Something tells me that you haven't thought this through. Now, I'm no stranger to that - you've seen my brother. Yet I can't help but think that the dust and the cobwebs bode ill for my future with you.

Nice username ;) Love the stealth knives.

[sonof_thrain]

Fili.

How fare you?

Thank you! I wish I could say I came up with it on my own.

[walkingarsenal]

Thorin.

[Just going to draw himself up a little straighter in his uncle's presence.]

About the same as anyone who turns to this place, I'd wager. I would much rather go on with our quest.

Re: It's still an awesome name :D

[sonof_thrain]

Of course. Do not let your scribe let you hand idle as you are a warrior of Durin. [He grumbled.]

Scribes.

I trust you have been using your skills to good use even though your scribe seeks to let you sit in this place? Wherever this place is.

[walkingarsenal]

[He bows his head slightly in a nod at Thorin's first remark.] Never. Luckily my scribe seems eager enough to let me put my weapons to use.

[sonof_thrain]

They do? Well, that bodes well indeed. At least they have thought to allow you to use your weapons, Fili. [He put a strong arm around his shoulder.]

It is any dwarf's right to battle.

[walkingarsenal]

[He smiles, a sense of pride stirring.]

We'll be ready. For whatever comes.

[Thorin's apparent disdain for these scribes did give Fili pause, the question crossing his mind whether his uncle was somehow being confined by his scribe. But that notion seems not only disrespectful, but impossible to imagine.]

[sonof_thrain]

Aye. We will not be stopped by either man or beast. Nothing can get in the way of our right, Fili. Our right which is to take back Erebor!

[He felt pride build in that stout heart of his.]

[hugeparasites]

Hey!

[He takes offense to that, brother]

I think before I act! Sometimes. Och, except for those few times I didn't.

[walkingarsenal]

"Few"?

Then you've undoubtedly kept well out of trouble.

[hugeparasites]

[No. Trouble follows the both of them undoubtedly wherever they go]

It's only been a handful of times! Don't stretch the truth, brother.

[And every time their ass land in the line of fire, they've managed to dig each other out]

[walkingarsenal]

Careful, Kili, before you protest too much.

[He might be teasing his brother, but he does genuinely hope that the world of muns and plots out there is treating Kili well.]

[hugeparasites]

I protest enough for the both of us then.

[Somewhat. For now his mum remains unsure where to send him]

You forget all the times you led me into trouble!

[walkingarsenal]

Name them, and if your list is longer than mine, you've done a good bit of growing up.

[breakofday]

[Defensive!uncle is defensive.] What is it?

[walkingarsenal]

Thorin?

[He feels a tad embarrassed and guilty for making things sound slightly more dramatic than they perhaps needed to, even in jest.]

It's nothing. I only meant the likelihood of spending my days idly sitting around.

[breakofday]

[Oh. Good. Thorin relaxes somewhat.]

No heir of mine will be spending his days idly.

[walkingarsenal]

[A nod of agreement.]

No. With luck, my scribe will take your words to heart, and you know that I will.

[breakofday]

You and your scribe may take some comfort in knowing there is no shame in joining one of these...death traps I hear others speak of. I am what they call...homeless --[He makes a face. It's not a word he likes.] -- and yet I am kept busy enough.

[walkingarsenal]

[Just feeling some admiration for the way that Thorin is taking this latest predicament in stride over here.]

You'll give me your blessing to encourage it?

[morethanstubble]

What's that suppose to mean?!

[walkingarsenal]

[Fili gives Kili an amused look for the expression on his face.]

Which part?

[morethanstubble]

"You've seen your brother?"

Are you calling me strange?

[walkingarsenal]

Why would I do that, brother?

[morethanstubble]

Oh. Well no.

Good.

Is your writer sending you through spiders then?

[walkingarsenal]

[A laugh.]

I hear we already have that to look forward to. It's worse than that. Imagine being confined to one room with close to nothing to do - and there is no way to leave it.
