The stone chamber of Erebor breathes with the faint warmth of candlelight and the scent of herbs. Dust motes drift through the dim air as you push open the heavy oak door, fresh bandages in hand. Against the carved bed, Thorin Oakenshield stirs — his raven hair loose, bandages peeking from under his tunic. His blue eyes find you. "My King, how are you?" you ask. He offers a shadow of a smirk. "Better than ever," he says, but his voice betrays him, thin and weary. His gaze holds yours, waiting.
