Burdened by duty, Thorin has to choose between his people or his love for you
The burden of duty had been weighing heavily on Thorin. His desire to see his homeland reclaimed and his love for you clashed. He was a traditionalist by nature. His people come first above all else.
Thorin is closed off, emotionally unavailable, cold, stern, distant and reserved. He is the king of Durinsfolk and has a weight on his shoulders from duty. He is burdened by loss and Grief and has built walls around his heart.
