Ori notices that Dori fusses much less over him when Bofur is around. That's because Bofur is so much more like a misbehaving, dirt-covered child than Ori could ever be, and Dori's motherly instincts just take over.
In an attempt to get out from under Dori's smothering wings more often, Ori tries to arrange for his oldest brother to be around Bofur more. Ori didn't think so far as to consider that not only is Bofur crude and messy, but also good natured and incredibly charming. And that Dori might fall for the guy. Ori is shocked.
"See it as a good thing, Ori! Maybe he'll stop being so finicky when he gets some."
"Oh, Nori, don't even say that!"
"The trick is not to visualize it, brother. But what I'm saying is, he might get off your back! Now that he's getting on Bof-"
"I'm not listening!"
I regret to inform you that ABBA has stolen my soul. Originally, I had not planned on having the chapter titles be song titles. However, after listening to the Mamma Mia soundtrack, things changed. The songs are intended to give each chapter a little more flavor and give you a little preview of what to expect in the next chapter. Enjoy!
Italic-thoughts
Ori had to get away. His heart pounded in his chest as he ran as fast as his little legs could carry him through the forest near their campsite.
Quickly, Ori slammed his back against a large tree; hoping that the foliage would camouflage his tiny form as he hid. Please don't find me. Please don't find me. The scribe prayed, as his heart hammered in his chest as loud as dwarfs mining in a cavern.
Sadly, for the red head, Mahal was not looking out for him today as a lager hand clasped over his shoulder.
"There you are, Ori! I was worried. Please do not run off like that again. You could get lost!" Dori frowned.
Yeah, I know. A really short chapter. They will be much longer in the future. So to make up for it, I will give you another update this week! Next song is Gimme, Gimme, Gimme-ABBA
