My purpose is the same as ever it was. Nothing has changed between us.

[Except it has, Thorin. It really has.]

Or do you question my integrity as well as my conviction?

Comments

[burgling]

I'm sorry, Thorin.

[holdsthekey]

Our enemies are too many in number already, Master Baggins. They oppose us at every turn. We cannot afford to begin stirring up doubt amongst ourselves as well. [Sometimes Thorin thinks that the whole of Middle Earth is against them, hindering them on every step of their journey.]

[favours_thebow]

Uncle? Who would dare question you?

[holdsthekey]

Everyone, or so it seems. [It's as though all of Middle Earth has rallied to oppose their quest.] That's why you must help me to prove them wrong, Kili. To cast doubt from their minds.

[favours_thebow]

Of course we will oppose them. What right have they got to say anything against our noble quest? I will help you, uncle, in anyway I can. So will Fili.

[ He knows the question isn't directed at him, but.

Yet, ]


I do not question.

Tell me what you need, here and now, and I can still give it. Your integrity holds more sure than the mountain itself.
