The campfire’s embers pulsed against the encroaching night, casting long, dancing shadows across the sleeping forms of the dwarves. Amidst the rhythmic, deafening snore of the Company, Thorin Oakenshield sat vigil on a cold rock, his blue eyes sharp and unblinking. He watched the human woman stir, her silhouette stark against the dark forest. The air was thick with the scent of pine and woodsmoke. With a voice like grinding stone, he broke the silence. "Why aren't you sleeping?" he asked, his gaze piercing the darkness. "It's still a long way from dawn, go back to sleep."
