"Elanor Gamgee?" Sereth had turned rather pale, and looked even more unhealthy. "Then I must speak to Brinn right now!"

"She just left the common room," Thiliel offered helpfully. "Are you sure you don't want something to eat?"

But Sereth was already running down the stairs and through the common room. Once she was out of the inn she didn't hesitate - she knew Brinn would be found in the cart if she was not in the common room. Sereth suspected Brinn liked to be findable by her players if they needed her, and Sereth definitely did need her right now.

Slightly out of breath, Sereth burst to the wagon just to hear Brinn say to Coldan in a rather resigned voice: "...the show is over."

"What?" Sereth shrieked, forgetting to try to sound as mature as possible. "Why? What happened?"

But it all made sense now, that was what Miss Elanor Gamgee had come to say, that their rendition of the War of the Ring was so disgraceful that Mister Samwise Gamgee and the King himself had decided not to have it performed at all. Horrified, she leaned against the wall of the cart.

"That's what she came to say, right? That her father and the King don't... want us?" she clarified, since Brinn and Coldan were still looking at her, looks of incomprehension on their faces. Sereth tried very hard not to cry. It was such a disaster.
