[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...

[ she knows she shouldn't take it as a personal affront. but it's difficult not to feel some reaching dread down into her veins. ] I-is your work finished, then?

Has Cothromach become a bad place to live in?

Does it now? {What a pleasant revelation! Aragorn smiles in delight, happy to have something good to focus on.} Master Bilbo, a party is precisely what is needed.

[ Stationed at Cathraon with a contingent of elves, Legolas is seated in his tent for once, rather than being out and about with the troops, training and talking and keeping spirits up and explosive attitudes down. He smiles at Fili kindly, mirthful and curious both. ]

You are leaving! Surely you will not keep it a secret from me where you are headed?

[ Nobody told him!!! ]

Is it? Then my good wishes to Master Gimli on such an auspicious day. Travel safely, Master Dwarves, and may your axes ever strike true and riches never leave your house.
