It was Merry who first spoke up. "Mom, Roy and I have just been talking to one another at school. It's not as if we're going out on dates."Merry's fat...er picked up on that. "My dear, you're only fifteen years old!" I'm going to be sixteen in a couple of weeks!"The conversation turned uncomfortable, but the waitress showed up with the food at that moment.We ate in an uneasy silence.After about five minutes, Lynette broke the silence. "Merry, did Mrs. D. tell you when you'd be able to do the. They both had a crush on the girl who ran the club and were eager to see her any chance that they got. I could understand their eagerness. She was a little beauty!"I'll take them over if you like," I said, thinking it would be nice to catch a glimpse of her myself and it would give the two women a chance to talk some more if they needed to."No it's alright. I'll do it," said Tessa insistently and she started to herd the boys down the path to the hut where the children's club took place before I. "Well that is a relief and who pray tell is it?" Arnial."********Arnial arrived in the City of Dale and was promptly taken to the main hall by Bard who upon arrival dismissed himself.She went inside to find Thranduil and Legolas waiting for her, they had a few unmoving elven warriors standing around them acting as guards to the king. She gave a small bow from the hips and looked up at him cautiously as he started to walk around the room his eyes locked on her."Well if your back than that means. It wasn't the Coast Guard, but it was the next best thing—the State Police. I described what was happening, including the fact that my cell phone service was down. They wanted to know the registration numbers on the boat. I had a spotting scope (that had seen better days) in my office. I laid it on the window casing for stability and took a look. I got 'ME-ARJ' then the trees blocked the rest. I told the nice man what I'd seen and verified that they were still shooting at my place. They thanked.
