@Ash_Crow @pizzaroquette hmmm I was thinking in terms of hours, and I feel you’re thinking in terms of transportation. Carriages, nobility, elves. Wheelbarrows, gardening, hobbits. Humans, quite fragile, ambulances. Etc.
I was thinking that hobbits love their comforts: midnight is the limit, sleep is important. Humans, well, are humans, therefore fragile ; 2. Elves would party on for some time before going to bed (to bed, not to sleep, as they are elves and pure and don’t need sleep of course (they actually do but pretend they don’t)).
Dwarves? Well, we agree on that one too. They’d only leave at daybreak because, being used to the darkness of Moria they’d want to avoid the sun. But the party would go on for a few more days.
(And would only stop after a few of them reach a state where they need what passes for hearses in their underground domains)
