Dark clouds had moved in front of the sun, and Lily was feeling a little bit chilled. She was also stiff from sitting in her chair for so long. She stood up, stretched, and said, "I'm going to go get some tea. Would any of you like some?" Willow, Mira, and Ferran all politely declined. Lily wandered over to the bar. She was in no hurry, and it felt good to stretch her legs after sitting so long.
"I would like some tea, please," she said to the Hobbit server. Lily grasped the cup that was given to her, and it instantly warmed her hands. She took a sip. It was nice and hot. "Thank you," she said. She carried her tea back over to her table, being careful not to spill. She sat down at the table again. As when she had first sat down, silence had taken over the table. Now what do we talk about? Lily tried desperately to think of something. The silence was getting to her. She took another sip of tea.
"How long do you all expect to be staying at the Green Dragon?" she asked at last. "And Willow and Mira, how long have you been here?"
