[Still, Thorin had gotten some work in before the shoe had dropped. The humans had paid him for it as well, for they quite liked the dwarf and his work and felt poorly for having to turn him away this time.
Thorin will rest his chin atop Kili's head, sighing, arms lightly hugging the younger dwarf.]
Sometimes, but not always. Living as we do in the mountains we cannot afford to not make coin for things we need. [Most of their agriculture was traded from the outside, from human villages, much like in the time of Erebor and Dale. Hard to grow a lot of things inside a mountain after all. Of course there were other things, but coin and trade was a necessary evil, and good as well, for them.]
... let me get cleaned up, then we can have our midday meal.
[Thorin murmurs into Kili's hair, but he won't pull away until Kili is ready to relinquish his uncle. Honestly he's just tired of so many years of this and he's never really let his nephews see it if he could, but having Kili here right now is the best thing that could happen. He'd not realized just how much it helped to have someone else around when things got rough. At least it had been a long time since he'd allowed it.]
