Really, he didn't expect the hobbit to show up after what had happened. He wouldn't blame Sam for avoiding him, he hadn't exactly reacted well to...well. Much of anything. But at least there had been an attempt to smooth it over on his part. But Sam had looked petrified of mis-stepping, and if there was one thing Krem found frustrating, it was people pussyfooting around him.

And, he liked Sam. Little guy was pretty alright. Perhaps a little skittish for what was happening around here, but he'd settle down in time. Maybe taking the time to drink with him would help.

So here he was, back in his armor, a layer of both physical and psychological protection, with a bottle in hand and a mug settled across from him of sweetened mulled cider. Sam would like that, right?

Houses built into the hills? Now that sounded damned economical to him. "Must be damned cozy like that. Saves space or things too. Probably pretty. I grew up in a city but it was smaller than most. Traveled everywhere though. Always something to see outside your own walls. I'm almost surprised we haven't come across hobbits of our own out here, but who knows? Maybe we haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to how much world there is here."

Sam lights up at that. "Do you really think there are other hobbits here?" He considers it for a moment, but then shakes his head, his face falling. Even Galadriel had heard of hobbits, even if she'd never seen one, maybe.

"I - I don't know about that. It's a lovely thought and all, but surely someone must have seen one sometime, if there were any here at all." And no one had; he's been mistaken for a dwarf enough times to be sure of that.
