^^^^^^Erebor/Lonely Mountain^^^^^^

Frain was allowed to bring one smaller-sized company of dwarves, which he would have to pay, if he wanted the spoils of trade. Frain was sure he could recover his losses. Frain also thought it was good that they were going with the Elves. Frain did not like Elves, but if they traveled with them, it was less the dwarves had to really worry about. They now had more time to prepare, instead of wasting precious time thinking up routes and such.

After the meeting, Frain strolled out into the cool, comfortable, and moist airs of the Mountain. He decided to oversee some of the work, and to speak to the engineers he would choose to go along. He walked at a quick trod towards the great hall where workers bustled about, making preparations.

Frain walked by several workers he had met once or twice in his time. He spoke some hello's and helped a few that needed it. He reached the end of the hall after a while, and after helping some people he thought were straying from their tasks.

He saw then the two people he was looking for. The two most intelligent engineers he had ever met, and they had somehow gotten to be the leaders of one of the best engineering companies Frain had.

“Hail, my friends, Burin and Curin!” He called, and proceeded to inform the brothers that their company would be on the move tomorrow, and that they should tell their workers immediately.

Frain smiled to himself as he began to walk more about the hall, helping a little as he went.

All in all, he thought this would be a good trip for him…
