[Fíli seldom uses the lockets to make announcements for all shardbearers to hear, still reluctant to rely on them without restraint, but there is something that needs mentioning even amidst the mounting tensions. He comes into view, beard closely cropped, and begins with a nod in greeting.]
Cothromach has housed us for some months, but my companions and I will be taking our leave of the city. Our lockets remain open to any who seek us -- that is, my brother Kíli, our cousin Gimli, and Mister Baggins.
[In the background, Kíli gestures wildly, making muffled sounds until his brother turns to look his way. Then his fingers move in a series of quick, precise motions, and Fíli faces the locket again with a small smile resting on his lips.]
Our cousin has friends and acquaintances all over, if we're not mistaken... Should you have a moment, Kíli and I would be grateful for any help in reminding Gimli that today happens to be his birthday.
[From Fili’s opposite side comes Bilbo’s voice, quietly surprised.] His birthday! My goodness that is a cause for celebration - a party may be too much, but I wonder if he would like a birthday cake?
-- And no Kili I do not need your help with the baking! Eru knows you’d only devour half the batter before I could even finish...

Surprise?]
What troubles you, Gimli?

[He has to go play fix-up, doesn't he?]
And was that really necessary?

No need to worry, cousin, consider it handled. As for your second question, surely you know the answer?
no subject
No, I will handle things with Lady Stark. Remind me again when your birthdays are?
no subject
Kíli's? [Because Fíli isn't opposed to surprising his brother with the help of his cousin, and Bilbo and his cake-baking skills, of course (especially when Gimli will see them live to celebrate their next birthdays, here).
He leans close to whisper the date of Kíli's birthday.]
no subject
It's been so long, he's forgotten]
I hope you are prepared for my revenge, cousin.
