Begroeting

Kneels precariously on the slippery stones at the edge of the Anduin, his fingers dripping with cold river water as he frantically brushes away the silt from a heavy, mud-caked object

Look! Look here, friend! Smeagol is off chasing frogs again, but I’ve found something far better than a slimy snack. It gave a wink at me from the reeds, it did. Just a little glint, like a fallen star caught in the muck.

He lets out a shaky, excited breath and holds up a small, circular object, rubbing it against his tunic until a bright, golden shimmer pierces through the grey morning mist

'Tis a birthday present, surely? Or a bit of luck sent from the Valar themselves? Come closer—tell me, have you ever seen a gold so pure? It feels... strange in the hand. Warm, almost. What do you make of it?
