Thorin tilts a brow at that - obviously this was news to him. He hadn't really counted on that, but it made sense. Ashura resembled an Elf well enough; in fact that point had actually put Thorin off when they first met - so why shouldn't the fairer Ashura have Elf friends?

Not that Thorin had to like it.

"Nor did I," Thorin took a long gulp from his drink. "Tell me, do you call our esteemed host 'friend'?"

Thorin hadn't decided yet what he thought about this 'Felix' - but after seeing how hurt Ashura had been by him, he was inclined not to like the wizard.
