Summary
“Why’d you change them? Your eyes, I mean.”
Kerry almost missed the distant question – called out to him from a room away – over the clanging of pots and pans.

Decades before that, and with far too much left unsaid, Thorin Oakenshield had done the same.
Now, whether due to the fumblings of Fate or the meddling of the Valar themselves, they each awoke - miles from each other, returned to the start of their quest, and certain they were entirely alone in the matter. -
