A Festive Occasion Among Friends and Others: Bingo Bolger-Baggins

[bingo_bolger_baggins]

So Elanorelle and I brought the first course out while being regaled with an accounting by a very ebullient Celly of her time with Feanor in the smithy--it's quite nice to see her so bubbly. We hobbits were just about to toast and start in on our own when Feanor joined us, shortly followed by his grandson Celebrimbor, who I haven't even gotten a chance to greet yet, I'm sorry to say. I see he's having a nice chat with Elanorelle and Folly. I do wish Grandmum were here as Feanor said he would like to meet her.

Anyway, I had gotten up to chop some more salad, and it's a good thing too, I suppose, because we have just been joined by yet another guest, Feanor's son Curufin, who Melba is attending to, and ah, good! There's Uncle Sennie, finally.

I'm sorry, Curufin, I just got distracted looking at this lovely arrangement. And then I had to help fetch in the second course. I am Bingo, Bingo Bolger-Baggins--Bingie is just what close friends sometimes call me. You said you are a Warrior Princess? have many skills, this being quite a fine one. You asked something else.

But one moment, does anyone need more wine?

*raises empty glass* Yes! Wine, please, Bingo. Half a glass only, though. I would not want to embarrass my father or grandfather again with improper behavior.

And I must say, your presentation is lovely. *indicates table* Thank you for including me on your guest list.

Everything looks and smells wonderful, Bingo. *holds up still-full glass* And I'm fine, thank you. Is there anything I can do?

Ah, pleased to make your acquaintance, Bingo.



((Was that a Xena line? Ahahah!))

*returns from his room, where he's put the parrot (since it makes some of the guests uneasy; must be the bright colours)*

*walks up to Bingo*

What'd I miss?

*gets up, walks over to Curufin's chair to stand behind it; thinks carefully about what he is going to say* Father, with so many of us here tonight, I did not get a chance to speak to you alone. Thank you for coming to my rescue. I did call to you when I felt as though I were in danger from Grandfather.

*decides it's about the right time for this, carefully climbs up on his chair and stands*

MAY I HAVE EVERYONE'S ATTENTION!!!

*holds up his glass, clears throat*

Now that we're all here together, I think its time we had a toast. So, I want some proposals: what should our toast be? *looks around the room*
