--you mean we just talk into it? [The sound comes through first, screen flickering between the warm tones and dark that speak of a hand covering up the camera on the comms device. It’s a jostling thing, and yet there’s a soft “Aha!” as the owner finally realizes how it (sort of) works and gently cups the device in his hands to stare in something close to awe. Not much can be seen past the large eyes and the dark unruly mane that falls about his shoulders, but Kili moves quickly enough, showing the device to his brother sitting next to him.]
Look, Fili, it’s like a mirror.
[Fili mutters something like ‘oi--elbow!’--before shoving Kili to the side, the blond now appearing on screen. His hair is more well managed, a few braids pulling it off his face. He’s facing Kili now, quirking an eyebrow.]
I told you--it’s some sort of magic. Allows you to talk to people like they’re right there. Don’t think they can be trusted. People could spy, you know--powerful magic, I think.
[Thing is, Fili hasn’t quite figured out the ‘on’ and ‘off’ thing on his...so there are times when he’s probably broadcast long expanses of nothing...as he hides his device under pillows.
But still, they have an audience, and if there is one thing that the brothers can do, it’s charm.]
Do you think anything can be trusted? [Kili murmurs to his brother as he leans back into frame, rucks hair back out of his eyes. But there is an audience and Kili preens a bit as he faces the camera once more.] Right. Hello then.
[And then he pauses, uncertain, and looks to Fili once more. Kili’s not entirely sure how to go about addressing a little handheld box that apparently speaks to the entirety of the ship, but really it’s not like Fili’s got any more of a clue there.]
My name is Fili.
[Fili gives a nod, naturally taking the lead in this. He is the older brother, after all. He gives a gesture towards the dark haired dwarf next to him.]
And this is my brother Kili. It seems that some of you may well familiar with our burglar’s nephew, Frodo Baggins. Curious place, bringing people from all times here. And different sorts of dwarves--I saw a female without a beard--very strange.
[But someone is getting on a tangent, focus, Fili. He shuts up, and gives Kili a chance to talk.]
What my brother means to say is that we are offering our services to the ship. [There’s a resolute nod, smile at his lips never fading.] It doesn’t seem like people are in need of smithies or leather workers here, but the offer stands.
We would also like to offer our weapons, a strange place like this could certainly use more protectors.
[Fili nods again, and gives a proud grin. Kili knows how to speak directly when he wishes to.]
We have the skill and heart for it, I assure you.
[They may have failed Thorin, in the end, but Fili is determined that they will not fail here.]

[She sets her gun on her desk and switches the communicator over to a video feed so he can see it.]

--colorful?
[It looks like a child's toy. He doesn't sound impressed, but is trying to be diplomatic.]

And deadly. Maybe I'll show you sometime.

Not here two weeks, and already threatened with death.
Not bad.

There's a shooting range on board. Let me know if you want to meet up there sometime and I'll let you take a better look at it.

I would like that a great deal, actually. Knowing another weapon would always be useful.
