Lîs/ Lîn

Several pairs of eyes followed the approach of a grizzled old dwarf. He leaned over the seated and snoring Lîn and growled, "You'll get a crick in your neck, Lîn-Laddie, and rue it in the morning."

"Ugh..." was followed by a cough and a low growl. Lîn rubbed his neck and stretched. The grizzled old dwarf rolled up his cloak, and dropped it on the ground. Those watching were amused to see Lîn roll sideways and put his head on the old fellow's cloak. With a satisfied sigh, the old fellow sat down. "Ive been sent to bring you your breakfast, Lîn-Laddie. Balin and his troops will not be leaving without ye, I'll see to that."

Lîn smiled, and began to snore. Balin exchanged a wink with the grizzled old dwarf, who nodded back curtly, and scowled at the others til they looked politely away. They had all said their share of farewells, and family bonds were family bonds. If the old fellow wanted to watch over his son during their last night as a family, that was his business.
