Back Home: Melba Took

[melbatook]

*walks from the Tuckborough station to Great Smials, opens the great red door and makes her way to her old room, puts down her things, checks to see that Narya is secure in her pocket, and goes looking to see where everyone is*

*steps out of the room she's staying in and spots Melba down the hall* Oh! Hello, dear! You made it after all.

Re:

[melbatook]

Hi! Yeah I . . . *gets shy* . . . here. *holds out bouquet* These are for you.

Re:

[primula_bb]

*takes them, wide-eyed* You're a sweetheart. They're beautiful. *smells them, then kisses her cheek* Thank you.

Re:

[melbatook]

*laughs* I am! And they are. And I missed you. Heh. You're welcome. *gives her a quick kiss on the lips*

Re:

[primula_bb]

Awww, I missed you too. *freezes for a second, then relaxes, returning her kiss* What have you been doing, dear? *reaches for her hand*

Re:

[melbatook]

*parts from her lips smiling*

*gives Prim her hand* Nothing important enough to warrant having forgotten Lover's Day. And it would serve me right if you found some other Took to share that day with. How are you liking it here?

Re:

[primula_bb]

You seemed distracted before we left, dear. Aw, well... I didn't think we'd be out here for more than a day but here we still are. *laughs* That's alright, though. Good hobbits here. *shakes here head at the 'some other Took' comment* It's a very nice Smial. Adamanta and mu-Mirabella are wonderful.

Re:

[melbatook]

Yeah . . . it was . . . nothing, really. *quick covering smile* They are. So you like it? This is where I grew up.

Re:

[primula_bb]

*quietly notes the covering smile the way a mother notices things, but says nothing, only nods*

Yes, it's very nice. *smiles and squeezes her hand* Do you have a room here, then? Does it have some of your work in it?

Re:

[melbatook]

*bites her lip*

Ah, yeah? Wanna see it? *starts leading her down the hall*

Re:

[primula_bb]

Don't chew your lip, dear. *leans and gives her a soft kiss to free her lip of her teeth* It makes them ragged and they get chapped easier. You wouldn't want that.

Sure, dear. I love your woodwork. *follows*

Re:

[melbatook]

*smiles sheepishly at her, returns her kiss, and chuckles*

Well htere's not much there, really. Since I'm not staying here now. *leads her to the room* This is it.

Re:

[primula_bb]

*looks around* It's still very nice. In fact, it reminds me of my room when I still lived in Brandyhall.

Re:

[melbatook]

Yeah? Brandy Hall is a little different than here. Friendly too, but a different kind of friendly.

Re:

[primula_bb]

Oh, of course. They're very different places. But I was talking about the room.

Re:

[melbatook]

Yeah?
