For whoever wishes to cross paths...
Pippin soon found himself rather finely dressed; a gold-embroidered jacket and vest outfit he’d found in his room. He awkwardly adjusted the cuffs of his shirt as he stepped out of the building, looking around the eerily empty street.

Silently he meandered from corner to corner, giving nervous smiles to every unrecognizable face... And for a while, exploring the corners and alleyways of the city was satisfying.

Eventually, however, he sat down on the front steps of a building, resting his chin in his hands, grey eyes scanning the square. Throughout his life he’d learned not to feel so small as he once did; at the moment he was finding it a bit difficult. This near-empty city seemed to be full of almost nothing but Big Folk, and while the occasional dwarf was a welcome sight, he had yet to see any other hobbits, or indeed anyone he recognized.

He sighed, his spirit sinking. In one sense he knew where he was, and in another... What am I doing here?, he thought to himself, looking towards the sky.

Celebrían stepped out of the small bakery, where she'd become quite the regular, with a basket full of sweets to take home and enjoy. Before taking two steps, she saw the hobbit sitting - though she didn't know he was a hobbit, to her eyes, he was a child.

She frowned, and stood beside him, kneeling down a bit. "Are you lost little one?" She asked him, keeping her voice gentle, as she didn't want to frighten him, if he were lost, she was sure he was frightend enough.

Realizing the question was directed at him, Pippin looked up towards the elf who stood beside him. 'Little one'... it had been a long time since anyone had addressed him as such. This new existance was going to take quite a bit of getting used to.

"I am hardly little to my own people," he said, sitting up as straight as he could, "And in fact I'm a bit troubled by their absence in this place. As for being lost, well..." he took another look around, "I suppose one is always lost in a place they've never been before." And he once again rested his chin in his hand.

"You're a hobbit." As if he didn't know himself. She smiled warmly, and sat beside him. "You've just recently joined the reborn then? I apologize if I offended you before, I may have the keen eyes of an elf, but you seem but a child to them at the slightest glance."

He shook his head, flashing a little smile. "It's only that it's been a long while since anyone's made that mistake about me. It was a bit of a shock to hear it again." Feeling introductions were in order, he stuck out his hand. "Peregrin Took, Son of Paladin and Thain of the Shire. Though... I don't suppose I will be here, will I?" He wondered if a place like the Shire even existed in this new world.

She accepted his hand, and gave her own. "And I am Celebrían, I was the Lady of Rivendell, daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel." She thought for a moment. "Peregrin Took. Your name sounds familiar. Hmm, perhaps it came up in some half taken story Elrond told me."

The smile got wider. "Well, I have had dealings with Elves in the past... Though the time from which Lord Elrond probably remembers me best is when I became a part of the Fellowship of the Ring."

"Ah, you were a part of the Fellowship. I don't pass my husbands stories off as much as I think I do. It is an honour then, to meet you then Peregrin." She nodded with a smile. "Oh, pardon my rudeness. I remember being quite hungry when I awoke. Would you like a biscuit? I've got plenty." Celebrían pulled the cloth back from the many stll warm treats she'd picked up a before meeting the hobbit.

The mention of biscuits reminded Pippin of his lack of breakfast, something he'd near forgotten while lost in the wonder of the city.

"If you don't mind," he said with a sheepish little grin, extracting two golden biscuits from the basket, "Although if you've never met a hobbit I should probably warn you of our appetites. I'd hate to be the end of that basket of yours." He took a bite, chewed, swallowed. "Perhaps you could point me towards someplace I could get something for myself?"

Celebrían laughed, with a smile. "Of course. There is this place that we're sitting in front of, a bakery of sorts. Just down the path there is a market place, you can get fruits and vegetables, meats and the like there."

She stopped to think of anything else he may need.

"Have you a place to live? I awoke in a house, but I know others rose out in the woods. There is plenty of housing if not."

His brow furrowed. "I did wake up in a bedroom. So I suppose if that's the way things work around here, that's my new home... A very lonely home it'll be though, if none of my old friends are around to share it." He stared wistfully at the sky for one moment longer, and then he got to his feet.

"Well, it's been a pleasure meeting you, Lady Celebrían," he said with a little nod of the head, "I'm sure we'll meet again." Having decided that the biscuits were quite good, he turned to open the door of the bakery.
