*rounds the corner of the home and walks up the garden path carrying a basket covered with a cloth bulging from whatever the basket is stuffed with* Hello Merin! How are you? Halfast is with me--he should be here shortly.

[merin]

Oh, hello Uncle Bingo. Halfast is here, too? How lovely. ~looks at the basket, trying not to look as though he's looking at the basket~ What've you got there?

[bbolger_baggins]

Yes, he's coming. Where's Lily? *looks around*

Ah, I brought you and Lily some meals freshly cooked and baked from the kitchen of the Backside Smial. I know your favourite is rabbit, but I couldn't procure any in time, so I made you some chicken mushroom pies, a spinach and cheese casserole, rasberry chocolate tarts and Folco baked some good crusty breads for you. *hands him the basket*

*looks behind and sees Halfast rounding the corner of the home* And here comes Halfast with something else we got you . . .

Hey ho, Merin! *comes around the corner leading him*

*sends Merin and Lily a special care package including two mushroom pies, a shepherd's pie made with rabbit, two cheescakes, fresh pomegranates, figs and star fruits, fancy bath bubbles, a couple of jars of homemade spaghetti sauce, extra toiletries so they don't run out, extra fluffy bath robes and towels, sea shells, a hair brush and comb set for Lily decorated with mother of pearl and a set of exquisite fine art papers for Merin*

~sends Elly a sheaf of sketches showing their new house and Lily playing with a cat, as well as a couple of letters telling about their time and a thank you note~
