"What are all these Dwarves doing here?" Flói wondered as he looked around. "Are they all going with us? Why?"

He walked to the middle of the room, bumping the elbow of one old Dwarf. With a snork, he went on.

As Balin rose to speak, he uttered another snork, this one of contempt. But as he listened to the speech, visions arose from his heart: the majesty of Khazad-dûm restored, as a bulwark against Sauron's might. He will be part of history, all because Balin saw beyond his acerbic attitude and noticed the skill he had.

Or it seems to him. He never bothered to know that there some here more skilled in craft than he is.

Maybe I should treat him with respect. After all, he will bring us to treasures greater than any of us in this hall could fathom.

"It was once ours and once again we will make it a mighty kingdom of the Dwarves! We leave tomorrow at dawn!" Balin concluded his speech, and many a Dwarf cried Moria! Flói was elated. He will be part of history.
