A dwarf and elf woman walk into the Prancing Pony and look around. They see an empty table near me and the elf sits down smiling at he companion as he stares at the chair.
"Are you going to be able to sit by yourself Master Dwarf?" Glavroleth asks.
"Dwarves don't need help to sit down," Hjor growls through his smile.
"Especially not when doing so means you get to drink."
"I've watched elves drink and your people aren't any better when it comes to wine. Just because you're drinking something fancy doesn't mean you don't like your drink as much as dwarves do."
"I gladly accept that," Glavroleth says.
"Do you think it was a good idea to bring that pony back here?"
"This seems safer for him than near the Walls of Moria."
"I'll give you that one but what if his owner comes back looking for him?" Hjor asks.
"That won't happen. There are things I can't tell you but I know the owner and he is far away now."
"Well I suppose I won't argue with you about that."
"I will ensure he finds a place where he will live in peace," Glavroleth says. "While I do not know the details I am sure he has more than earned a restful life."
"I am glad that at least one happy ending came from our time in Echad Dunnan."
"I am sorry about your friend."
"Thoriak was among the greates friends a dwarf could hope for," Hjor says.
"It was a waste to try to find Durin's Tower. That has been lost since the day Kazad-Dum's gate was sealed."
"I wonder what the expedition will find in the depths."
"I can only hope they do not find the shadow that burned your people from the tunnels and those that came before them avoided its gaze," Glavroleth says.
"You say strange things sometimes. The dwarves were the first to enter Khazad-Dum since the doors opened."
"I am sure you are right."
"You know something but won't tell me," Hjor says. "I suppose it doesn't matter."
"Thank you for not pushing the issue."
"As long as your people help to secure the supply route to the mines I'll let you have your secrets."
"Our enemy has filled the land but they are unorganized," Glavroleth says. "As long as we can keep them that way the lands should be safe enough."
"The only other thing I want to take care of is the creatures that inhabit Eregion."
"There are a great number including the crebain. However the half orc that was in control of them is dead now. It should be harder for our enemy to send messages now."
"I want to see the number of aggressive lizards and crawlers reduced," Hjor says. "They may not be as dangerous as the half orcs but they need to be kept from the road."
"It shouldn't be hard to kill them whenever we see them while we deal with our enemy."
