Dwarves - Barzûn

Barzûn heard the sound of voices. He rose from where he was looking at the drawings done by the young Dwarf. Grumbling about the lack of respect that some Dwarves have these days, Barzûn marched over to what appeared to be a small group of Dwarves gathering around a wheelbarrow. They were looking at something within the wheelbarrow.

“What is the meaning of this?” Barzûn asked. “Get back to work!”

“You should see this, Sir,” a Dwarf said. Barzûn gave the Dwarf a confrontational stare. He sighed inwardly when he saw that the Dwarf was Therin. The little upstart…

“What do you suppose did this?” Therin looked at Barzûn, who scowled at the stones within the wheelbarrow.

“We do not have time for these games,” Barzûn said grouchily. “We have to get back to work. Now put those back where you found them and get some useful supplies.”

Therin began to object, but then seemed to think better of it. He dejectedly made his way back to where he found the stones and deposited them where they had originally been, all the while under the watchful eye of Barzûn. Barzûn waited a bit until he was sure that Therin was back to work before he made his way around to the other Dwarves. Having heard of Therin’s discovery and Barzûn’s negative reaction to the find, the Dwarves seemed even more somber than ever as they worked through the day.
