A Chance Encounter With a Dwarf: Part one

It was a clear sunny day, the breeze flowed through our home. Hrai and Varni were speaking about herb-lore again, which seems to be a popular topic among them. I spoke with Alimaenda about her concerns about our lack of flowers in our home, which wasn't-- in my mind a problem-- but it was in hers. I gathered my satchel and departed, Varni offered to come with me, which I accepted. Varni and I went north, towards the forest where we pondered and wondered. "Father, aren't these woods beautiful?" asked Varni. "Quite so, my dear one. I am glad you offered to come with me, for you seem to be more knowledgeable in herb-lore then me." which was quite true. "Thank you father, I'm glad you and dear mother were able to teach me". Varni was always grateful. We gathered some herbs, some flowers and such, when we arrived at the forest, although we also gathered apples and other fruits. On the way back, we had encountered a Dwarf jeweler. "Hail Elves! what brings you to these woods and hills?". We answered so, and we had a grand chat. "We come in search of herbs and fruits, I am Melethaon, and this is my daughter Varni", we both bowed politely as we said this. "I am Thrin. I am seeking ore and minerals, for I am a miner and jeweler of beautiful things." introducing himself. While we walked the stones of our home, Thrin bowed and bid us part. I gave the herbs, flowers, and apples to Alimaenda and she decorated our home with them. She was glad, and so was I- for I had met with a Dwarf jeweler that I wished to see again. Today was a good day, we had gathered more and made a new friend, but now sleep awaits.
