[Thorin's not sure what to think over M leaving...true, they were not particularly close, but he did appreciate the strong woman's opinion and had a great respect for her after the business with the Gentlemen.]

...the bar won't be the same without her running the show...

_{[ He nodded, seeing the spot. He grips Thorin's ear in one hand and aligns the needle with the other. He didn't bother counting - people only tense when you count. He thrust the white-hot needle through the other's ear and out the other side, the heat cauterizing the wood instantly so there was no blood. He took the new piece from Thorin and quickly pushed it through the new hole, securing the back. ]}

There we are. I hope it wasn't to painful for you.

[Thorin didn't even flinch. He'd undergone this procedure so many times it didn't phase him a bit. Now, if he had gotten a lower piercing as Dwalin had, he probably would have been a bit more vocal.]

Not at all, you did very well, thank you.

[Thorin resists the urge to toy with the new piercing. He knows if he fiddles with it too much, it won't heal correctly.]

_{[ Ashura would not he been so confident doing it if his own ears had not been poked through so many times. But they were the only part of him pierced besides his navel, but that was a piercing only a few had seen - namely Felix. ]}

Quite welcome. I would suggest getting a salve from the medical clinic, just in case, but the cauterization should keep to much infection from setting it.

[fuckelves]

Right, right - not my first piercing lad, nor will it be my last.

[This is said with the faint sound of a chuckle. He'd had his ears pierced when his father and grandfather had died. He had a tattoo inked on when his brother fell, and when his sister's husband had as well.]

You cannot blame me for wanting to make sure I do not have to dab your brow with a cool cloth. My fingers would wrinkle.

_{[ He was teasing and he smiled at Thorin, glad to see them moving into a place of good cheer. ]}
