The Green Dragon Inn - Part 4

[Amanaduial the archer]

OCC: The night before.

Aman was keeping a careful eye on the dwarf. The hobbit beggar, Rumto, was renowned for being a troublemaker, but shouldn't the no weapons policy have dealt with such problems of violence? Nay, this dwarf could indeed be a problem...

The Innkeeper made her way across to the other side of the room, near one of the large window seats, where the hobbit was looking actually quite terrifying, her hands on her hips as she glared at a pair of men who had refused to share rooms earlier. As Aman came up, her hands held behind her back quite innocently, the two men couldn't help suddenly thinking of how those hands had very recently taken the sword from beneath the bar for the second time that week. Under the carefully innocent eyes of Aman and the matronly and fierce ones of Cami, the two men hastily made up, making their apologies and agreeing to share the room. And thank goodness, for now there was another guest.

"We have another, Cami," Aman murmered to her friend. "The dwarf wants a room."

The hobbit looked at her friend despairingly. "He wants a room as well?!"

"Well, we could let him share with one of the hobbits, couldn't we? How about Rumto? We would be able to rid ourselves of one guest." Aman replied cynically. Cami grinned and tapped her lightly on the arm.

"Now, now Aman. Anyway, if that dwarf attempts to disturb the peace once more, he will be out on his ear immediately, as will anyone else who tries to cause any more trouble."

Aman gave a large, dramatic sigh. "Oh, mores the pity. My hand is beginning to wear quite a nice hold in the handle of that sword. Anyway," she continued on a more serious note, turning her eyes from the common room to Cami. "What are we to do about our noble messenger friend, and his lack of friend? Is there anyone else who can share? I don't know how long he intends to stay here, and come to that, I'm not sure he is either."

Cami sighed. "Oh, I don't know. He assured me that he was happy enough to stay in the stables tonight, but we must think of something better."
