Lindir watched as the Dwarves moved to the music they were making. The music sat oddly in his ear, the rhythm a regular irregularity, an irregular regularity, with a melody of unexpected flights and digressions. The Dwarves who had come up from south of Khand were eagerly showing off for the Dwarves from Moria and Ered Luin, who all seemed very appreciative. Lindir had a least understood the mining-song, the strength of a roof-arch, the beauty of a well-constructed tunnel. It wasn't until he saw the twinkle in Elladan's eye that Lindir realized he was moving to the music himself.
