*takes his glass and fills halfway, smiling jovially at this refreshingly awkward elf* Embarrassing one's elders is good for everyone involved. *whispers* Don't worry; we've got you covered. Be sure to eat plenty and lots, then you can drink more without worry of getting inebriated. That's the Hobbit Way to Sobriety. Unless you're trying to get inebriated--then there's much imbibing to do.

Thank you, but I can only take credit for part. Elanorelle, Melba, and Uncle Sennie did their share. See that dragon centerpiece? Uncle Sennie made that. *smiles brightly* I'm delighted to have you. Tobey is welcome to join us as well. Are you well settled at the flet?
