Lobelia made a stern face and imitated the ranger's voice: "Give me good reasons to vote for Uglúk so that I don't have to vote any of my fellows!" She swiped at Halbarad's direction with her umbrella.

"Dáin, you were not one to believe in me. Why should I think even now that you have changed your mind? Maybe you find yourself a better Bearer, maybe you would rather get rid of me and gain the Ring to yourself... Yet it is not me whom you are helping but the whole of Middle-earth, so you don't need to threaten me. I suppose I will manage well enough even without a dwarf to help me!

Tom and Gildor, voting for an unhelpful today may be alright, but there are so few of us that we cannot afford to do that until every more or less unhelpful person is dead or sent away."

edit: xed with Théodred and Gandalf

Dáin gave a deep sigh. "Your fate is tied to the fate of others mistress Lobelia," Dáin said in a deep soothing voice, "It is the will of the council that and I were picked for this mission, and our quarreling will not help matters at all."

"I will be alone now and think take into account what everyone has said; I'll be back and cast my vote later." And with that Dáin II. Ironfoot went to be alone and think on the decision that he would make.

EDIT: X'd with Gildor
