Racie.

Oh, don't "Racie" me! You started it! Why don't you tell them the truth? I didn't think so. No one loves me! NO ONE LOVES ME!
[walks a little closer to her; whispering; Mirana doesn't reply; turns away and walks up the stairs; sobbing and wailing]

Seizing the Opportunity to Reclaim Erebor
Thorin Oakenshield
If we have read these signs, do you not think others will have read them too? Rumors have begun to spread. The dragon Smaug has not been seen for 60 years...Eyes look east to the mountain assessing, wondering, weighing the risk...Perhaps the vast wealth of our people now lies unprotected. Do we sit back while others claim what is rightfully ours? Or do we seize this chance to take back Erebor?!
