A Plea for Trainen

Hobbit Ranger Copper

Talia.Sunsong flutters into market

Copper Lotus waves his glass at the sexy merchant and asks her what kind of liquor she is selling.

Talia.Sunsong: Greetings Copper

Copper Lotus:  waves his glass and asks for  "somthin strong"

Copper Lotus: Oh! Copper Lotus turns

Copper Lotus: Greetins Fae Talis

Talia.Sunsong:  You want a strong drink? We can go to the dairy farm and look for triple cream

Copper Lotus: Taliria, Tal um sumthin

Fitheach Eun: Quel undome, everyone

Talia.Sunsong: Talia rhymes with mischievous

Copper Lotus: Oh, I don't think that will work

Talia.Sunsong: Greetings Fit

Copper Lotus finds his manners. “Greetins Druid Fit”

Talia.Sunsong: Talia's hand reaches to tug on Fit's braid, but she grabs her hand with her other hand

Fitheach Eun looks suspiciously at Talia... ‘Where is your auntie this evening, Copper?’

Copper Lotus: Oh, she ain't feelin well. So I did say I would come

Talia.Sunsong: Cream always works as a strong drink for me

Fitheach Eun: Oh dear that is too bad; does she need anything?

Copper Lotus:  Naw- just peace and quiet. You heard about me scout Tobo?

Talia.Sunsong: I can get you Fae juice for whatever ails you. It can be a quick pick me up for Fiesty

Fae Talia

Copper Lotus smiles at the fae and sways a bit

Fitheach Eun: No Copper, what happened with Tobo?

Copper Lotus: Oh, he was kilt by a Drow..

Fitheach Eun: oh no; how did that happen?

Talia.Sunsong Damn the Drow!

Copper Lotus looks into his cup and goes for more honey mead

Fitheach Eun: Have you or Fiesty notified the elven council?

Talia.Sunsong kicks at snow angrily "Damn Drow nuisances"

Copper Lotus: Well, he did this amazing sword fight with this Drow we found near the bridge

Fitheach Eun: Which bridge?

Copper Lotus: But the Drow did cut his leg and run away

Talia.Sunsong Curse the Drow

Copper Lotus: Bridge tween Riverlands and the Shire…

Copper Lotus: So, anyway - it as just in the leg sos I ran fer Fiesty and she came quick

Fitheach Eun sighs and looks concerned..."Have you seen any drow actually in the shire?"

Copper Lotus: But the vein he was stabbed in was, my auntie called it a major sumthin. So he bled out too quick

Fitheach Eun: artery?

Copper Lotus: Yea

Talia.Sunsong Do Hobbits reincarnate?

Copper Lotus: And now the Shire is like a bees nest- all kinds of hollerin and blamin going on

Copper Lotus: I don't think so Fae Tal--ia

Fitheach Eun: I am not surprised; I know his mother and father slightly

Talia.Sunsong Maybe the Hobbit will come back as a baby Hobbit or an elf or a Fae

Copper Lotus: They be nasty and gonna make some waves

Talia.Sunsong nods as she is used to hollerin and blamin

Copper Lotus: Hear - they got cause - their son died, on my watch

Fitheach Eun: From your description it sounds like he chose to fight the Drow though?

Copper Lotus grabs the mead and fills up

Talia.Sunsong  It's the Drow's fault not your fault

Copper Lotus: I dunno- we ain't rangers- we need trainin up.

Talia.Sunsong Combat training?

 Copper Lotus: I was gonna ask Lady Amethyst if she could lend us some trainers. Or Druid Jaekob

Copper Lotus: Would you have the use of some trainer rangers Druid Fit?

Fitheach Eun: I will speak to the elven guard if you wish?

Talia.Sunsong The sooner you Hobbit rangers learn to fight, the better

Fitheach Eun: And see if they will send someone to train you

Copper Lotus: That would be splendid. Copper Lotus tucks into another glass of mead

Fitheach Eun: I agree that you need some support; do you all have weapons?

Fitheach Eun: That's a good start

Fitheach Eun looks seriously at Copper..."Drowning yourself in mead will not help the situation."

Talia.Sunsong I think of Hobbits with knives as cooks but I guess times, they are a changing

Copper Lotus: tis but a sip...

Fitheach Eun: looks like much more than a sip to me

Talia.Sunsong I fly into trees if I drink too much

Copper Lotus: I amma supposed to be sellin Fiesty's food. Yer want any?

Talia.Sunsong eyes shoot over to the table

Fitheach Eun: what would Fiesty say if she saw you drinking up all her mead?

[16:52] Copper Lotus shakes his head

Later ……….

Copper asks Fit for Training

Copper Lotus: Thank yer fer having a word with the Rangers. It would ease our mind if we had better trainen

Fitheach Eun: I fear we all need more training these days

Talia.Sunsong I didn't get much training and I'm perfectly fine, but I’m not a ranger

Copper Lotus nods, holding his cup

Fitheach Eun: If the elves cannot spare anyone; I will speak to the guard captain

Copper Lotus: That would be a treat

Fitheach Eun: We will get you some help one way or another

Talia.Sunsong You'll be like the best warriors ever after Elves train you!

Copper Lotus grins lopsidedly

Fitheach Eun: Let me go right now and see if I can catch the elven rangers before they leave on night patrol

Copper Lotus nods. That would be great

Fitheach Eun: Namaarie and safe paths to you both

Copper Lotus: I think I am gonna go see me friend at the Green Lizard now. Copper Lotus burps loudly

Talia.Sunsong but don't feel too bad?

Copper Lotus: I will see you about Fae Talia

Talia.Sunsong I'll take you to Fairylands later to make you feel better

Copper Lotus: Ahh- that might be nice... Copper Lotus walks off in a daze

Talia.Sunsong nods

Copper Lotus: Good night to you Lady Fae

Talia.Sunsong waves with one hand holding cake, ”fare well, brave Hobbit”
