'Oh...<name>... where did the time go? It seems as if the Welcoming Feast just began, but it also feels as if it has been going on forever! The food has been so delicious, but... but...'
Bingo's face has gone quite green, and he does not look very happy.
'I fear that I may have... overindulged... rather a little. I... really do not feel very well. It's just that everything... everything looked so delicious, and there were so... so many courses. It would have been impolite not to eat my fill! Do you... do you think you could speak with... with a healer? There must be some remedy... that will help.'
Background

Do you... do you think you could speak with... with a healer? There must be some remedy... that will help.'
- Lili Gardhur: 'Yes? How can I help ye? Ah, Bingo did not understand the importance of pacing himself, did he? A Welcoming Feast is no small thing, as I am certain we told ye, time and time again!
- 'I can brew a tea that should help him to feel better, but my stock of tea leaves has gotten rather low. If ye will cut several flushes of tea for me, I can brew some for poor Bingo.
- 'Take this knife of mine and look for likely plants outside the village. Cut only from the top of the plants, about a hand-length down from the top. Three flushes of tea should be enough, the more fresh the better!'

- Haley Meadowsweet: 'The food was very good, but I am no hobbit. I stopped eating days ago, and Bingo should have done the same!
- 'I think encountering that dragon might have knocked some sense into Theodore, because he actually seems to be listening to me now. He is fortunate, because otherwise he would surely be feeling as poorly as Bingo right now!'

- Lili thinks for a moment, and then her eyes alight and she stabs the air with a triumphant finger.
- 'I think the tea was too cold, <name>! I have a fresh pot of tea brewing on the milestone fire just there.

- 'It does put me in mind of my home, <name>. I remember quiet evenings at my dinner table, setting into a modest dinner by candlelight. They were lonely meals, it's true, and I would not trade my new friends for anything, but it is comforting to think of the Shire. I wonder how the old place is managing?

- 'I love food, but whose idea was it to eat for a week? Some traditions might be a little excessive, if ye ask me! Could I ask ye one thing, <name>? Please don't tell the Maer I said such to ye.
