“Oh hoho, that mus’ be everybody!” Exclaimed kili as he heard the commotion and rumble upon the floor. He was filling his pint and enjoying the taste of it. It wasnt dwarven of course but it was free. “I wonder if uncle is with them” said fili as he picked his nails a little with a butterknife wondering where idunn had slipped off too, he hadn’t seen her since they dropped their bags at the hall and he figured she was busy elsewhere fussing as she seemed to do but he didnt bother mentioning that she was there, she was sneaking after all.

“Geh’t offa me!” Breathed gloin as he clawed his way out from beneath bombur who gave a heart rumble of a laugh as they all tried escaping his massive beard and belly, bofur and nori being the firsts out and prying them all out and up with the joint effort. Bilbo was looking extremely done with it all and seemed to be struck dumb with frustration but it was evident he had choice words to say. But as they cleared out the doorway Gandalf dipped under the doorway and stood up but not before he hit his head upon the chandelier. And started his way into the house. Followed by bilbo after they all walked in and dumped their items in the growing pile of supplies and he looked at all the dust and dirt of the dwarves filling his home with commotion, and to think! What if they were witnessed barging in like this? What would everyone think?? This was a most peculiar night indeed.

“Master baggins, i’ll deal with all this, i’m sorry for these rufffians, they ‘ave manors i promise” came the dwarrowdam who hung behind with a smile as a commotion began to swell up in the dinning area and he sputtered a quick “thank you, that remains to be seen” he said still upset and she smiled knowingly and quickly before she began to organize their items so haphazardly discarded.

As goin and oin passed through the doors to everyone else oin saw a glimpse of a a flash of red in the corner of his eye and paused a moment before gloin bumped into him a second “are ye lost?” He gave as he righted himself and looked where his elder brother was locked but a gruff smile came upon oin’s features “nothin’ i think, i mus’be missin’ the family already” he said and gloin sighed “oh don’t get all mushy you’ll get me goin’ “ he said and moved around him to enter the cheers of the growing company and oin followed behind and got into his place ‘oh i hope me eyes ‘r deceiving me’

Fili has noticed that idunn had the even emerged with her uncles and now he was curious if she was even there anymore, it was curious that she would come all that way to not even declare herself a member knowing they were scant enough as the company was. So after he made his greetings,sharing head-buts and boisterous shoves and back claps he squeezed past them into where he last saw her and whispered fast and quiet to seek her out “lass!” He whispered peeking around a corner “Where are ye?” He said before he heard a gruff “who‘re ye callin’ a lass??” Came moria as she feigned shock that he’d call her that and he turned red as he came up with something quick

“I’m sorry i thought ladies loved bein’ called lass! But i was hoping ye still Came!” He said quickly as he smiled and offered an embrace to Moria and she accepted with a jovial laugh as her thick arms embraced him back with a back pat “ oh i wouldn’t miss it fer the world” she said with a wink “so did thorin travel with ye’?” She asked him with a smile but his shake of the head of ‘No’ made her frown a little “he left before we did, tha’s odd” she said before she kicked a bag into place and started walking into the area with the others but saw he wasn’t coming with her and was a little suspicious of him as she already felt he wasn’t looking for her “ye coming?” She asked him and he gave a quick “ye, i jus’ wanted t’grab somethin’ from me bag i’ll be right there” he said and walked over to his pack and blinked a little at it’s neatly packed and stored items and smiled as he looked around for idunn after moria had gone far enough away.

When they had gone upstairs they easily settled into the room that they had received. it was a smaller accommodation, possibly a hobbit room no doubt, the beds were smaller, roof was lower, and it was furnished simply but with obvious handed down worn quilts and a bundle of well dried flowers to freshen the room up a little to rid it of the stale scent, but other than that it was good fro the price and he looked about to make sure that they stayed safe so they could sleep well that night. while fili was securing the bedroom, kili was dividing up the food Dis had packed for them that morning and lit a fire in he small potbellied stove heater in the center of the room and he warmed up his hands a bit and looked around and stopped on fili.

