Old Bombadil couldn't help but laugh when he heard Théodred's reasoning and then he went again singing.

"Oh, you mighty laddie,
come home to old daddy!
With you I both agree
and strongly disagree.
Now let me stroke your hair,
see the bottom of your eyes fair.
There's no evil in there?
Is there?"

But then he shook his head and took the skin once more.

"Oh no, don't get me wrong dear Rohanian master. I'm indeed beginning to think that this northern ranger Halbarad should be spared at least toDay. He eventually tries to do something unlike some others who conveniently hide in the shadows or behind their roles as someone we should think they are." At this point Tom glanced hastily at Eomer as well.

"And anyway these northern men tend to be simple, not those honey-lipped vermins the southern courts, Saruman's pits or elven halls might produce..." He glanced at the two brothers to see whether there was any reaction only to see both of them gone. "So if he's a traitor indeed, we'll be able to spot him later..."

"Olorin, my friend, please share your thoughts for otherwise I need to consider you as one of those I might vote toDay as well."

Finally he took his pipe from his pocket and started filling it. "So the time of decisions draws near... Any ideas you others?"

EDIT: X'd with Lobelia & Eomer
