The farmer looks increasingly dubious as Curufin keeps explaining, snorting at one point with such abruptness that a chicken squawks in startlement.
Nita holds her breath, wondering how this is going to go.
"Well, you're certainly dedicated. I'm not as sure I believe you, but... if it was important enough to bring you to these lengths, then you should at least be listened to."
A few of the chickens return to the farmer's side, not in the least at Nita's encouragement, and the man continues, "I have a second cousin who's an architect, who lives within a mile south of here. He helps ensure the walls are kept in quality condition. I will pass your word along to him, and his family."
He gestures for them to follow him. "Come; if we're going to be moving everyone further south, I will need help getting these animals of mine in order again."
