"Never thought I'd say it, but I've never been so fond of elves before! Food, at last...!" "'ere, you don't think it's poisoned, do you? Not, y'know, the elves, but... you never know with those 'igh-ups, might be they think it's the best time to be rid of us, now that we're all so hungry we're eating lake weeds!" "Dunno, don't care. I'd rather die with a stomach full of delicious poison than of cold and hunger... let's hope the council rationed this extra food carefully, so there's more when we run low." Well, at least some relief have come for the poorest of Esgaroth - an unexpected boon of food given by King Thranduil's folk has been given out, and the city council promised that they'd do the same thing again in a fortnight. Best hang on 'til then!

LOUSE was up Firespark Lane and was overcome by the fishy smell. Along came AIDAN who offered the girl a free first drink at his new establishment off of Market Square known as The Longboat. DELLING, who was around as well, was offered a chance to do some minstrelling, but Louse said that the minstrel was loud and not what Aidan wanted. Delling cut the girl down by saying that she was the one who was loud and had lost jobs because of it. Charmed by this duo, Aidan led things back to his common room to have a chat with Delling while Louse had her drink.
