An Adventure of Hobbit Proportions RPG

[Kitanna]

Only once in her life had Peony touched a dead body. When her father had died she had clasped his hands in hers. It had been an unsettling experience then and it was an unsettling experience now. Now it was her gaffer who had left this world. It hardly seemed fair that the old hobbit should leave the world when the adventure was under way.

Tansy, Mira, and Rudy had all occupied one table, but Peony went off on her own to sit and contemplate. Somehow it didn't seem right to continue on with the Gaffer. He was excited as any to travel. And it most certainly didn't seem right to have Mira go on alone. But going back now to deliver the news to her mother would break Melilot's heart.

Peony put her head face down on the table. If she stayed long enough in that spot she might become part of the table. Then she wouldn't have to worry about either returning home or continuing on with a guilty conscience.
