"Watch out!" shouted Ori as he saw a large structure in their path, and all the dwarves ducked out of the way and yelled in panic.

"If I wanted to drown you, I would not do it here."

"You will answer this one!" snapped Mel from where she stood close to Tauriel. "One dead dwarf is no concern to me." Thranduil waved a hand dismissively as he paced in a circle around the Orc. "Who sent you to track them, and why?"
