[Kitanna]

Marroc could handle being knocked off the raft. He could handle being soaking wet. He could probably even handle meeting unpleasant folk on this adventure, but he couldn't handle Sassy coming along. He had sisters of his own who annoyed him. Now someone else's sister was here to bother the hobbit lads.

All the others were grumbling and complaining. Reggie seemed to be the only one who had any sort of sympathy for Sassy. Marroc was about to go retreat and ignore Sassy's existance when the cookies appeared. "There's enough for all of you." She said holding out a plate of cookies.

Marroc moved closer to Sassy and took a cookie. Marroc was changing his opnion of Sassy already. Could someone who offered them cookies be all that bad? "Thank you, Sassy."

Marroc continued to munch, thinking maybe this wasn't so bad after all. It was not like the raft couldn't support. She was small and light. But then again what if she was a whiner like Marroc's sisters. They'd all just have to wait and see.
