Ruby stood up once she heard that this was Gandalf the Grey's son. "You, are Gandalf the Grey's son...?" She said in utter disbelief. When he brought up the idea of adventure she shook her head. "Oh no, I am not going on an adventure. I'm nothing like my father. He may have saved Middle Earth but I am not like him. I prefer the comfort of my home." She stood and began to walk to her door when she heard a scream. She stopped and looked back. It was odd to hear screaming coming from the Shire. She grew somewhat frightened for a moment, before opening her door to her small home.<br/>---<br/>Alice was walking next to Algar when she heard the screams. She immediately turned back and headed towards the noise. Screams in and outside of the Shire were unusual. The Hobbits were a friendly creature and wouldn't harm a fly. So investigating the scream was number one on her list.