“so what do you think this burglar will be like? i thought Nori was a sneaky enough dwarf, why do we need an outsider?’ he asked as fili shoved a chair under the doorknob and he answered with a simple “well, if we make it to the mountain and get in, when its time to find the arkenstone and if the dragon is alive, the idea is that maybe he wont recognize what he is and wont be readily eaten. or at least that’s what i understand..” he said and then plopped onto the bed and removed his boots while kili had already kicked off his shoes and was holding them up before the heater with a goofy smile on his face and fili couldn’t help but smile at him. “so basically if the journey doesn’t kill us then the dragon will?” he asked and fili laughed “yeah, but we have uncle with us, we can get through anything. not to mention we have Tharkun” fili said and picked through the remainder of the meet and cheese he had laying on his bed now.

“Think we’ll be on time?” kili asked as he laid back now chewing some meat as he was fiddling with the rune stone in his hands as he was just talking absentmindedly; something he often did when he was tired. “yeah, or at least we need to..we should sleep and get up early in the morning” he said and continued “finish your food and we’ll go to sleep” he said  resolutely as he finished stuffing his face and kili sat up and took the waxed paper he held the food on as he climbed into it and continued eating it before he balled it up and tossed it near his feet and sighed loudly and fili smirked “ could you be anymore annoying brother?” he asked him and kili laughed as he looked across the room at him “Maybe” he said and then got under his covers more and soon settled to bed and fili wondered what dangers they would get into. thorin had been preparing him but he knew he was still being vague about the horrors that could befall them but for now he would enjoy the nice bed in the pretty cozy room, because he knew from here on out it was most likely they would be sleeping on hard grounds and striving through the elements and he simply felt ready and excited for it.

He watched as she was lost in thought for a breath and then continued to eat her pie. Usually he would have worried about what she was thinking but the tender blush of her cheeks made him smile and not pry, it couldn’t have been anything bad with a face like that. It was lovely just having this moment alone to talk and discuss everything that had been mounting in their lives and finally coming to a head but for now he figured that he should just rest in the knowledge that it could wait until they returned

“You’re right, azyûngal, one step at a time” he said gently with a smile still caressing her hand as he hadn’t let it go just yet. it was warm and calming and the simple act it was what he yearned so long for it was sending butterflies a flight in his stomach just for the sensation alone.

“So, should we spend the day in Dale before we head back? Or just enjoy the lakeside?” He asked her with a smile as he rubbed her hand with his thumb.

“Well could you blame him??” Asked Dis to Thorin after they had finally finished eating. All morning they had discussed the night before and even more this morning with fili and idunn now both out of the mountain. Kili had gotten annoied after he ate and requested that he leave the table but dis insisted he stay a while longer so now he was juggling spoons and letting them clang on the table every once in a while, especially at moments of most annoyance to him.

“I could. L i understand BUT there are ways it should be done. He looks like a mad youngling” (clang) thorin sai expressed looking at his tea, cold again as he had been rating and complaining with every step of the situation. Thinya had already left to start her duties with her ladies, and unknowingly to thorin she started gathering information and planning ways to help the couple. She was annoied at the way he was making such a fuss when he was the most lovestruck dwarf out there. “I jus’ feel, that he could have just told us that he had someone in mind instead of doing this. I’m more angry that he feels we will just ignore what he wants and just refuses to hear what we have to say”

“Well i talked to him, maybe he just knows his uncle” dis said as she ate her last bit of food as thorin scowled “no, he just doesn’t want to hear bad news. I know we know the dwarrowdam, and she went on the journey with is and i will take into account that we all share that. But i still haven’t had time to get to know her (clang)and there are still other dwarf lords that could offer up trade and have daughters to show off. (Clang)You’d be surprised at how petty they could get for not even getting a chance.” Thorin grumbled as he spoke and kili let out a long sigh and let al the spoons fall on the table and thorin looked at him

“Do ye have somethin’ t’share kili?” Thorin asked kili a little raised and frustrated at the constant panging in his ear and the later opened his mouth ready to speak but smiled and said “no, i dont think i should” he said and thorin’s hands sort of jumped up like he was going to choke the air itself and his eyes gave a wee twitch as dis gave a little laugh and a shake to her head “okay then, i think you’ve been here long enough i’m done hearing those spoons” he said as he watched kili hop up quickly and start leaving before they changed their minds. And just as the door closed he smiled and dis adjusted in her seat pressing her palms into the table to extend her spine into its tall back

