Auriel feels a lot less nervous now Piosenniel has come over and is delighted her cheesecake has a fan.
"Is there anything else you'd recommend?" she asks. "I think the Dr Pepper's spiked but I can see so many things here I've never tried. Everyone seems to be gathering by the black tent. Should we go over there too?"
Piosenniel has surreptiously consumed another slice and is unable to answer at present. The hobbits have begun dancing again and despite her reserve Auriel taps her foot and begins to smile. Above her someone is humming to himself in a tree.
