[He hums thoughtfully.] Hm, the Shire? Ah... It's beautiful there. Peaceful, comfortable, simple beauty with rolling green hills in the spring and summer that go on quite some way. The earth is rich and plentiful, wonderful for farming and gardening of all sorts.
At night when the skies are clear of clouds I liked to sit atop my roof and watch the stars pass over me... I felt very small- well I've always felt small, 'tis natural for a hobbit you know, but looking up at those stars the world feels so much more grand and vast. My mother, she was very odd for a hobbit, but I suppose that's where I got it from - [Small chuckle] she traveled quite a bit before settling down. I always loved to hear her stories as a young fauntling about the world beyond the Shire. Why, I remember running off into the woods in search of elves and fairies, but at the end of the day I found more mud on my shirt and twigs in my hair than anything else.
[He sighs, lost in thought for a moment.] We hobbits are creatures of comfort. It is only sensible that our homes are as comfortable as we can possibly make them to be. It's actually considered quite scandalous to want anything a little more daring or exciting! Certainly anything like an adventure would ruin a hobbit's respectability completely. [And yet he doesn't sound at all perturbed by this, having come to terms with ruining his reputation among his neighbors the moment he ran out his front door.]
