Imagine Thorin learning that you know more about the circumstances of the quest than he does
Thorin: *to you* so do you have a name?
You: yes
Thorin: *waits a minute* and your name would be what exactly?
You: oh sorry, I'm (y/n)
Thorin: and what do you do for a living?
You: oh uh there's no official title, but I do various things with magic
Gandalf: *snorts* really, getting shy about your profession now?
You: it's called being humble Gandalf, and since you're in such a sharing mood there, why don't tell the class how long you had the key and map.
Gandalf: *mumbles incoherently and intently smokes his pipe*
You: that's exactly what I thought
Thorin: are neither of you going to tell me anything?
You: in due time, you've received enough information today, we'll slowly ease you into this, if that's alright with you.
Thorin: I'd like it now please!
You: that's fair I suppose.
