Thorin had been lost in his own thoughts, and getting rather quite annoyed that they were being kept for such a long time over something that was not really a concern of his or any of his companions-especially since they did not know how much time they would have before others would try to retake the mountain too. Though he was jerked out of his thoughts as Bane spoke directly to him, and looked up. "...Yes, I believe it is." he answered slowly. Elrond held his hand out curiously. "If you would allow me to look at it, I may be able to tell you more about it." the elf offered. Eyeing him distastefully for a few moments, Thorin finally handed the blade over and Elrond smiled knowingly, giving a slight nod. "Ah yes, this is Orcrist, the goblin bane. Forged in Gondolin, for the Goblin Wars of the First Age."
