We're out!

Gertrude and I stumbled onto a path earlier. We're out of the forest. In one piece. Amazing.

That's it, something's going to kill me. I can tell. I never have this much good luck.

Hullo, little cousin! I'll escort you home and naught will harm you, if Red Hal can help it. What were you going get lost in the Old Forest for?--those trees aren't the friendliest.

[holfastgardner]

A mistake, mostly. I went for a walk with my dwarf, and then we got lost. Thanks for walking me home.

[halfastgamgee]

Well, I'm glad it turned out no worse then.

Hullo, friend dwarf.

Oh, think nuthin of it. I was just passing through on my way to see Ms. Mirabella about some wood she'll be needing, so it's on my way. Not like its ever a bother to take time out for family.

Yeah, me too.

Gertrude, this is Halfast. Halfast, Gertrude.

Oh really? Tell her I said hi, ok?

[halfastgamgee]

*shakes Gertrude's hand* Pleased to meet you, m'am.

I'll do just that. You keep from getting lost now, alright?

*nudges, whispers* Sir. Mr. Aule said he was running out of names, but Gertrude's a boy dwarf.

I'll try not to. I'm getting tired of being lost.

[halfastgamgee]

Oh. *winces* Sorry, sir. It was only the name that threw me off, sir. Of course, you're a he-dwarf.

Well, if you need a forest guide, give a holler. Me and the trees, we have an understanding, you see. It's good to see you Holfast.

Oh, I'll remember that. Good to see you, too.
