His armor was gone and he seemed to be dressed in a linen shift, soft and pale.
Mmmh, half undressed Thorin will never get old. Yum. With clean hair open around his face... *stares dreamily *
“Dís,” he croaked, and leaped from the bed
I know you had a very hard time giving each character their „screentime“ and it was not possible to get as much interaction of each possible combination without sacrificing the flow of the story, but this really really makes me long for more Thorin Dís interaction – it really does.
“So we are dead,”
Oh poor Thorin.
And you are to stop talking of ‘sin’ in this ridiculous way, this self-flagellation does not suit you.”
THANK YOU GANDALF. Maybe he'll finally listen to YOU.
“It is a relief to see you have your priorities in the right order after all,” he said.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
he wore around his neck the beech-nut Wandlimb had given him
PERFECT. A fitting replacement and probably a useful coping strategy, so he can fiddle with something.
“Hobbits clearly have much stronger constitutions than you dwarves after all,” he said with a merry smile, and came to take Thorin’s hands in his. Then the smile wavered slightly, and he touched his lips to Thorin’s hands. “Or I suppose it could be that you sheltered my body with your own, at the end.”
Oh you are making me cry! You know I love your Bilbo but Thorin is MY PRECIOUS. Forever.
and as we did it seemed to me that I could hear music--”
Oh, oh,oh! *bounces * Finally a part fo the Silmarillion I have read and always adored! Wow. What a thought. Surrounded by darkness studded with stars and then the music... Beautiful.
They were dressed all in dark blue velvet and brocade, and there was a peace about them that Thorin had never seen before.
Oh happy endings all around! And what a fecthing picture they make – both with their dark hair and dark blue, lovely lovely. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART. [I have some time still until school starts and I hope to realize at least one or two of the sketches I did while reading this series. There are many...]
I found my robes had turned white, as if the gray had been washed away by their touch.”
Oh a beautiful and poetic explanation!
but Thorin was more concerned about the fact that Balin had been besieging Orthanc with the elves of Lothlorien the last he had heard.
So long ago... I really need to reread the series without these great interruptions – so events are more present in my mind...
this Queevy place
Oh Bilbo. *wipes tear * Thorin probably smiled in sekrit when he heard that. Mmmh Thorin understanding and speaking Elvish. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH HERE. just in case that jasn't come across *g*
“You should try it sometime.”
NICE.
“Aragorn Elessar? Who is this person and why does he think he can just show up after all the fighting is done and take over? That takes a lot of nerve, I have to say.”
BLESS. Oh Bilbo! *tears of mirth *
“Thorin, I leave this to you,” and exited the tent hastily
LOL!
promised to tell him if he was traveling with royalty in the future
That never gets old. And it's such a nice tie-in to the start of the story.
Two hours later Bilbo had his feet propped up on a cushion in the royal tent and was blowing smoke rings and playing riddle games with Aragorn,and much to the delight of Aragorn
YAY! He deserves some lightness and fun that comes from knowing a hobbit. Everyone in Middle Earth should have one, actually. I DECREE IT SO!
"Theoden is busy examining our horses,"
*snort * Typical. Yes, and probably making his own personal horse army by charming the hell out of all the horses, telling them how beautiful they are... or brushing them and muttering about neglectful stablelads... and I can just imagine Denethor standing leaning on a tree or whatnot and finding some peace by listening to the ever more ridiculous speeches of praise or ranting from his friend. (Of course Théoden exaggerates on purpose to distract Denethor from his father's death. He still remembers Denethor's eyes when he asked for the spear – that look of wild desperation and determination, the blood on his face, the white lines where the tears had cut a path through the bright red. Denethor in turn of course knows what his brother is doing(and how much am I squeeing inside that I can write *brother*?) but finds that it works on him and so says nothing.)
As for Denethor... he is off on an urgent mission to Dol Amroth, to see his Finduilas. He seems to believe that now that he is no longer lord of Minas Tirith, their engagement will be annulled."
Oops. I had not foreseen that complication. Poor Denethor. Such stress after a battle and loss.
"You know, I would have understood so much more of what was going on if you had just kept me informed!"
Never keep important gossip, *ahem*, information from a hobbit!
again--"He grows crabby if I leave him alone for long,"
You are fooling noone, dear Bilbo.
He was dressed in robes of dark midnight-blue trimmed with silver, but Bilbo noticed he was not wearing any mark of his kingly status.
Oooh, all prettied up for me! Erm. Not for me, but I appreciate them all the same.
"Dori is your brother, is he not? Does he still use too much pepper in his stews?"
*laughs * Only Bilbo!
I rejoice to find you were and well,"
[beta mode] Should that be „here“ and well?[beta mode off]
You know, I'd love to read about that long journey. Ori and Haldir – an interesting pair! Hadir would probably find Ori utterly charming in his enthusiasm about history.
he fell that day, pierced by a dwarvish arrow meant for an elf and an elvish arrow meant for a dwarf.”
Oh wow. *blinks * That was a close call.
“Though some of us have become friends indeed, I like to think,” Ori observed, and Haldir smiled down at him.
Ha!
“I brought enough for three!” Bilbo said triumphantly.
Food and company™ - patented Hobbit care. Feel it and believe it.
Thorin was drifting asleep once more when he felt small hands running through his hair, still unbraided after being washed by the healers. He sighed sleepily and heard Bilbo chuckle nearby.
This cannot get better and then you do THAT. NYARGH. HAIR BRAIDING COMMENCE!
