when we fight (we fight like lions)

Thorin and Bilbo make peace after the Battle, and with Winter right around the corner the hobbit remains in Erebor at the King's invitation. With the reparations of the dwarven kingdom continuing apace, the memories of war and Thorin's gold-sickness continue to plague the hobbit's memories - Bilbo longs to return to the Shire, convinced that despite the words of forgiveness spoken in Thorin's healing tent the friendship between the Dwarf King and the Burglar is beyond repair. But Winter is snapping at their heels with its icy teeth and Bilbo must remain in the Lonely Mountain until the roads are safe to travel once more. Will the long winter months truly be as miserable and lonely as the hobbit fears? Or could the longing in his heart for the Dwarf King be healed with the help of a charismatic Iron Hills captain?
