The Green Dragon

[Yavanna Kementari]

Dona felt little butterflies in her stomache. The man in that came in was there to give ill news she just new it. She turned her mind now back to Don,Rie, and Nuru.

Dona held back a chuckle at the conversation Rie was having with Don.The whole 'being a lady' and acting tough was just too much for her. Then as Rie gave her the 'tough look' She noticed 2 hobbit lassies fighting as one walked out the door with another over her shoulder in a sack,she almost burst in to laughter and tears.

" I'll be right back"

Dona ran into the kitchen with her hand over her mouth and when she was out of sight of the ladies she let out a great roll of laughter.

She returned with her composure regained, and a pint of ale in her hand.

" I'm alright now she smiled, and please excuse me Bali needs his drink still.

Nuru and Rie looked at her with laughter and amusement in their eyes. They both had half grims on their faces.

" Alright," they said together.

As Dona walked away Don yelled to her," I know you were laughing at me!"

Dona turned around and looked at the lass and said " I don't laugh at children,I love them!" Having said this she playfully stuck her tongue out at Don, smiled, courtsied and walked away laughing.

She returned to Bali with his ale and while he was gone another man joined him.

" Here ya go han'some," she said with a smile "Sorry about the delay."

She courtsied to the stranger and said, "What may I get you kind Sir?"
