Better Safe Than Sorry

Elladan and Elrohir returned from patrol very late; cold, wet and mud-splattered.  As they crossed the silent hallway Bilbo pattered in, carrying a steaming cup.

"Oh, hello!  I was just making myself a little nightcap."  He blinked, taking in their appearance. "Bless me, you're soaked!   Here, have this before you catch your deaths of cold!"  He thrust the cup at Elrohir.

Elrohir was about to explain that they did not suffer from colds as mortals did, but delicious scents of wine, cinnamon and nutmeg reached him.  He took a warming sip.  "Thank you.  ‘Tis better to be safe than sorry!”
