Son of Thráin

My dear Sam. You cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be and to do. Your part in the story will go on.

behold the noble line of durin .. . such fine royalty … outstanding leaders .. .. . skilled warriors …

Who is this person you’ve pledged yourself to? Thorin Oakenshield?

        He ponders this, turning inward as he begins to idly kick a stone.  From what he’s heard of Thorin, it seems unlikely that he’ll really understand the sentiments he carries for his father.  It’s a difficult, difficult thing ( at least to him, it is ), but the king did ask, so he plows on.  ❛ You might say yes, and you might say no.  It really depends on your perspective.  But it’s true that I did admire my father for a while.  I stopped, though.  I had to. ❜

       “ Why did you stop? ”  he asked simply.  He recognised that his attentiveness may seem odd compared to his previously dismissive attitude, but he was genuinely curious about Bilbo after developing a new-found respect for him.

Listen to this, whenever you’re sad or mad, down or unhappy, and tell me it doesn’t put a smile on your face.

Richard Armitage: He knows how dangerous the journey is going to be. So it’s very difficult for him to kick back and have a laugh, but we did try to make him smile occasionally.

        ❛ Hmm, well.  I very much doubt that, now.  There’ll hardly be a soul in the Shire that would listen to me, with the ruckus I’ve caused. ❜

       “ Simple-living, ”  he repeated, more to himself than anything.  He shook his head a little, and looked like he may smile again.  “ Hobbits are curious folk.  As an individual, though, is there no one in your life that you admire?  That you look up to? ”

Ah, see it says over twenty types of dwarves. As well as gnomes and elves and other hidden people. We don’t consider them to live in quite the same world as ours, but they overlap, so sometimes they can be sensed and we quite definitely influence each other’s lives.

       “ This is very interesting, ” he murmured.  “ These dwarfs-- are they much like me? ”  A relevant question, he thought, considering this was a completely different world to his own.  He was still in awe of it.  No doubt the dwarfs would be different, too.
