#8 Onward to Rivendell!

About two days later, Biblo and Marigold set off to Rivendell on their two pints that also carried their belongings. Biblo had a small walking staff for a hobbit, as they walked. The traveling was fun and peaceful. They talked about nature and stories of when they were little. But what Marigold liked the most, was when Biblo told her of his quest with the company of Thorin Oakenshield which was the last time he was on this road.

He told her about how he save them form the trolls, which frightened her some but he assured her that there were no more to be found where they were. He told her about Rivendell, and they rough escape form Goblin Town and the rescue of Eagles. He told her about Beorn and Mirkwood and its spiders and Laketown with Smaug. He told her everything and she hung on his every word.

They stopped about mid day to eat the lunch that Marigold had packed for them. They found a grass spot next to a stream where them watered their ponies and let them feed on grass. While they ate their sandwiches they laughed and talked and enjoyed the beauty around them.

Unfortunately, it was all too soon when they had to leave and start off again. Although they didn't need to rush they did have a general time they needed to get there. They traveled until the sun got lower in the sky. They had made good time and were able to stop in an inn at Bree. When they got there it was a little more packed then they thought and they could only get one room so they took it.

When they got to the room Biblo said Marigold could have the bed and he would make a makeshift one of blankets and pillows for himself.

"But Biblbo.."

"No, you're not sleeping on the floor. It'll be fine, it'll be comfy enough."

"Or we could share the bed. I mean look at the size of it. It was made for a man, surely the two of us can fit in there with no problem."

Biblo looked a bit hesitant but agreed. They got ready for bed and then climbed under the covers taking opposite sides.

In the middle of the night Biblo woke up to find the temperature had dropped significantly in the night. He saw Marigold shivering and he wonder if she was as cold as he was.

"Marigold." He said softly to see if she was still awake.

"Y-yes Biblo? I'm sorry did I w-wake you?"

"Oh no, no. I woke up in my own. Are you cold?"

"J-just a l-title."

"Well why isn't you come closer to me? I'm warmer then you and being closer will help warm us both up."

"O-okay-y." Said Marigold shivering. She scooted more towards Biblo as he did the same. He wrapped his arms around her and she felt warmer already. She liked him holding her. She snuggled against his chest and wrapped her arms around his torso.

Biblo kissed her where the top of her forehead and long wave blond hair meet. "Goodnight Marigold." He whispered. The feeling of his warm breathe her made her shiver.

"Goodnight Biblo. Thanks."

"You're welcome." He said as he smiled against her hair and they fell asleep in each other's embraces.

The next morning they woke up and got ready today it the trail. Sometime tomorrow they were to arrive in Rivendell and if they had wanted to get there they had better get a move on.

They packed up their things and Biblo paid the inn for their night stay. Biblo helped Marigold on her pony and then d mounted his own.

"Onward to Rivendell!" He said and started his pony. Marigold giggled at him and started right behind him.
