Caligon walked up to what looked like, from a distance, a pub. Upon closer examination he discovered that it was indeed a pub called the Green Dragon. He was quite hungry, seeing as how it was midday and lunch time, and he did enjoy Hobbit ale very much, so he decided to go inside and sit awhile.
Just as he was about to enter, he heard a large, and quite loud, bell ringing. He figured it must be a lunch bell, and he figured right. No sooner had the bell stopped ringing then Hobbits from all around started walking, and even running, toward the pub. Caligon quickly entered before they arrived.
Upon entering, most of the Hobbits and Men inside stared at him. He was wearing a thin breastplate made of leather, and his sword hung in it's scabbard from his belt. Throughout the Shire his attire drew the attention of many curious Hobbits, and he often had to explain that he was a Captain of Gondor, and there on business. Few of the Hobbits fully accepted this vague explanation, seeing as how they are very nosy creatures.
He strode up to the counter and asked for a nice, cold Hobbit ale, and a cake. Upon receiving his food and drink, he went to a small table in a corner and sat down. He looked around closely at the inhabitants of the pub, both Man and Hobbit, and thought the scene very quaint, just like all the rest of the Shire
