The day of departure was fast approaching. Sam was packing and repacking his rucksack to make sure that he had everything ready. Merry and Pippin were eating as much food as possible and sneaking some dry food into their bags. Frodo spent as much time as possible with Bilbo and taking in the sights and beauty of the Last Homely House. Gandalf poured over old maps and tried to map out the best and safest way to travel. Boromir drew in his sketch book. Legolas spent much of his time with the sons of Elrond and Aragorn, pulling pranks on many residents. Legolas, Elrohir and Elladan loved to prank Gimli. Aragorn split his time between Legolas, Elrohir, and Elladan; and Arwen. That night before the quest began, Arwen spent the night in Aragorn's arms; both of them fearing that this would be the last night together.
