The dwarf was still shaking by the thought of the attackers. They had been so swift and so experienced. It was like they had done nothing else than carry weapons and train all their lives. Still, they had retreated. Dwalin wondered why, but didn't want to complain. He was lucky to be alive without too many wounds.

When he had met his first opponent, he had been struggling to keep his feet on the ground. Nevertheless, he had fallen with a crack, and found himself staring into the attacker’s eyes. They had been filled with hatred and disgust. Dwalin, who had been scared to death, thinking that his last minute had come, was surprised to see Nerin accidentally nudge Dwalin's attacker hard in the ribs. Being immensely relived, Dwalin had gotten to his feet and swiftly ended the attacker's life.

He chose to watch the conversation, as he had too much going on his mind. From the corner of his eye, he could see Hænir and Bali talking. It still annoyed him that the two of them were acting as if they were hiding something. Both of them were avoiding socializing with the others. Whether it was intentional or not, Dwalin did not know.

The Dwarf ate slowly. The meat from the warg was something of the most horrible thing he had ever tasted. But his hunger overcame it. Swallowing it, reluctantly, he went to sit next to Nerin. He hadn't yet thanked the dwarf for saving his life, even though it was by mere luck. Dwalin owed him something nevertheless. Trying not to make too many grimaces by the taste of the meat, he turned to face Nerin.

"What a fight, eh?" he said with another jerk. Nerin nodded. His black beard shimmered in the dim light from the fire. "I must thank you.." Dwalin started after a while. He watched Nerin's sparkling eyes, as if he was surprised. "I must thank you," he repeated before he continued:" You saved my life, you know... This company is very lucky to have you.." When finishing, he felt relived, but also satisfied. "If there's anything you need anytime, just come and ask. I will certainly repay your deed," Dwalin added hurriedly.

Nerin smiled humbly, looked seriously at Dwalin, before both of them broke into a laugh
