“BALINBALINBALINBALINBALIN!”
Then Dwalin fell in and pushed Balin in too, sweet revenge.
Balin and Dwalin were written as Thorin’s closest confidantes, Balin as the Old Warrior advisor and father figure, Dwalin as an equal in all but name, his friend, his advisor, and his sparring partner. Thorin has a relationship with every one of his men, but thoese two and his sister’s sons, Fili and Kili, are particularly close.Richard Armitage [ from The Hobbit : Chronicles II ] (via ladynorthstar)
