“ You’re descended of Moria aren’t you?
I just wondered if you’ve ever been there.
I’ve heard it to be larger even than Erebor. “
Fili had only ever really known the Blue Mountains
& now reveled in being able to explore many more
places, perhaps one day he could even visit those
vast mines.
“ Ma used to tell us that ancient creatures
lurked in it’s depths too. Is that true?
Would I have to fight one if I ever visited? “
❝haven’t been there m'self, t'was
abandoned - y'know, balrog an’ all.❞
Bofur hums softly to himself, shoulders
rising and falling in a very brief shrug as
the pipe sits between his lips, and he inhales.
Smoke tendrils slither from his mouth as
he begins to speak once again.
❝if ya weren’t quiet, aye. like i said, balrog.
nasty, devilish things those. pro'lly a lot o’
others too. i’d ask Balin, Oin or Ori if ya
wanna know anymore, though.
but for the record?❞
He leans a little closer, gaze shifting to the
side before his voice lowers to a whisper.
❝i’d ask Balin. don’ go mentionin’ that place
t’ Thorin.❞
