Down to Business!

Conversation in the Common Room died down somewhat. The Dwarves continued their private murmur. The hobbits were enjoying some story about one of their relations. The outlanders were quiet, waiting for Nob to tell them a room had been made ready.

Soon enough it was. The busy hobbit had built a nice fire, quick-started with coals from the kitchen.

"Your room is ready, Tom. How long d'you think you'll be up?" asked Nob.

"Might be a little while, Nob," answered Tom, puffed up a little. "Just come around in about an hour and see if anyone needs anything will you. We might have a lot of planning to do!"

Then Tom Ferny got up from his stool and turned to the outlanders and said, "This way if you please, and we'll talk some business and see if there's not some profit to be had here abouts."

He walked to the door on the left and into the first door on the right. Then he turned back to see who would follow.

Talondin drained his mug and set it down with a thump. He got up and walked straightway to the meeting room. Menel gave Calimir a look as if to say, "Let us see." The slender elf followed his old friend.

Valdavar the Beorning lumbered to his feet, grabbed a full pitcher of mead and followed as well, curious about all things in this land and mindful of a chance to earn some wealth.

That left the elf maiden Carimir and Beregond of Gondor. They looked at one another, spoke quickly, and reached swift agreement that it would not hurt to listen. Soon they were all seated inside the room and Ferny shut the door.
