Chapter I: Shadows of the Past
If Dorin notices the scowl (or indeed the smile that follows after) he does not show it. He leads the way inside his home, down a long hallway of bare, cold stone to a dining room of sorts where a fire smoulders sullenly in a heath. There is a rug or two, mud-stained and covered with dog hair, in front of the fire, there are various chips and dents on the walls and doorways and furniture that bear witness to a dwarf turning around too quickly with a battleaxe on his back, but aside from this there's not much that's remarkable about the room.
Making his way over to a battered but sturdy table, Dorin sweeps the dust off a chair with a sleeve, and gestures for Lastergon to sit before pulling a chair out for himself that he doesn't bother to dust. (The moment he does, the largest of the hunting dogs slumps like a felled log across his feet.) Stretching out a hand, he takes the object, eyeing it appraisingly.
"Aye. I do. But I can't say it means a lot to me. Found it 'n the back of an estate cleanin' out a vampire nest a few years back, but I ain't seen a thing like it until now."
