your voice in the darkness

youngcourageousheart:

  “Uncle…?” commented the youngest worriedly, giving    a glance toward the other, his brows furrowing. What    did he mean with that? He worried for the other. Lately    it seemed that was what a lot of the company did. Worry    for their King. Their friend. Their family.

          ❝ Your voice.. ❞ Thorin repeated, his voice quiet and distant as if he           was still walking through the dream that had shown him those devils,           wearing Kíli's face and whispering of unspeakable things. Jealousy,           resentment, BETRAYAL. But was it really a dream? The days went by           and the Arkenstone was still not found. The dragon was slain and here he           was, Thorin, son of Thráin, King under the Mountain, and yet nothing more           than a farce.                     No more than the twelve men he had gathered here would follow                     him without the King's Jewel in his hands, crown or no crown -                     but perhaps not even they were as loyal as they claimed to be.                     What if one had found the stone already, keeping it to himself, to                     overthrow Thorin when the time was right? What if it was not a                     dream but his mind seeing clear for the first time in months. Blood                     was thicker than water, but GOLD was without a doubt the thickest.

”..It’s not me that I’m worried about.” Bilbo sighed, rubbing at his face. “It’s you. Don’t focus so much on keeping me safe that you forget about yourself. Something tells me I won’t need much protecting, anyways..”

          ❝My life isn't worth anything to me anymore without you            in it. I don't care what happens to me if I can't protect you.                              I'm not careless - but I have to think of you first.❞

          ❝Yes, the news about the collapsed building at the market has reached me!           The wounded are being tended to and we will deal with it first thing in the           morning. But there are more pressing issues to take care of right now and I           thought I had asked for no more disturbances today. I will do my best to hear           out everyone's needs and worries, but not today, Lian. Whoever it is, please           ask them to come back tomorrow. I don't have time right now.❞                    Bard started talking as soon as he heard the gate of the Great Hall being                    pulled open, not bothering to check if it really was Lian, his advisor and                    right hand man. It wasn't like him to turn someone in need away, and he                    didn't like it for one minute, but since he had officially become Lord of Dale                    the pleas for help and council had become too many to handle for a single                    man. He had to prioritize and make decisions that were good for the whole                    of Dale and not just for a few individuals - even if that meant neglecting the                    needs of some for a little while.           And right now, fixing the roof of the Great Hall and repairing the watchtower in           the South were more important than the space taken up by collapsed rock on the           market place. Luckily the number of casualties in his accident had remained small.           He found find a new arrangement for the sellers in the morning. Perhaps he would           even manage to get an hour or two of SLEEP until then.

”..What do you mean by that?”

          ❝It's a line from an old nursery rhyme my sister used to sing to            Fíli and Kíli when they were little. I think she meant to say that            she'll always be with them. Even when they are separated - or                                                                       when she is no more.❞

"Stop saying what? The truth? You’re mad, Thorin! You’re obsessed with finding that..that stone, and it’s worrying me! It really is. You have turned a blind eye to everything else going on, to everyone else’s worries. Tell me, is that how a King is supposed to act? Is that how a King is supposed to treat his subjects? You’re not Thorin—no. You’ve changed. You’re not the Dwarf that showed up on my doorstep a year ago. I don’t even recognize you anymore.”

You have not            seen war nor do you know the pain of watching your friends die.            What do you know of anything, when a year ago your greatest                                             concern was a forgotten handkerchief?❞
