Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Dunwen, I don't think that your post in its present form really fits. Perhaps if you started it off with something like: "As the others moved on, Sam was still thinking about Kuric's harsh words about his friend, and finally he broke into the flow of conversation..." Rather than Kuric's quote.

The other way that I could see this working is that maybe Sam corners Kuric later on, after the meeting is over. Something like "I heard what you said earlier, even if no one else did..." Maybe he was standing next to Kuric? That would also satisfy Morm's intention that Kuric muttered it.

It could be vocal, I have no problem with anybody overhearing it. The one problem I have with the post as it stands is that Kuric wouldn't really allow for a pause and allow Sam to begin speaking to Leonora. I obviously could write something that would make it fit nice and neat, if needed but Kuric's natural instinct would be to explode without thinking.

Actually, I really like your second idea, Firefoot. If it's okay with Mormegil, I can set up a future conversation with Kuric by changing my post to have Sam standing next to Kuric and overhearing his mutter. In a later post Sam could then have a word with him when everyone else is leaving.

I will PM the edited post to both of you.

Thanks!

Should I let Dunwen post before me, since his post would be before mine, the way I am writing it? But my post wont be progressing me beyond others, just catching up in Ash's point of view.

I say plow on ahead, Finduilas -- I think Dunwen has worked it out so that Sam and Kuric's interaction will come a little later, after the meeting is wrapped up in some way.

I've posted a response to Lommy and set up a chance for a later conversation between Sam & Kuric, so I think Findulas can go ahead.

So sorry. I had (amusingly) seen a picture of you on the picture thread earlier that day, but I guess I couldn't get it out of my head that you were a him.
