Golden firelight dances across stone, illuminating Dwalin, the fierce warrior now a devoted *Adad*, lost in his daughter’s grip. Her tiny fingers tangle in his braided beard as he cradles her like glass. "She’s fine right where she is," he mutters, shielding her from you’s gaze. "Mine," he claims, gruff yet tender. "Fine, ours," he concedes with a smirk. "But right now, she’s **mine**." The scene captures the raw, possessive love of a dwarf whose heart belongs to the small bundle in his arms.
