27 - Dori (05)

"Who says that elves are such an unpleasant species?", asked Dori to Bombur trying to make him more reasonable - you never knew what would have happened during their venture and it was important to be focused on the treasure more than on ancient prejudices. "You barely put your nose outside your door and you presume you know everything about the world! Don't be a fool and go back to your ale and meal". Bombur looked surprised and his reaction was understandable: as said previously, Dori used to be the kind one. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be such a bigot. I'm just keeping to what I've heard about them", he said to Dori. Dori took a sip of his beer feeling guilty for having been so bitter, but he still was convinced that it wasn't so important to worry about elves. Beer was definitely the only thing that was able to awake the real dwarf in him. "I wonder where Gandalf and the burglar are", he then added.
