The Prancing Pony

[Shale]

Funny why people suddenly decided that water's good.

[Elessar]

Aamaal said:

*Shaken from her thoughts she looks up.*

Huh.. Oh yeah..

*Smiles and holds out her hand.*

I'm Aamaal, nice to met you...

*Takes her hand and bows his head.*

It is my pleasure Aamaal.

*smiles warmly at her*

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Elessar, Dunedain chieftain of Arnor.

*Takes a seat opposite her*

You seemed to be lost in your thoughts. Does something trouble you?

[Aamaal]

*Smiles as he takes his seat.*

I was just thinking of my home land.

*Runs her hand over the table top.*

As I came here I noticed that evil seems to be growing in Middle Earth. I am simply worried.

[Elessar]

We all feel it at this time, but your people are strong and you should have faith in them.

*Gives her an encouraging smile*

Are you from Mirkwood or Rivendell?

And do you travel alone?

[Aamaal]

Yes you are right. I should have more faith..

*Smiles*
No I m not from either one of those. I am from Lothlórien.
Yes, I travel mostly alone..

[Elessar]

I have been lucky enough to visit your home. It is a truely magnificent place, filled with beauty and light.
I hope I may return there one day.

*searches the Elf's eyes and catches a glimmer of sorrow and sadness, thinly veiled beneath her dark lashes. He notices something glinting around her neck, a trinket of some kind and suspects she has a story to tell. Though for now he let's the matter rest.*

What business do you have in Bree?

[Aamaal]

*Runs her hand across the table top, drawing shapes with her fingers.*

I was just looking for a place to rest for the night, I've heard many good things about this place and I thought I would stop and stay a while before moving on. Although the man at the gate seemed to be startled to see me..

*Smiles.*

If you ever do return to my home I should hope they would welcome you.

[Aulus corthale]

aulus walked to the bar and took a strong drink and sat back down again listening to conversations.

[Elessar]

It is unusual to encounter an elf maiden travelling alone. The gate keeper probably thought you were one of Sauron's followers in disguise.
*A slight smirk touches the corner of his lips.

As Aulus walked past the candle on their table flickered. Elessar looked around the room studying all the various travellers and townsfolk before returning his gaze to Aamaal.*

I don't think I have ever seen this place empty. Every time I visit it's always a hive of activity. You meet all kinds of people in here.

[Aamaal]

*Takes a drink of her water.*

Well I guess I cant really blame him for thinking that.

*Looks around the room.*

Yes it does seem quiet i here. I had hoped there would be more people.

*Looks back to him.*

You said Vist So your not from here? Well, if you dont mind me asking what brings you here this time?

[Elessar]

*Picks up his flagon of ale and drinks from it, considering her question, places it back down on the wooden table before answering.*

I am a wanderer of the wildlands. I go where the road takes me.

[Aamaal]

*Looks at the table.*

I guess we're alot alike in that way.. The rode is either your friend or foe..

*Looks to her water.*

[Elessar]

So where are you headed from here?

Rivendell or somewhere else?

*Runs his fingers through the candleflame, watching the wax drip down the holder.*

[Aamaal]

*Looks at the wall.*

I really dont know where I m going.

*Watches him playing with the candle.*

How about you? Where are you going to?

[Aulus corthale]

*overhears ellesars and aamaals conversation* the roads are dangerous even for wanders. may he who crosses paths whit orcs and other foul demons be lucky. *he took out an iron case and took out small cigar* something else for a change.
