"What have you got in your pocket?" Eodwine asked.

"String I suppose." Falco pulled his hand out of his pocket. "Or nothing. Anyway, I'll pack after a bit and bid you all goodbye after second midday meal. One must have proper vittles before taking such journey."

"Will you be going by yourself?"

"It need not be so, but I wager the king's roads are safer today than they were fourteen years ago and more." Falco stopped and squinted suspiciously at Eodwine, then at Thornden. "You don't believe me, do you?"

Eodwine and Thornden said nothing but paid extra attention to the remains of their vittles.

"I'll show you! I'll go find Léof right this minute and I'll begone after first midday meal instead of second! In fact, I'll leave right after second breakfast! See if I don't!"

With that Falco walked out of the kitchen in a huff, opening the door in a hurry. Ginna happened to be coming in from outside with a tray of water cups. Caught by surprise by the suddenly opened door, she tripped and the tray fell, splashing all over the sputtering hobbit.
