It was a real struggle for Ellaryn when the chocolate cake was placed in front of her. Never had she felt so welcome in her travels, and almost a dark thought crossed her mind that perhaps she hadn't done anything to deserve such a gift. She cast her eyes around the room and saw that only Aelin and the friendly Dwarf remained. The second Elf in their little group just disappearing up the stairs moving slowly and carefully. "She must be royalty to move with such grace," she thought. She turned back to the innkeeper.

"[color=bc8dbf]Two more forks if you would be so kind, Mr Innkeeper.[/color]" Ellaryn gave her cheery smile to him and then divided the cake into three. Her mouth was starting to water and her eyes kept twitching towards to delicious looking cake, as she approached Aelin and then the Dwarf. Before she reached either, one slice became slightly smaller than the others.

"[color=bc8dbf]Mmmpfff....aster Aelin, for you.[/color]" Els swallowed and offered a fork and a slice of (uneaten) cake the Elven minstrel. She then turned and made her way to the Dwarf. The untouched slice had somehow become a bit smaller and was now the same size as it's small companion. Els wondered how that was possible as she slowly chewed.

"[color=bc8dbf]Mmmpff...ster Dwarf.[/color]" She swallowed the sweet tasting cake and carefully curtsied to him. "[color=bc8dbf]Ellaryn Bracegirdle at you service, and a slice of home in this delicious chocolate cake is yours as well.[/color]" She looked long and hard at the two remaining small slices, then offered a fork and the larger of the two to the Dwarf.

It took two more bites before Els finished the cake and downed the last of her milk. She thanked the innkeeper again, thanked the gathered folks and especially the giant red bearded man. "[color=bc8dbf]Your welcome is much appreciated and went straight to this hobbit's stomach, if only you were one-eighth the size and I would make you the happiest person in Middle-Earth.[/color]"

Once more she stood on a stool to address the inn as a whole. "[color=bc8dbf]Hopefully we will meet again, but we have to meet someone,[/color]" She cast her eyes towards the ceiling, "[color=bc8dbf]Thank you all for your warm welcome[/color]" She curtsied and got down from the stool and went to the staircase where Nora had offered to show the way.

She couldn't help herself and belched as she past the innkeeper.
