Birdie did not like that Lindo, oh, no, not at all. "Putting on airs. Turning his back on his own people, he is", thought Birdie to herself.

As she took a short, circling flight around the ponies, she considered doing to Lindo a certain trick that the crow-folk were famous for, but decided that Child would never forgive her for such crudity, even in her current form.

So she contented herself with landing on the Halfling and pecking at the Elven brooch on his shoulder. Lindo started and waved the "bird" away brusquely, only to have the crow return again and try to filch the shiny object. A sour look from Child soon put an end to this game, though.

Now these other Hobbits, This was more like it. You could see that their stay in Gondolin had had an effect on them, but their kindly, life-loving Hobbit nature still shown through.

Birdie waited politely, like a good "pet", on the door lintel of the hole, waiting for introductions and, perhaps, a share of the meal. But as she gazed out over the city, the most human part of her mind was repeating a mournful refrain: "Two more days. Only two more days!"
