23 - Balin (04)

Balin catched up with the group when they were walking in a single file towards the tavern. “You weren’t with us?” Gloin asked perplexed. “While you were bickering about prizes for ponies, like old women, I took it upon myself to get us some lifesaving supplies” Balin answered and continued “Did you lads forget that the luggage ponies need some luggage carry?”. Ori scratched the back of his head, “Oh my, we all wanted a beer so badly that we forgot all about that! If we didn’t have the wise Balin with us then how would Gloin and I be able to start the campfires?” and threw his hands up in the air. “How did you pay for it?” Thorin asked raising his eyebrows in question. “Well a wise old man has his savings” Balin answered with a satisfied smile.
