Tom's owl to Sallie arrived this morning, as expected.

Complete with her request. Tom is nothing if not helpful.

She's sitting at a table, with two stoppered vials in front of her on her lap, and she's going over the directions on the parchment that had been included alongside.

In general? This is one time she's probably not very approachable.

Boromir sees her at once, and a smile plays about his lips as he joins her. "Madam," he says with a bow.

"Oh, yes," he says as he takes the chair. "I practice every day no matter what the weather.

"How are you? Did you find homes for all your trinkets?"

"Indeed," Boromir says, looking puzzled. "And what is a hologram? Some sort of messenger?"

"I . . . see." He focuses on the important thing: "That word you said--baobei--what does that mean?" He adds, "Are you becoming fond enough of me for nicknames?"

He smiles nonetheless. "I like it. Baobei. It's quite pretty."

"Is that what you speak? We simply call it Common in Middle Earth. The language of Men and Halflings." He adds, "Shall I order some dinner for us? Are you hungry?"

He flags a waitrat and requests suppers for both of them, the simple food he is accustomed to.

"Will that suit?" he asks Sallie.

He beams, pleased, and takes a glass. "Certainly. It will be my pleasure."

He takes a sip.

Boromir's frowning.

Something . . . is very odd.

He looks at Mrs. Reynolds. She is a good woman, kind and strong, and while there's a well of affection for her it's not . . . the same.

"Madame," he says quietly, "I fear I may have embarrassed you."

"We can still eat supper together," he says quickly. "There is no reason for friends not to break bread together."
