Eliad glanced around the inn as soon as he stepped in. Recently, he had gotten a letter from his friend, Tahandil, that he had returned and was staying at the Pony. Deciding that he would visit him, Eliad had gone to the inn. Seeing that no one had resembled his friend, Eliad sighed softly before going to the fireplace. His attention shifted to the flames, not paying attention that someone had walked up behind him.
"So...," said a familiar voice behind him. "I see nothing's changed here. The most excitement you get is watching dancing flames."
