Ruby shook her head as soon as the wizard mentioned a journey.<br/>"No. No way. My father was the savior. I could never do that." She sighed as the cup fell to the floor and the tea spilled on the floor. She sighed and grabbed a rag, she got on her hands and knees and started to dab at the tea that seeped into the rug.<br/>"Ugh, that's going to stain now." She mumbled softly to herself. She knew that this was going to be a long night.<br/>---<br/>Alice watched as the wizard explained what was going on.<br/>"Well since we are all in the same boat, it would be better for all of us to just travel together." She smiled and turned to her cousin.<br/>"My brother would be pleased to meet the daughter of Bilbo Baggins. And the son of Gandalf the Grey no doubt." She laughed and gave a smile to the others in the room. She kept glancing over at Copper and a small blush would creep past her cheeks before she would look away again.
