The first of the newly arrived duo was Ruby, dark red hair, shimmering with gold streaks, cascading down her shoulders. Her green eyes shining intensely under the full moon. She was dressed in a corset style green dress top with a beautiful silk skirt that was waving gently in the breeze. Ruby was in, what it seemed, deep conversation with Treebeard.
The next of the two, Fae, looked quiet. She was observing her new surroundings as a newborn foal would its mother. She had hip length blond hair that sparkled more brilliantly than the stars that covered the sky. She was wearing a blue thigh length dress that matched with her sea blue eyes.
Both the girls had reasonably thin frames, (for hobbits!!), but their faces held a worried look. Merry and Pippin caught pieces of their conversation that drifted down to them on the wind, points that Ruby described while waving her arms around wildly. Obviously trying to make Treebeard and the others realise their troubles, "burning…death…animals…villages…" but then Ruby stopped talking as Treebeard had closed his eyes, sighed and replied, "I shall discuss it with the others."
"Holy Lembas," exclaimed Fae, "it'll take them all night!"
"Tell me about it," Ruby grumpily agreed, "and I haven't had anything to eat since second breakfast!"
"You should see how long it took them to decide if we were hobbits or orcs!"
The girls spun round to become face to face with the other two hobbits. And from the look on their faces, the had been oblivious to the fact their had been there.
"Oh…hi," Ruby said, after a painfully long silence. She opened her mouth to say something else, but abruptly shut it again.
"Sorry, you just gave us a fright," Fae said, watching her friends mouth open and close, "I'm Fae and this is Ruby," she exclaimed, pointing to her still wordless bud.
