TOK, TOK,!!
Can I enter in your new tavern, Master Barliman ?

We must have been typing at the same time Mistress Sevlag as we both appear  to have arrived together

Yes, Master David
Perhaps we can take our breakfast together?

Indeed, why not, where's the Barkeep

I like the new curtains that you hang around master innkeeper... the window look better, cleaner and lighter... this could be a problem for out Man in the Dark... but also for a many orcs which are bred around.... they urgently need to be eliminated. Otherwise, they could swarm to the inn and make a mess....

Any way good morning to all and cheers ! One hobbit tea, please master Barliman...

Actually, a skeleton in the corner would probably be good company for the Ranger who usually lurks there.

In fact, I'm not sure I checked his corner had been vacated before I locked the old taproom. I'd better go and check that he's not still there. (I've painted a corner of the new taproom black just to suit him.)

I also need to get the Ent to bring the wargskin rugs from the old taproom - he's the only one with the courage to face them these days.

You're obviously a very shrewd and devious tree, Master Ent. Still, I suppose if you live an age or two you learn a few useful tricks.

Thanks for bringing the rugs (and the Ranger) - I'm sure they'll all settle in nicely once the new room has collected some of the aroma of spilled beer and muddy floorboards ro make it feel more like home.

Good morning, Master B.
If the breakfast quality is as high as in the room 2 than I would like to order it.
Maybe you can serve some flowers too . . . no, not for eating . . .

Sorry, had several "real" crises to deal with that were more urgent than virtual breakfasts. Normal service will be resumed as soon as feasible.

.... hm... I hope nothing's bad... I can not imagine this place without a good hobbit breakfast...

What about Scrumpy ?

huuooooommmm .... no self-service at all, ladies and gentlemen ... rhU°mmm ... no ... not at all ... huomm ... you might have witnessed that our dear barkeep is very much busy with "real life" in case you have read his latest entry... huoommm ... so I think it's better I take over here for a while, before you rascals ruin and plunder the new taproom .... rhu^0m ... I did that once, some time ago when Master Barliman was absent .... rhuoohuom ... you might remember ... gruooômm ... with this I have to put myself in charge of running this new Taproom 3 for a while .... Hom ! ...
... huom ... so, first orders for breakfast tomorrow morning will not be accepted before 10 o'clock ... mind, please ... huom ... any orders tonight will be served tomorrow night ... huom ... you know I cannot haste, dear customers and regulars ...  hom ... I'll do what I can in Master Barliman's absence ... huom ... thank you for accepting this ...

huoommm ... ah, there's a regular ordering ... rhuomm ... huomm ? biscuits? ... well, Master Milo I found some biscuits I saved in taproom 2, you remember the left-overs from Yuletide ... huomm ... er, not very much crunchy any more, you know ... but as biscuits are not very often ordered in The Pony they're all I can serve you ... huomm ... mind please, that some people think that wine becomes better after some ages ... huooomm ... I think it'll be the same with biscuits ... rhu°om ... ah yes, cup of tea you said ... rhuom ... just a moment, please ... hoooom? ... alas, there's no cup behind the bar, so I think a mug will do, right? ... hom ... tea? ... yes, I know, that's the watery-honey-coloured liquid ... huom ... I have it here in one of the tabs ... huomm ... so you'll have a fresh draught honey-coloured-tea-thing liquid served by a treeish (not Breeish) master-barkeep in charge ... huom?
as for warmth you found the hearth to warm your fuzzy feet ... hom ... right, if  you want a warm tea-ish-honey-coloured liquid I advise to place the mug next to your feet and wait awhile ... rhuoomm ...
Hah, that's what we Ents call perfect service ... rhuôm ...