“ he’s going to tell him everything you said” she said with a laugh and at that he smirked tiredly as he rubbed his face with a large palm “oh i know, i feel he will tell him what i can’t at least, maybe he will understand my point of view during the wild rantings of kili” he said as he sighed a while, as dis smiled “well lets hope it works in your favor then. I just want fili to be happy after all of this. Just because now we are in a position to give him a great wealthy connected wife doesn’t mean he has to have what WE believe is best for him, we should give her a fair chance. For fili’s sake.” She said gently looking at her fingers before looking to her brother scowling at her now “.. we’ll see.” Thorín said after a little while of thinking.

‘..just want him to be happy..’

When Fili took that time to try and enjoy the ride but the anxiety of just thinking of that dragon under the water reminded him of a story Thorin told him about when he was suffering dragon sickness. standing in the middle of that golden floor feeling like he was sinking and smaug was underneath it and he feared that any moment the dragon would swoop down and breathe fire or even burst out of the water when he was near the shores again- ’relax fili,everything is okay…its dead.. the nly thing that is real and alive there is her…idunn’ he thought as he opened his eyes again and sighed blinking a bit his eyes as he got closer and closer to the lake and as it seemed to grow before his eyes locked on her soaked red hair beautiful like oxidizing copper in the sun and he smiled as he hopped off his pony slowly walked up behind her not missing the cheeky fact that she was indeed in her undergarments and he saw how beautiful her frame was and her focus allowing his big feet to sneak up behind her and he couldn’t help but feel peace when she was anywhere around and he just let out a long sigh and could see her jump lightly, probably recognizing his voice

“so is this what you do when things get bad? you run away and i find you wet and half naked, i guess it could be worse haha” he teased her with a laugh as he came closer to her and leaned over before he kissed her head gently and didn’t pry on the front of her he wanted to wait, he wanted to marry her before he found out her body it was a blessing and he wanted to wait more than ever. “whatever he said you don’t have to worry because he doesn’t know and you are my life, my one and no matter how anyone may think i am not having a lap in judgement. i found my one and i’m walking through hellfire to have her. So my love, when we go back to that mountain i want you to go through those gates with me hand in hand and just be us. or however you want to do it, i am not ashamed and if just walking back together is what you wanted we can do that too because it doesn’t mean you aren’t in love, you have a right to be cautiousness if that will help you i will do that. so long as you are by my side.i am so happy i could dance naked through Erebor haha” he said and he smiled at her then stood up again “now put on your clothes so i can hold you properly Azyungal” he said with a chuckle and turned around “i’m not looking” he said and was smiling to himself with a chuckle.

2 am to 10:30 am is prime sleep schedule

[uzbadyand]

Bilbo handed off the blades to idunn in a huff but somewhat respectful as she was being reasonable in this flustering turn of events “well, t-thats very kind if you” he said but before he could direct her there came another knock at the door and his arms shot to his lithe sides angrily “NO NO!” He shouted as he turned back to the direction of the doorway as he winded back through his home to reach the door stomping is abnormally large feet towards the doorway

“THERES NOBODY HOME! Go AWAY AND BITHER SOMEBODY ELSE!” He said continueing down the hall out of idunn’s sight but still is earshot “There are far too many DWARVES in my dining room already! If this is some BLOTTHEAD’s idea of a joke! HAHA i can only say..it is in VERY poor taste!” He fussed as he pulled open the door firmly and hopped aeay thankfully out of the way lest he had been buried in a tumble of heavy dwarves of every color on his threshold and one manky grey wizard in his doorway. Only one dwarrow stood standing by holding tight to his staff and it was another dwarrowdam in a yellow cloak and a chortle at watching them all fall like a bundle of sticks.

The hobbit was more than through with all this as he sighed with all the sass his little body could muster “Gandalf.”

-

Though fili could hear the hobbit spouting away he was too busy rearranging the room with his brother and mentors, the place was a bit cramped for a group of dwarves and the new arrangement was much better for the party to discuss and plan. “Oi, where’d ye get the ale?” Kili asked as he pushed in a chair. “Over there boy, an’ get me another if’n ye don’t mind” said balin in response to kili, his gentle older voice cutting through the gruff directions if dwalin to fili about the cookie jar as he couldn’t grab another before.

