I wil never live this down. He thought, grateful that his surrounding comrades could not hear his thoughts. But it doesn't matter if thay can or not. They all saw the jewel-setter save my life. I'm just glad my brother isn't here. He'd never let me forget it. Not that I will anyway.
With effort, he pulled himself out of his shame. Balin was saying something about Floi, and Narin thought it would be best to listen.
