Diamond and Rosie marched down the hall to the store room where Fastred and Debreon were working hard at sharpening their swords.
"Diamond, my dear. Were you able to help Master Peregrin with his inquires?"
"Yes, Father, I was. Thank you for allowing us to speak in secret. I was able to help him realize who we are all up against."
"Good, good. As to fighting, did you discuss all the reasons why you simply cannot fight." It was Rosie's turn to speak up.
"That they did, Master Grenthumb. Master Pippin told Diamond she would do better to help behind the scenes, helping to tend battle wounds and such. That way, she would feel as though she were contributing and she wouldn't be in danger. On behalf of my family, I have offered my home as such a base of healing and I have invited Miss Diamond to come back with me tomorrow."
"And I have accepted, but could not possibly think to leave without your blessing, Ada." Fastred's eyes filled with tears as he looked proudly upon his daughter.
"Mîrwennín, you have my blessing, child. I know you will make me proud, my dear. You will travel back with Rose and Estella, then, I suppose. That makes me very uneasy, child. Perhaps I should send Debreon with you."
"Ada, there is no need. Peregrin will accompany us to Bywater. He also leaves in the morning and I am sure he would have it no other way." Fastred straightened up at the announcement of Pippin's plans.
"My dear, where is Master Peregrin to sleep this night? He cannot stay at the inn, he will be discovered and probably arrested."
"Nor can he leave tonight, for the same reasons. I have invited him to stay here. We have one more guest room available and it certainly won't put me out any. I don't mind cooking for one more at breakfast." Once again, Fastred straightened up at the idea of Pippin staying on. He liked the lad, to be sure, but was wary of his attentions toward his precious Diamond.
"I suppose there is nothing else to be done for him. He has no where else to go that is safe. But I am not comfortable with him staying here. And to ease my troubled mind, Debreon, you will tend to Master Peregrin. See that all of his needs are met. I do not think it would be proper for Diamond to focus on him, with two guests of her own under our roof." Diamond opened her mouth to protest but was cut off by Debreon.
"I couldn't agree more, Edair. I would be happy to attend to my friend. It's only fair, Diamond. And it's the best thing for you." Rosie could sense an argument arising and tugged on Diamond's sleeve.
"Well, come my friend. We have a long day ahead of us. It would be best if we rested."
"Mae aduial, Ada. Mae aduial, Miluiel."
"Good evening, Mîrwen."
