Samwise the hobbit hops down the stairs with a big billboard he can barely hold. He climbs up some counters and onto a couple of large barrels with a hammer and nail. He begins to hammer hitting his thumb once and screaming in pain.

After the struggle he gets the billboard that he proudly created and hangs it up for all to see.

It reads:

Very Concise there Samwise,,, didnt want to leave anything out did you?

"Well good morning great one. Of course these prices doesn't mean anything to you. You have unlimited stay with drinks and food as Boromir instructed me. By the way have you seen Boromir this morning?" the hobbit asks.

Then he looks at the billboard and back at the minotaur.

"I would say a good meal is what we need. Afterall we hobbits enjoy six meals a day. I will be right back with a hearty meal," he mentions before disappearing into the kitchen.

No i have not seen Boromir this morning. And a meal would be good.

After what seemed an eternity Samwise comes out with huge platters of food. Sausage, pork, roast, mushroom, cheeses, fruit dishes, ribs, yak milk, porridge, and bacon from a wild forest gnu. He sets the many dishes in front of the minotaur and sits next to him.

"Now this is a meal we hobbits can enjoy," he says grabbing some cheese and fruit.

For someone so small,, you eat like a Minotaur warrior.

"Ha what do you know! I forgot the loaf of bread I baked yesterday and perhaps some butter and jam," he says hopping off his stool and running back to the kitchen.

That halfling eats more than a Minotaur warrior. Draven thinks shaking his head.

"We hobbits love festivals, food, and good pipe. I miss my home of Dilan, but Sinatorium will have to do." He begins to stuff his mouth with food. "So tasty!"

He then goes to the barrels and gets two mugs to fill with dwarven meade.

"Warriors we will never be. Our frames are to small and we can barely lift a sword. If anything we make great burglars. Perhaps you have heard of the legendary Bilbo Baggins," he mentions.

With a loud burp Samwise sits back and looks at the Minotaur with a smile. "You wouldn't mind if I take out my pipe would you?" he asks patting his stomach.

No Samwise,, i no nothing of hobbits. I know very little about most creatures history. Not even my own. I know what happened to me and my blood, but not of the history of the Minotaur.

We hobbits are no different. We keep to our own in our shires. We usually ask a wizard by the name of Gandolf of what happens in the outside world. The only hobbits that usually travel are those who sell the fine grapan liquor we grow and of course those Baggins. They always have a unusual interest in adventure. I use to sell grapan liquor until I lost my business. Now I hang out here. If things go good I will make enough gold to return home in Dilan.

So I know little of other cultures. I mean I never heard of a minotaur until I saw you. I had to whisper in Boromir's ear asking what you are called. He told me that you are a friend of this tavern and have lost your people in somekind of war, Boromir mentions stuffing apple tobacco into his pipe.

It was a sudden attack that none of my kind saw coming. I have always known there are creatures out there i had never seen. But i never counted having to battle them. I knew from the start i was a warrior. But never figured on being a lone warrior,, or being the one to attempt to bring my clan back to its former status.

"Very interesting," Samwise says giving a good s'uck of his pipe to release some smoke.

"I would say that perhaps you will become chief of the entire minotaur race one day. I would let Boromir see into it. He has the gift of foresight you know. I am sure he can tell you alot about your future if you give him a chance. I mean good old Boromir. He has been serving this tavern for over 2 cyclones. Who would ever think he would become a seer. Of all people!" Samwise says chuckling.

Samwise, Boromir has been a comrade of mine since i first discovered this place. He never threatened me and always helped me when i was in need. which is not often. But when my life depeneded on it, his watchful eye was there to direct the right people to me to save me.

"Yes he talks very highly of you also Draven, but it looks like a bigger responsiblity has befallen on him. This is the reason why I am to take over and do the work he use to do. I would say whatever his destiny is, I will support it. Who knows he might be needing you to accompany him? I would go along, but what would a little old hobbit do in such adventures. We hobbits...well most of us just care for food and festivities. This is actually the perfect place for me," Samwise says smoking his pipe.

The size of the warrior is only downed by the size of his heart. He may be small,, but his heart is what can help him win a fight.

Well easy for you to say, as I doubt I could down you with my best efforts unless you were sleeping and I doubt that will even help," Samwise says laughing.

"I would say that my adventure days are over, but Boromir is still young and he always talked about adventuring when he visited me making candles. I use to work at the "Bee Candlewax Shop" for small wages. Am I glad that I don't do that anymore. This is a much better option. Free food and drinks and good company," Samwise says smoking his pipe. The apple flavor lingers in the air giving a cozy atmosphere behind the fireplace and stormy weather.

Boromir has been invited to come with me on some of my treks. I warned him to arm himself before he goes out with me though, it is not a safe trip.
