Swiftly riding back over the hill, Fáinu saw the inn up ahead. he had not been far before he decided to turn back. He stopped at the stables and dismounted. He lead his horse into the stables and made sure he had enough food. He sighed and shook his head.
"What can I expect?" he mused, "All that will come of this is bitterness and sorrow."
Moving out of the stables he saw a few Hobbits dashing into the inn. They must be thirsty, he thought. He slowly entered the inn, Cree was still there. However, there was still no sign of Adu or Hama. He thought this most peculiar. Silently, he moved into the parlour and sat alone. he took out a long wooden pipe, placed some Old Toby in it and lit it. He coughed violently; he had not smoked in a long while.
