When Thaddeus saw the Laveaus arrive at Hobbiton with so many tickets on the camera he’d get up and start to head over even though it wasn’t his night to work. The guy couldn’t help himself. He’d be late, but he’d show up eventually to play his Green Dragon part. 

Delta, Frank, Victor, Zero, and Bastien, Maddy, Scout, Thomas, and Valerie made quite the group. Frank got all the stares though Zero and Thomas might be a match for scars under the clothes and peeking out from the neck. 

There were two tour choices and Valerie was kind enough to give the Belleroses a choice. So, this was actually Bastien’s call. But, they actually came for the dinner tour which started in the day light and changed over to night and would end with the biggest dinner banquet and the lantern walk. Bastien wanted to be able to experience the grandest experience Valerie described. He felt bad if he chose the lesser experience. She even tried to tell them that they could come back later at night themselves because she had the keys, but Bastien insisted on doing the long tour so he could see all the little details in the light. That meant he’d be shifting at Hobbiton. That was a big deal shift. The tour was only so long and that took time and privacy. It was definitely going to draw attention. Valerie wasn’t sure if she should have let it happen, but the part of her that wanted to share Hobbiton with everyone, and that meant day time too, and night time, then by God Bastien was going to get to see it too. If something went wrong Valerie already decided she’d just force Thaddeus to fix it with that family of his. He just had to because she said so. 

She also never spared dressing up when going to Hobbiton. She often went elven something slightly in Middle Earth style when she went to fit the mood. She was really showing now and her styles were changing in general. She’d been wearing a lot looser clothes for comfort, lots of dresses so there was no restriction at all. Maddy liked to dress up a lot. This was one of those times Maddy couldn’t over dress because Valerie was on it too. She was in good spirits after their snow day the night before. She was dressed in green. She wasn’t bundled up for this one. Hobbiton was like her own backyard. She even took her shoes off and went running when they finally got a chance. She was a nature brat that liked to stay grounded with the earth. 

The tour had finally gotten to a point where they could drift more on their own and roam and she would take every chance to run over the grassy hills in the breeze, her green dress would billow in the breeze. She took a break and sat on the hill to enjoy the sun. She noticed Scout was getting a piggy back from Thomas while he was pointing more things out to Bastien. She thought it was funny even with Scout on his back they weren’t quite as tall as Frank. She’d give her husband a wave to let him know she was taking a break for a moment. Then she waved Maddy in hoping to get a moment alone. “Take a load off. They’ll take us up to for the banquet soon. Enjoy the landscape.. and me for awhile.” She grinned. “No, really. How do you like it? I missed saying goodbye last night. We got separated. You guys having fun yet?” 

Zero and Victor had been here before with them but they didn’t mind an evening tour. They came for the second breakfast short tour last time so this was fun to change it up for them. Delta wouldn’t have came to this place as a vacation spot all on her own without Valerie’s persuasion, but now that they were here she didn’t mind checking it out. A free meal was always cool, so was free ale. She liked the movies, but she wasn’t an uber fan in the way the Laveaus were, but she noticed Tree got pulled in, so she figured she’d entertain it. It was just sort of funny to be all fanboy about a story when they had a world in the fairy realm with walking Trees that were real and not fake. She preferred to focus on the fairy realm Moores than the Ents and other Middle Earth species because... well... reality. But, she thought they were all sort of cute they were obsession a storybook land to the point of Valerie moving to New Zealand and hoarding keys to the movie set on the regular for her own little fantasy. 

I’ve never clicked Visitor Controller so much in my life, but I’ve finally weeded out all of the invading riff-raff and now we only have the merchant class and higher visiting the garden in town, hahaha. 

The audience has been quite receptive so far, with the exception of Lord Geoffrey:
