Despite the fact that his leg protested the movement, Kili rose to throw a rock, but he had no choice but to drop it when Bard aimed an arrow at them. For the second time, he sunk down to sit, unsure what Bane could want with them.
Balin slowly approached the man, hands raised to show that he meant him no ill will. "Excuse me, but, uh, you’re from Laketown, if I’m not mistaken? That barge over there, it wouldn’t be available for hire, by any chance?”
The white haired dwarf nodded towards Bane's feet. “Those boots have seen better days. As has that coat. No doubt you have some hungry mouths to feed. How many bairns?”
Dwalin was fed up. This man had no business making threats to them. Didn't he realize he was outnumbered? “Oh, come on, enough with the niceties," he growled to Thorin, who had been watching Bane with a critical eye.