When they had gone upstairs they easily settled into the room that they had received. it was a smaller accommodation, possibly a hobbit room no doubt, the beds were smaller, roof was lower, and it was furnished simply but with obvious handed down worn quilts and a bundle of well dried flowers to freshen the room up a little to rid it of the stale scent, but other than that it was good fro the price and he looked about to make sure that they stayed safe so they could sleep well that night. while fili was securing the bedroom, kili was dividing up the food Dis had packed for them that morning and lit a fire in he small potbellied stove heater in the center of the room and he warmed up his hands a bit and looked around and stopped on fili.

He smiled as he watched the sweet rudeness of her cheeks darken upon her pale cheeks ‘Mahal, she’s so lovely’ he thought to himself as he rummaged through his bag eventually sitting down on the ground since they would obviously be eating together, there was no rush to get back and he was sure they would send someone out to gather them soon enough or simply his mother would let him have some time, he was at least owed that from everyone and his uncle..at least he hoped he would alot him that.

“I mus’ say i am very nervous about meetin’ yer father, from yer stories it seems yer his favorite” he said looking to her with glee. Though his eyes widened a little at the end “i know bein’ one of the heros an’a prince doesn’t count, only that we have history of gettin’ along already and us being happy together.. i just hope i survive meetin’im” fili said as he sighed a little finishing off his pie and talking a bit more with his mouth full a little.

“I mean,..we nearly saw death,..how hard can courting be??” He said sarcastically as he smiled at her hoping to lighten the mood a but more but possibly failing. “I just hope i can please him and show him i’m true, same with yer sister an’ edain but i think we have an understandin’ by now, though i never asked him how he would feel or the family i jus kinda freaked out and bypassed everythin’ i should have jus started the groundwork but i didn’t want t’pressume ye loved me too. Friendship is evident, very close friends surely, but love was nearly a dream to hope for an’ i refused t’ push ye but i am grateful of how it happened, i think mahal had t’ push us along” he said blushing brightly “i’m a fool love, i hope ye learn t’ forgive me fer it” he said happily as he found her hand and nuzzled his lips to her fingertips lovingly

“Also. I jus hope yer family accepts me. Its one thing to be generally loved and respected, but another t’ truly be accepted into a family. I imagine it will be jus as difficult as my own.” He said as he plucked up an apple and started buffing it lightly against his pant leg before taking a bite.

When Fili took that time to try and enjoy the ride but the anxiety of just thinking of that dragon under the water reminded him of a story Thorin told him about when he was suffering dragon sickness. standing in the middle of that golden floor feeling like he was sinking and smaug was underneath it and he feared that any moment the dragon would swoop down and breathe fire or even burst out of the water when he was near the shores again- ’relax fili,everything is okay…its dead.. the nly thing that is real and alive there is her…idunn’ he thought as he opened his eyes again and sighed blinking a bit his eyes as he got closer and closer to the lake and as it seemed to grow before his eyes locked on her soaked red hair beautiful like oxidizing copper in the sun and he smiled as he hopped off his pony slowly walked up behind her not missing the cheeky fact that she was indeed in her undergarments and he saw how beautiful her frame was and her focus allowing his big feet to sneak up behind her and he couldn’t help but feel peace when she was anywhere around and he just let out a long sigh and could see her jump lightly, probably recognizing his voice

Idunn's face flushed even worse covering her face with her palms. There was a bit of irritation at it being mentioned though it was rather hard to be angry when so throughly embarrassed.

Idunn made an almost choked squeak sound hearing that. She jumped him? She knew for a fact that he hadn't been there when she drifted off to sleep so if anyone had jumped someone, it would have been him that jumped her

Her thoughts were cut off by an angry flush and a flash of hurt at being called a piglet. A small rarely heard part of her wondered almost hopelessly if that was something he always thought about her. She knew he probably hadn't meant it but somehow, that comment which was meant to amuse felt a bit like the heated metal of a poker.

"I'd watch your words or it won't be a pretend beating." She said almost grumpily suddenly feeling not as upbeat anymore and while her words were sharp from the anger, she still had yet to really pull her hands from her face even as she glared at him through her hands.

