Interesting dilemma we have before us, don't we, Hob? I was planning to let the bird go, since crow isn't exactly my idea of breakfast, and I could never eat a talking bird.

* Erling somehow managed an even tone of voice, though he continued to blink in astonishment at his most unusual catch. A talking bird? *

But maybe you're right, Hob. Let's not be so quick to let it loose. This bird could be magical. Maybe it will grant us a wish in exchange for its freedom.

* Erling smiled hopefully, and not unkindly, at the crow. Rekindling the campfire back to life, the Hobbit could see that the bird was fortunately unharmed. He gently eased the net to give the crow a bit of breathing space, but not so much so that the bird could break free. * [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
