"I know what you mean, Balin",
said Dori while they were walking toward the first stop-over of their venture,
"I remember that once when I was younger...", he added with genuine
enthusiasm, but as soon as he began his tale, he noticed that all the dwarves
were smiling sarcastically under their moustache and beards.
It was not the
first time that Dori entertained them with long, detailed tales about his youth,
and he immediately fell silent. He was wise and strong, but also quite touchy.
He then preferred to continue walking and enjoy the beautiful landscape around
them. It would have been stupid to start the day having words with them. In
addition, the other dwarves didn't ask him to continue with his story, which
made him even more irritated.
"Better I don't speak now" he said with
feeble voice to himself.
Then, they all continued walking in silence.
