Gimli felt a pain in his side as he fell out of bed and onto the stone floor three feet below.
Confused as to how he had came to be in a small hobbit sized top bunk, Gimli wandered outside stroking his beard. He stretched his arms and walked over to a servant who was tending his young horse 'Gloin'.
"Where is the elf lord Legolas?"
The servant shook his head, and quickly jogged off.
Gimli could remember being woken up by the guards as they marched passed looking for Legolas. When the noise had ended, he had been led to the room and for the second time that day had fallen into a deep, dreamless sleep.

Now he stood outside, next to the stables with Gloin. His heavy axe swinging from a strap across his shoulders. He stood briefly thinking of what to do next...but within seconds his decision was made and he was pushing open the doors to an Inn. Patience is for the foolish

As he entered, the tables of men roared with laughter. Gimli wisely ignored them and leaped up onto one of the barstools.
"We don't often see your kind in here dwarf" The bartender said unkindly.
"You don't often see this sort of thing in here either" replied Gimli, as he wrapped his hands around his axe and pulled it from the shoulder strap.
The bartender lept back a foot and cowered against the wall. The Inn fell silent.

"I'm looking for an elf... Legolas Greenleaf. He was part of the fellowship of the ring, and is a close personal friend of the King." Gloin said powerfully.

"The kings guards are looking for him. If I were this Legolas, I'd be far away by now" said the terrified bartender.

Gimli put his axe back into the harness, and exited the Inn. Within seconds, normal conversation had been resumed. Back outside again, Gimli was clambering onto Gloin. It was difficult for the short creature to mount an animal of Gloin's size, but not impossible, and after a brief moment of thought...Gimli was riding off into the distance to find his friend.
