There's a Creature in the bar.

His face is buried in one of several books, the rest being strewn on the table around him.

Anyone who feels up to getting that face un-buried can feel free to interrupt.

"Orcs, I don't know. Probably the same place as elves." He peers thoughtfully into his beer. "Hobbits . . . I don't know. I think Grandmother said that hobbits were more like big people once, but maybe she meant we came from the same place. She was smart."

But he doesn't like talking about her.

"I keep forgetting to ask you," he says suddenly. "Did you ever find a name?"

"Just pick something you like doing. Something that will take your mind off whatever's bothering you." He frowns.

"No, a hobby's something like fishing or . . . something. Learning could be a hobby, I suppose."

"Well, yes. Hobby just means something to do."

"Yes, but it's kind of hard to build a house when it's raining buckets," Smeagol says, frowning at the weather.

"If only," Smeagol sighs. "I'm so tired of being indoors. And I want to see if the sun is still terrible."
