[ This lady's looking a little different, for anyone that's spoken with her before. Not any older, but there's a sort of crooked quality to her nose, like it'd been broken and healed some time ago. She's lounging in the Initiative apartments, looking like she's recently made friends with a superiority complex. ]

I want to speak to those of you who have seen a war before. Not the skirmishes that the Initiative sends us on here, but actual war.

And failing that, I'll take anyone that knows magic — and can teach it. That part is important. Don't waste my time if all you can do is cast it.

I want to know what you mean to gain in satisfying your curiosity. If you make light of this war.

[Not being the most trusting folk.]

[He gives her a long, dissecting look.]

Then you have been here before.

[Thorin pauses again, tilting back from the screen and seems to lose interest in it entirely for a few seconds while he scrubs his beard with his hand and stares at something in the far right corner.]

...I would make a trade with you, for my questions answered.
heirwithouthope: (Dramatic whisper | Tension building)

It would disgrace me to offer anything less.

There is but one term to this agreement.

If my tales are to be yours, they will only be yours. I will not say a word to this contrivance where others may hear.

Somewhere where we can have privacy of conversation.

[He was trying to think of a place that would make that possible without giving him a migraine. There was a pub he found that he was quite fond of (decent food and surprisingly decent ale), but it wouldn't suit him to bring a woman there.]

Are you familiar with the courtyard?

[People might think you're a wench, though. There is a slight lift of Thorin's eyebrows. A smaller, less obvious sense of detached amusement at her complaint.]

I find it to be more welcoming than my own dwelling, at this time.
heirwithouthope: (All the fault of pride)

[personal profile] heirwithouthope 2013-02-21 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[He opens his mouth and then closes it again. There might've been more of a fight about being usurped and then ordered around, but having his questions answered was far more important than his pride.]

As you wish. You will see me no later than that.
heirwithouthope: (We rode the rivers of the eastern trail)

Sounds like a plan o/

[And it really doesn't take Thorin long at all to reach her door, considering the fact that she was just one floor apart from him (it's a small world, after all).

So after about twenty minutes or so (he wasn't going to rush there), he raps his knuckles loudly on the door and takes a step back. He doesn't have his fur or his armor on, but he does hang onto Orcrist, which his hand rests by out of habit more than intent to use it.]

[He was more than accustomed to looking up when he has to address someone that isn't a dwarf or a hobbit. All the same, dwarves never considered themselves short, or at a disadvantage due to their height. Everyone else was unnecessarily tall, if anything.

So he doesn't wither like a self-conscious violet under her gaze. He stares back and nods once, in confirmation to her question.]
I go by Thorin Oakenshield.
heirwithouthope: (A long long way from home)

[He starts to make his way by her into the apartment, stopping and looking back at her in interest when she introduces herself. The mineral onyx was valued for its stripes and carving ability: the dwarves used it for beads, jewelry, and building material. It's a decent name, he supposes, if a person wants to be named after a stone.]

We are well met, my lady.

[In the living room, he will remove his sword from his belt and set it to the side before helping himself to a seat in one of the chairs.] How would you have us go about this?
heirwithouthope: (Thorin hears a Who)

[personal profile] heirwithouthope 2013-02-22 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[If he were one of the other dwarves in his company, he would've been in the kitchen, and he would've been pillaging every crevice food could be stored inside with or without an offer. At least Thorin had some manners, even if he lacked charm.]

How did you find your way out of this place?
