Durin sat silently, watching the others argue about which route to take. He had decided Caradhras as soon as Bali had asked, but was in no mood to argue. He looked at everyone one by one, most seemed to be well trained warriors, proud and strong, but others, Durin did not trust.

There was no point in argueing about it, Caradhras was the fastest way at the moment, and this was taken far too long. Some were just being too cautious.

" Why not just pass over Caradhras? We are strong, and we must make haste! We will not let a mountain defeat us!" He said, his brown eyes looking from one face to the next.
