Thorin is displeased with his placement into dragonhaven. No one is surprised.

So be it then. Dragons.

I dare not say twas the better option, but to be wed to some elf like prince could have been worse in many ways. Ways I dare not think of nor discuss.

[He's not going to even get into the whole starting him out in some city full of elves. Also thank you for taking him from the end of the movie so he's hurt. Best mundane ever.]

There is some comfort in having my kin here, though it would be better if we were still with the rest of the company. There is no time to chase dragons about in this place, Erebor waits and Durin's day grows closer still. Though you care little for our troubles don't you?

And what do you have to be sorry for?

[coveredinrust]

You've got some hard times ahead of you.

[something almost approaching a mirthless smirk touches the edge of her pale lips.]

[kinginexile]

You speak as if I have not endured such times before. I will endure them, they shall pass.

[By Aulë, he hopes so!]

[coveredinrust]

It's difficult to tell, in this place. I've given up on assuming anything about anyone here. Not that I ever really cared in the first place.

[kinginexile]

It is easier to not care, yet what reward to life is there without caring for someone beyond yourself?

[coveredinrust]

Somehow, I'm not really worried about my life's "reward." I don't have much life left now, anyway.
