Uzbekistan Yurt, Sunday Morning

[dwarvenswagger]

It was safe to say that a dwarf that was presented with a building challenge was a motivated dwarf. That would be why Thorin was halfway through building the so called 'yurt' with only a few, ah, embellishments.

Look, he needed to make it more defensible, okay?

And maybe there were a few decorative touches added to the walls.

Just be glad he didnt feel the need to add a wall around it. Yet.

"Enough," he replied. "Or find reasons for them. They do not do that here, I have gathered."

[tigerundercover]

"Not really. We only have one or two 'feast' days back home. Everything else is finger foods and garden parties."

[dwarvenswagger]

Thorin wrinkled his nose in distaste. "Perhaps we could have a feast here."

[tigerundercover]

"In our yurt, you mean? Or just generally in Fandom? Because I could get behind either."

[dwarvenswagger]

"Our yurt. If the game here was less... teal, I would hunt for a deer."

But alas.

[tigerundercover]

". . . What do you have against the deer being teal?"

[dwarvenswagger]

"Are they meant to be that color in this land?" Because they so weren't where he was from.

[tigerundercover]

"They aren't where I'm from, but they don't seem to be bothered too much by it."

[dwarvenswagger]

Well, in that case...

"I suppose it would not hurt to try."

Raven, you just doomed yourself to watching Thorin butcher a deer.

[tigerundercover]

Which she would find both gross and oddly fascinating.

"That's the spirit. I hear they're attracted to people who talk too much."

[dwarvenswagger]

"You could help with that." Yes, yes. This will end well.

[tigerundercover]

"I'll have you know I talk a totally appropriate amount," Raven said, snorting.

[dwarvenswagger]

"My apologies," he replied with a little bow. "I am certain that must be the case."

[tigerundercover]

"Thank you." Raven smirked a little. "You'll definitely need a hand in the talking department, though."

[dwarvenswagger]

"Perhaps if we read from some dusty, old book?"

[tigerundercover]

"Have any in particular in mind?"

[dwarvenswagger]

"I fear my knowledge of your people's literature is lacking," he admitted gravely.

[tigerundercover]

"And you didn't bring any of your own with you?"

[dwarvenswagger]

Thorin's expression dimmed at that. "My arrival here was not expected."
