While Bird went to fetch water from a nearby spring, Rose dug through her pack, making quite a mess on the ground about. Now that Mithadan had recovered, she had remembered a small packet she had shoved in with a few apples snitched from the kitchen. The apples were long gone, but she was certain the packet should still be inside...

After several minutes searching, she finally shouted triumphantly and held up a small bag. Bird had returned from the spring, and she turned about with a pained expression, about to warn the young hobbit to keep down her voice - they did not want to alert all of the Shire of their presence - but Rose cut her off.

“Mithadan,” Rose made a small curtsy before the man. “May I be the first to wish you congratulations on the birth of your twins.” She opened the small bag and pressed it into his palm. Inside, he discovered with a laugh, twelve cigars.
