take kindly wanders from a time in life that use to be kind. Wanders like herself.

She had been shunned from any place she had gone. She had be turned away from warm beds and real homes. She had been turned away from young men that could have given her hope and a new life.

Maybe that's what she was looking for. Maybe that's what she wanted. The safety, security, and love that only one man had shown her. Maybe that's why she continued to wander.

"Home is in Rohan for me. A Rohan that will never welcome me once more," Crystal said quietly, as memories of her time flowed through her mind like water. Each memory a stone in her mind that stopped and placed its self in the riverbed of her mind. The riverbed that twisted into the distance of a future she didn't know would come. A future that never felt like it would be here.

"Rohan is not as kind as many would make some believe," Crystal retorted as she took another sip from her glass. She looked out over the Inn. This place, this Shire that they called it, was amazing in its kindness and warm. Amazing that so many could live together in happiness and even though disputes were what always happened, they still were able to come in here for a pint and have a good time.

"Maybe my wanders are over," Crystal whispered as the feeling of being home washed over her like a wave from the sea. She had been to the sea once, when she was just a wee child. It had been an experience that she would never forget and had vowed to allow that experience to whatever children she would have. As of late she had been wishing to settle down, start a family, and to be happy once more. Maybe here she would get those wishes.

Crystal turned to Aman and smiled brightly, her eyes glowing with happiness as the feeling of belonging set into her weary mind.
