[Fool Of A Took]

"They say that dwarves have warned us about orcs and wargs creeping around at the borders of Shire looking for food." Cedric whispered and shrugged. Nasty creatures, he thought. Cedric didn't say anything for awhile, but then got reminded of that he might should tell something about himself.
"Well..." Cedric started, but paused and took another sip of his tea and leaned back. "...Actually I have never been in Bree before." he said and blushed. "My mother has an irongrip around me, she won't let me even leave the Shire until now." he said and looked with an annoyed expression on his face at his mother that now had returned to her pumpkin pie, and didn't pay much attention to the other guests. She was always quiet when she was eating and nothing should disturb her then. Cedric couldn't resist smiling at his mother when he thought about it. His mother looked up and gave him a happy look and then turned to her pie again. "My mother has always been trying to protect me from everything that could cause me harm" he said and then sighed, "My father died when I was little, he drowned while he fished. He loved fishing, he event tried to fish when he was drunk and could barely stand up. And that's how it turned out." He sighed again and now felt sad again. He didn't have much memory of his father, yet he would always remember him as a caring and loving father. "I guess that's why my mother really looks after me, yet I am grown up now!" he continued and his gaze turned to his mother. "She is all I have left..." he said with low voice.

Everyone seemed to have a good time and no one intended to be worried about the journey, with exception of Cedric of course. Though he didn't show it. He didn't want the others to think that he would be a coward and stay home, he wanted to prove for himself, and most of all for his Mother that he was not a little laddie anymore, he could go his own paths now. Whit or whitout her agreement. He tried to intend more mature and sat up more proper in his chair. I will show her! He looked at Madoc that was drinking his tea. "Would you like some cake?" he then asked and looked at the partytable where the cake could be. Ah, there! "Pass the cake this way, please!" Cedric shouted so someone could hear him in the tumult of laughing and talking. "We don't have much left" Melody replied as she passed it to Cedric. "I won't eat it all" Cedric said and grinned to Melody. Cedric's gaze passed the window and he noticed that it was getting dark outside. And it was snowing. Oh no! Not more snow! I am sick and tired of it.

He mumbled something about 'I hate snow' and then served some cake for Madoc. "The winter is OK when it's not chaotic like this, don't you think?" Cedric said to Madoc and pointed out the window.
