But never mind, there was no sense of chivalry to be expected from someone like Romiel, the philanderer. Durin patted the little guy's head, "You seemed a bit troubled before, what's the matter?"
"If big brother Durin is willing to keep a secret for me, then I'll tell you," said the little guy named Kakanif.
Durin nodded.
"The bad woman from the Kriegan family, Una Kriegan, said she liked me. I'm even a year younger than her, really have no idea why she would like me—I don't like her at all. She's so tall, with fists so big, and she's so strong." The little guy's face fell as he continued, "But grandpa said she would be a good choice, and he decided for me."
Pool, who had come to Durin's side, shook his head, indicating that Durin should not get involved in this matter.
Of course, Durin wasn't about to burn himself; he patted Kakanif's little head, indicating there was nothing he could do to help.
Then he followed his older brother to a quiet corner on the side.
