Thorin leaned back in the chair, resting his leather boots on the fender.

The fire crackled in the hearth and for the first time in longer than he cared to remember, he had a full stomach. A very full stomach. It felt good, reminding him of happier days.

He drew out his tobacco pouch and lit the old wooden pipe he’d whittled as a boy many long years ago.

While his company played the fool in their host’s kitchen, Thorin enjoyed a rare moment of peace and contentment.

He drew in a slow breath and blew his first smoke ring.
