Gollum ventured deep into the cave searching for the roots of the mountain, already he felt better out of the hot glare of the sun. He wouldn't have to see anyone who would hurt him or try to steal his precious away ever again. He started to hum, pleased at the thought of it being just him and the ring. Eventually, he reached a great chamber with a lake in it. Slime dripped from the walls and the dim lines of white cave fish could be seen.

“Look at this, precious, isn't it good? The mountain will keep us safe.”

That's a nice gap filler.

Poor Gollum. There's something really sad about this.

Thank you! Gollum doesn't seem to have been particularly beloved by those around him, still the fish might taste good!

The precious agrees, for the time being, although not very interested in the fish.
Gollum's forgetting he hurt others first, before being hurt back, but the precious is probably helping to edge him away from those memories.

Some people blame others for everything!
