Lann and the Qilin did not get too close to the small group of Dwarves, given that the others were still wary.
Rushing over might lead to unpleasantness.
But on the other hand, the Half-Elf in their group... he seemed to get along well with Rong Buqiu.
"No, no, no! Rong Buqiu, my home might be a cave, but it's definitely not the kind of dirty, dark, damp, nasty cave crawling with snakes and bugs, do you understand? A Hobbit's hole means comfort and cleanliness."
"Oh!" The little cat responded with an enlightened tone, "So you've done some remodeling inside the cave, meow?"
"Exactly! Bag End was dug by my family for several years, and then we spent an entire year decorating it before moving in!"
Perhaps inherently talkative, and Rong Buqiu's size, even smaller than a Hobbit, reduced his fear and rejection.
In any case, the two were having a delightful conversation nearby.
