08 - Balin (01)



Gandalf had proved to be as stubborn as a dwarf, but Balin was still not convinced. Why bring a burglar that didn’t even want to go himself? An unwilling burglar would be nothing but dead weight and a tasty snack for Smaug, if they even got that far. Gandalf was indeed older and wiser then Balin, alas, Balin had heard stories and even witnessed wise seers that eventually became delusional with age, or perhaps Balin himself was the victim of such afflictions. It just didn’t make any sense and Balin could feel the headache that he woke up with earlier creeping back. Thankfully though, Dori woke him up from his spiraling thoughts with his many questions and concerned expression. Balin sighed from mental exhaustion. It didn’t sit well with him to anger a wizard. “Should we stir our host and ask him one last time if he wants to come with us on an adventure?”, Balin asked still looking at the note Gandalf left.

You want to look at the sentence that starts with "Gandalf was indeed". Than instead of then, and the construction in the following phrase is weird with the "of wise seers".
