Gondorian Gathering
Falmir was the first to get a glimpse of red shoes worn by a fellow Gondorian. He had crimson cheeks at this point. Galither could tell the embarrassment in the guys face. Falmir had not sympathy for the man and burst out with laughter followed by the other two. Galither let out a subtle snigger but not as high as the immense laughter produced from Falmir.
Falmir shouted, “Well well if it isn’t the bell of the ball”
The other two continued to laugh. At this point the guy was stood there peering around to see if people were still looking at him. Many of the guests in the common room were now looking away but laughs were still being heard.
The man said towards Galither “Do you like my shoes?”
Galither looked away at first as a sign for the man to get lost but he just stood there like a puppy waiting for orders. Galither was started to get embarrassed himself just by looking at the bright red shoes, so he signalled to the person to sit down.
Galither replied silently “Yea why don’t you save me one of those”
The man sat at the edge of the table. He was very uncomfortable at this point. Galither got the impression that he was even more humiliated because they were of his kind. Galither ordered ale for the man. Ruby came up with the ale very quickly and looked at the man with a worried look. I don’t think ruby liked the way falmir acted and felt sorry for the man.
Galither “tell me friend, what is your name”
The man replied “Denegal”
Falmir was even more furious with Galither. He did not like talking to the hobbits and now he didn’t want the company of a fellow Gondorian, it made him uncomfortable. He got up and went to his room without word.
The other two Gondorians were going to leave as well when Galither ordered them more drinks.
“Tell me friend why have you come out here in them? It worries me that any man would want to be seen in them”
