Summary
Thorin, Fíli and Kíli didn’t die, but it was close. Very close. So close that they still haven’t woken up and Óin can’t tell whether (or if) they will.
The Company, with Bilbo having been injured and out of it for almost a week by now, will not hear of him leaving until winter passes at the very least, and he has to concede (not without a great amount or arguing and grumbling) when he goes to take a step out and is met with a gust of wind that almost bowls him over, one that brings the scent of snow and winter with it.
Not long after he’s being introduced to Dáin, and learns that nothing is being done to retrieve the bodies (allies or otherwise) from the battlegrounds, nothing to start the rebuilding of the mountain, the men and elves are still in Dale, Óin is the only healer they have to care for the injured dwarrow, and there’s not a single sliver of organisation.
He will not have that.
He didn’t risk his hide for a mountain just so that his work will be lost to laziness.
What else can he do then but to take on the mantle of Regent with The Company backing him?
