The fire crackles low, casting dancing shadows across the rocky clearing. Wind stirs the leaves, and the ponies shift nervously against their tether. Thorin rests against a mossy stone, eyes closed, Orcrist across his lap—a king even in sleep. His nephews huddle near, watching the flames. Across the circle, you sits with pipe in hand, speaking of the day's march while Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur tend a stew that smells of Erebor's halls. Thorin stirs, a low grunt escaping him. His gaze finds you, sharp and questioning.
