"Do you know anyone in Bree?", it had been that question, and a discussion about the Pony that had drawn her into Bree and through those doors. No sooner entering the rugged smiling face had greeted her with a deep booming voice and offer of a drink. It wasn't long before they were sitting on the rug before the fireplace and chatting. Tjarikh was far from anything she had expected, but then she had no idea what to expect on first meeting a dwarf. For some reason it was easy, talking with this man, he was practical, friendly, hearty, and the conversation flowed far easier than she expected. He was insightful and wise, and shared his thoughts.
It wasn't long before they were joined by Ani (Anurania), a coy gentle spoken woman. Brown short hair and a friendly manner. The three of them talked easily and shared the fire. Talked of Ani and Tjarikh family and homes, a little of her own. Some confusion over her not knowing other Rohan people in the area, but it was easily a laughed away. Not too long before Tjarikh was offering to show them some place outside of the Pony and Ani wanting to introduce Hammar, her hound.
Under Tjarikh's favorite tree in Jasmine's garden they talked more before parting. It had been a good evening after all. Hopefully she would see them again. Both had been good company. Not so hard to go out and mix with people in Bree after all. Jasmine flowers in the air, the walk back so light and easy. Perhaps its time to spread wings a bit more and float on the wind a little, see what else was out there. Meeting people wasn't so bad after all.
