"Hobbits? No, I've never heard of you, and I think even if you do keep to yourselves, someone would have sussed you out here by now. I've been reading books in the library by this great traveler: Brother Genitivi. He's been everywhere, and I'll bet he would have found hobbits somewhere if they existed in this world." Her expression is gentle as she adds, "Not everyone here is kind to those who aren't like them, but you can be assured that I will be. You can ask me anything you wish, and I'll do my best to help you."
