23 - Perfect evening
On a perfect night out I would be in Dottie’s tavern. First there would be one of her famous stews; with some cold ale. As the night gets older I would search out one of the play tables in mixed company. Some men and perhaps a dwarf or two. They would not know me, and I could play the naive young elf on travel, which has some gold with him, but has never played a game of cards.
After they paid me some drinks I would pretend to be a little drunk and join their game. The first few rounds I would deliberately loose, and when they raise the bait I would get on a lucky strike.
But my life has changed a bit, and not only because of my unborn children should I better stay out of taverns.
Here in Elrond’s house I have to search for other forms o entertainment. I don't know if anyone besides the twins know how to play cards, and those two I have not seen since they learned about my state.
Perhaps I should look around and find someone who is wiling to play some chess with me.
If Elrond or Haldir would agree, who knows, perhaps I could even claim a goodnight kiss as my winning price
