'In light of what has happened here at Abkân'aban, I shall soon have to speak to Prince Durin.
'That a servant of the First Crafter would reveal himself to us is too unbelievable a tale to send by any missive! Only my voice might lend it any credibility... and even so, the Prince may have to see with his own eyes!
'Let us not trouble our new benefactor, <name>. Our gratitude is enough, I think, and there are greater matters in this world for one of such power to lend his aid.
'You should speak to the others here and see if they are ready to depart. When that is so, come speak to me again!'
