Conflict Resolution

[breakofday]

I do not understand how you can forgive so readily. If anyone were to deny me a chance to speak, I would have their hands as paperweights, at the very least.

There's hardly any use in cutting off hands over petty matters, and it definitely is pointless to hold grudges over them.

[breakofday]

I am forced to forgive for her sake and for yours, though I am not happy with it. [See how he's sulking?]

[veiled_hero]

You still have a thing or two to learn about forgiveness, Thorin. Where would we be now if you still begrudged me over the Arkenstone incident, hmm?

[breakofday]

[He may be giving Bilbo a look that says he hasn't quite gotten over that.]

...That is different.

[unexpected_adventures]

I can well believe that, Thorin. Isn't it going a little far though?

[breakofday]

I do not tolerate insults to myself or my scribe.

[unexpected_adventures]

Of course. I know a man of your stature would never take anything bad dished out to you.

Likewise for myself.

[sonof_thrain]

Aye. Paper weights sound about right.

I would not let any scribe dictate anything to me.

[breakofday]

I have grown to tolerate my scribe, though her actions befuddle me.

[sonof_thrain]

So have I. Trust is something to be earned though, not easily taken. We have our differences still though.

You have a woman scribe? Nay, mine be male but he can throw me off at times.

[notonbaldmountain]

Only old monsters and devils are unable to forgive. People can be petty or kind as they like.

[breakofday]

I do not think myself a monster or a devil.

[notonbaldmountain]

Then practice good side along with bad. You are not bound by either.

[favours_thebow]

Come now, uncle. Isn't that a bit harsh for the person involved? Or, have they offended you? If so, paper weights sound a good option.

[breakofday]

They have insulted my scribe. She has forgiven the offense, but I do not agree with such an action. [Thorin might - might - be sulking.]

[favours_thebow]

They? Who are they, uncle? [He was keen to know as he wanted to get back at those who offended his uncle.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

These scribes are not so hard-headed as dwarfs are wont to be.

[breakofday]

This coming from an elf. [The dislike is pretty much radiating off him.]

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

I say so fondly, of course. As my closest friend happens to be a dwarf.

[elvenking]

I believed it was speaking in the first place that was your trouble, Thorin Oakenshield.

[Like when he asked you what you were doing in his forest.]

[breakofday]

[Gross, where did you come from? If Thorin weren't king, he'd be making faces and Thranduil from behind his back.]

You have no business here, elf.

[elvenking]

Am I trespassing, Master Dwarf?

[Nudge nudge. Listen to that innocent tone.]

I'm not sorry

[swaggerelf]

Such wisdom from a dwarf.

bitch gtfo (i love you)

[breakofday]

As you are the one to most often do the crossing yourself, I do not suppose you would even know what to do if someone crossed you.

[swaggerelf]

[He's only going to dignify you with a slight arch of his well trimmed brow]

I recall no such 'crossing'.

[Are you still holding a grudge over that day?]
