Chapter:
Samantha didn't like the idea of being bait, so she stayed as far away from Thorin as she could. Once she was far enough way she heard Bilbo and Veronica singing a very morbid song.
"I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee won't my mommy be so proud of me! I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee, ouch, it stung me! I'm squishing up a baby bumblebee won't my mommy be so proud of me, ew its yucky. I'm cleaning up a baby bumblebee, won't my mommy be so proud of me, I'm cleaning up a baby bumblebee, now my mommy won't be mad at me!"
Samantha wrinkled her nose, thinking about the morbidness of this song. Poor bumblebee, it was doomed to die. The minute it was picked up by the demented child.
Balin shook his head with a smile, "Bilbo and Veronica seem to have created a special bond, while the twins seem to want to be around you. Why don't you trust them?"
Samantha looked thoughtful, "I don't trust easily, and they are annoying. I like you, you are nice and don't torment me mercilessly."
Balin nodded then he made sure his horse kept going, thinking about what Samantha had said. This made sense, she trusted people older then her. Not so much people close to her own age, it seemed, besides her sister.
When they had stopped for a rest Samantha looked around the place where the farmer used to live. She had agreed with Gandalf right off the bat, they should keep moving. No use risking death when death could be avoided.
However, King Stick Up the Butt seemed to be contrary, as usual. Samantha wrinkled her nose and sat down by the twins, deciding it may be safer to sit by them at the moment. They where more likely to protect her at this point then Balin or Gandalf.
Veronica asked Thorin with a long suffering voice, "Why don't we just listen to Gandalf? Did it ever occur to you that he may know better then you?"
Thorin ignored Veronica and continued arguing with Gandalf. When Gandalf abandoned ship she went and stood by Bilbo, saying to her new friend, "Its alright, Gandalf will come back."
When the wolves howled Bilbo came over and he stood by Veronica, trembling at the same pace she was, "What is that?" The hobbit and Veronica asked at the same time.
"Orcs."
"They raid at night. Never a sound, just lots of blood."
Samantha looked at Kili with a irritated expression, she kicked at him sense she was sitting by Fili. She found the quieter dwarf better company, "Don't make my sister more OCD then she already is."
Kili looked confused, "What is OCD?" He looked at Veronica when she started to explain.
Veronica was using her hands a lot, they where fluttering around without herself realizing it, "OCD is a mental disorder that makes you obsessively compulsively think or do something."
Kili nodded once, understanding that. He flinched when his uncle said harshly, "You think Orc raids are funny?"
Kili said in a soft voice, "I meant nothing by it." He looked at the ground. Samantha felt bad for the normally happy dwarf and she took his head in a odd hug, causing Kili to smile and squirm away to escape.
"Of course not, you know nothing of the world." Thorin said sharply as he walked away.
Kili looked sad again and Samantha said in a quiet voice so only the twins could hear, "I think the stick is up his rear again."
Kili covered his mouth and pretended to be stroking an imaginary beard. He held in a laugh while Fili got a wide grin across his face. Balin saw Fili and Kili struggling with their composure and came over, telling them all the tragic story of why Thorin was so depressed and angry.
Samantha summed the dwarf king up, "So the elves wronged him, an Orc killed someone he loved, therefore he is bitter and angry at the world, and because of that he feels the need to lash out at people."
Balin thought about this then nodded, "Yes, thats pretty much it."
