'I am pleased to meet you, Player. You are a friend of Gandalf? Indeed, he is very mysterious.
'I am sorry, I'm not entirely myself today. There are a lot of things on my mind, you might say. This is a place of rest, and I know that Bilbo is very happy spending his days riddling and singing in the Hall of Fire, but...it just feels like I am so far from home.
'Would you take a walk with me? The cool air will do me good, and I would very much like to hear about your adventures.'1/1
'Frodo remains as high in my esteem as ever he did, Player, and I thank you for accompanying him. He is made of stern stuff, our Frodo, and his worries are natural. They will give him strength in hard times, rather than bring him to weakness. Frodo will be fine.
'I thank you, Player. May your travels bring you out of danger quickly if they chance to bring you into it!'1/1
