"It doesn't matter, since these lands are crawling with Orcs, their numbers are growing and we are on foot", Maleficent stated from her position next to Kili. "We will be facing enough danger at this rate" "You will never reach the forest alive", Beorn growled before standing up at full height. "I don’t like dwarves, they’re greedy and blind, blind to the lives of those they deem lesser than their own", he notices a mouse on the table and picks him up. "But Orcs I hate more", he growled in anger to himself. "What do you need?", he asked the dwarven Prince. 

Later, the beast was kind enough to let the group borrow his horses from the barn on their way to the forest. The fae helped Kili upon his horse by lifting him. "Go now, while you have the light. Your hunters are not far behind", Beorn warned them before they left, with Maleficent, sitting behind the youngest upon his horse for the first time.
