I swung my axe down on the wood, splitting it straight down the middle. Sweat dripped down my brow, annoying me. I wiped the sweat away and picked up the wood.
I walked into town to my uncle's yard. "Hello Christiana." He mumbled around his pipe. "Hi uncle Torinar. Got your fire wood for ya." I greeted and set the wood by the house. "Thank you, Could you run another errand for me?" Torinar asked. "Sure, what'd ya need?" I sighed.
"Could you deliver this letter to Bilbo? Don't ask me what it is, It is of an important business offer." He handed me a small envelope. I nodded and took the letter.
I knocked on Bilbo's door, a few seconds later, the door opened. "Christiana, What are you doing here?" He asked, a surprised look splayed on his face. "Is it strange for me to want to see an old friend of mine?" I chuckled. Bilbo raised an eyebrow, but smiled and motioned for me to come inside. "Do you want something to drink?" He said as he fumbled around in the kitchen. "No, I'm fine," I walked into the dinning room and sat down. "I have a letter for you from Torinar."
Bilbo opened the envelope and started reading it, pacing the floor as he did so. " He said it was about an important business offer." I continued. "I was wondering what kind of business offer." "It says specifically that I cannot tell you. Sorry." Bilbo sighed, folded up the paper and set it in his pocket. "You can tell your uncle that I accept." He smiled.
I trekked back to my uncle's house and gave him the reply letter that Bilbo had quickly managed to scribble together. My uncle laughed and patted my shoulder. "You can tell Bilbo that we can continue this discussion next week at The Green Dragon.". I sighed and dragged my worn out legs back to Bilbo's house.
He opened the door and I crashed onto the couch. "Are you all right?" Bilbo fretted. "Yeah. Torinar says that the discussion will continue next week, at The Green Dragon." I sat up.
Bilbo walked over to his fireplace and added the last few pieces of wood. I looked at the small flame and stood up. "I'll get some more wood for you." I stated. Bilbo was about to object, but I closed the door behind me before he could say anything.
