[Kili and his brother are very much dwarves in the most base sense, but they are also of a new generation. One that has done more than just grow inside the mountain, they have lived and trained in the wilds as well, though they have seen little besides the woods outside their home. Still, he's pleased that Kili is happy, for that is all he's wanted for his nephews.
To give them a place to grow and live and be happy, even if Thorin himself can only think of Erebor. He'll hum, acknowledging Kili's words. Frerin had been much the same, he was adventurous, but very loyal to his family. More than once he'd gone out with sword and bow to the forests around Erebor and Dale, he loved hunting, loved exploring. He also had a strange affinity for climbing trees... strange dwarf his brother had been.]
You and that bow.
[He gives a tired huff, but isn't mad, amused more than anything. Kili had wanted to learn because he'd seen Frerin's bow that Thorin had kept, and the curious little dwarf of course wanted to know what it was. Wanted to see it and use it and well... now here they were and Kili was very proficient with a bow. Better than even Frerin had been.]
I am happy with both of you and your mother... you all make me proud.
