Before any sort of invitations could be made, Isengar found himself and his guide approached by another. He wasn’t sure what to expect, but being invited to the Steward’s table wasn’t it. As he was addressed, Isengar clasped his hands behind his back and smiled, making use of his manners and appreciating the hospitality he was receiving, as well as what he had received so far.<br/><br/>To be fair, he wasn’t all that sure as to why he was here. He had no business with the elves, no reason to be here other than sheer curiosity. But would Arthalion accept that? Or was he looking for a more definite answer. Isengar hoped it wasn’t the latter as he had none to give.<br/><br/>The Hobbit glanced between the table he had been motioned to and Tathariel who seemed to be quite excited over this turn of events. From eating alone with the young elf, to be asked to join the others of much higher standing, it was definitely an experience.<br/><br/>“Why thank you, it would be an honour.” Isengar answered before hearing what Tathariel had to say in the matter. So this was a rarity...Isengar didn’t know how to feel about that. On one hand, honoured, overjoyed, excited beyond compare. On the other, nervous, even a little frightened. He had learned that Hobbits weren’t often guests here, and now this. This sure was shaping to be quite a day.<br/><br/>Yet another surprise awaited the Hobbit when Tathariel kissed his cheek before skipping off. An expression of mild shock covered his face, his right hand raising to lightly touch the spot before he mentally shook himself. He had been invited to eat with the Steward, he needed to focus and have his head clear. There was no going back now.<br/><br/>Approaching the table, Isengar nervously addressed the Steward before taking a seat.<br/><br/>“Mr. Arthalion, sir...I uh...thank you for inviting me to join you. It’s not everyday one gets to be in the company of one such as yourself.” He hoped he hadn’t made a fool of himself. Isengar, like most Hobbits, knew very little of the affairs and people outside of the Shire, but basing his information off of the reaction his guide had given, he had a feeling this was someone of importance.
