The Two Bryns

Late Autumn in Breeland. Determined to ensure Brynleigh would not feel isolated after their arrival in Bree, Ryheric gradually introduced the melancholy widow to his friends. The woman seemed shy, startlingly unapproachable at times around groups. A few uncomfortable first impressions were made, to Ryheric's chagrin. He had hoped to see her thrive a little more, back in civilisation. However, Ryheric knew another person who was timid like that, too. Thus, when Brynleigh chanced upon his meeting with Bryn the Gondorian Scholar, he was keen to see how they would interact. The outcome of the meeting was difficult for him to determine with a few strange and awkward moments between the two. But he held hope that some secret, polite, introverted bonding had been done.
