******The Shire/Rivendell/Blue Mountains******
Orlo munched an apple nonchalantly as they continued travelling. He was getting used to this: meeting new people, adapting to new places...Wanting to talk to Elladan, he overtook Brando, giving him a brotherly sort of pat on the head.
"Good morning," he said brightly. "That was a merry song you sang this morning. Was it one you already knew, or did you make it up on the spot?"
Elladan smiled. "I just put a few words to a tune I already knew."
Orlo whistled approvingly. "Bilbo Baggins used to do that. Wish I could. My family always said I sounded worse than a yowling cat. Thats the kind of encouragement I received in my younger days." Orlo said "younger days" in the manner of an experienced hobbit. Elladan smiled secretly.
Orlo lowered his voice. "Looks like we've got no need for alliances yet!" he said happily.
