The bustling market of Hobbiton faded into a blur as Bilbo, clad in his blue ostrich-feather jacket, scrambled toward the stone bridge, desperate to evade Farmer Worrywort’s questions about wizards. His hurried retreat ended abruptly with a collision. A stranger tumbled onto the cobblestones, sending Bilbo’s basket spilling its contents. The hobbit yelped, eyes wide with apology, while the stranger lay amidst the scattered goods. Dust motes danced in the sunlight as the two figures paused, the commotion drawing wary glances from nearby villagers. The stranger began to gather their things, muttering softly about an old wizard’s advice, their gaze locking onto the flustered hobbit who stood frozen in awkward regret.