"Than perhaps you should hurry on. No need to worry her needlessly by hanging around a piglet." Idunn found herself saying as she finally removed her hands from her face though her eyes were firmly close.

It probably wasn't exactly nice to start ignoring him but she didn't want to actually see him now. Her eyes always gave away her feelings and she didn't want him to realize that she had picked up an unfortunate insecurity from the time spent around humans.

@idunnthedwarrowdam

fili hadn't noticed her sudden seriousness as he was still locked into a playful mood but the second removed her hands and she didn't look at him his laughter quickly fell away as he gave a final waking laugh "idunn, it's all in good fun, heh, i didn't mean to offend you" he said coming close to her again to pluck up her hand and tugging it a little to get her attention moving to look her in the eye, he knew if she refused to look him in the eye she was upset with him and he hated that

"was it because i called you a piglet? it was all in jest i promise i don't mean it, it is actually adorable to hear from you I've never heard it before, don't be angry with me" he said squeezing her palm with his hand reassuringly as he frowned now knowing it must have been one of her triggers and he was filled with regret.

"c'mon, let's get out of here, at least, and if you'd rather hang out later that is fine too but please don't stay mad at me, i actually care about what you think of me" he said put out a little as he let idunn's hand go knowing she was tense from it anyways. "the offer still stands for breakfast though.. and it probably is better if we split up instead of leaving here together i guess." he said with a mumble now as he finished dusting himself off figuring she needed her space a while instead of persisting in his desire to not leave in bitter feelings "i'll be over here" he said pointing to a corner with a little sigh. there was a barrel of water in the stable corner as he used the reflection to clean up his hair and braids with a little comb in his pocket as he waited to hear her talk to him again.

He loved this and wished they could do this whenever there was a moment alone. He could smell her scent, the warm metalic smell of her skin, no doubt caused by her quick retreat and craft, but the way her hair smelled sweet and light against his nose he hummed and smiled as he studied the hair before him and the soft fuzzy cheek of hers so lovely and perfect. Bringing back the feeling of the fire in the quest they slept beside, and how it felt as though it were only them. He wished it was only them but he didnt know how in arda to figure out a way to just form the words. She was talented and though he was a prince she was his friend, dear friend and he feared she wouldnt want to deal with that. She was discreet and kept to herself and craft. Mahal wasnt she amazing. He only hoped that her injury didnt effect that but he kept the embrace. He wanted to savor this as long as he could before she woke but he couldnt help but ghost his lips along her hair, his nose buried into it gently so he wouldnt wake her and a light shift made him pull away just that much so he wouldnt be too caught. His hand he could explain away but the sniffing certainly could not have.

“No no, you were a perfect dwarf even in that state, not embarrassing At all” ori said quietly as he sat in a chair and smiled “though you should have seen the crowed you drew, it was something to see, you drank more than dwalin” he said with a chuckle and edain blushed a little with his hand rubbing his pink neck now “Mahal, remind me to not do that again, I don’t know what got over me” he said a little embarrassed but ori just sighed “competition and kili’s nudges of pride sums it up, he’s good for mischief” ori said as he shared a biscuit off his plate and put on some jam and butter “we have more in there if you’d like” he said and took a bite himself and edain smiled “I’ll see if I need more after, you’ve already brought so much were you sharing with me?” He asked with a pinch of hope in his voice and ori gave a shy smile “just a little, I’m sure Dori has some set aside in there. But I wanted to check on you” he said before he popped another piece into his mouth.

[uzbadyand]

Idunn's almost anxious expression soured hearing that and she pointed a finger at both of them. "Just because that's what's expected of me doesn't mean that's what I'll do. Teasing me won't change my mind." Idunn said doing her best not to snap at them if only because she did hope they would side with her.

"A difficulty for you, I'm sure" Idunn said with an eye roll. "they can try, certainly." Idunn added grimly but with a determined glint in her eye. She had backup plans in case the tried and she doubted they would wish to waste the effort it would take to actually keep her from the quest.

Idunn scowled at being manhandled but relaxed her expression into a kind and polite expression just before the door was opened. She shot a short glare at Kili for the almost startling and now sore side from his nudge before she said, "Pardon our intrusion on your front step, Sir. My name is Idunn, At your service. Might we come in?"

Her expression told plainly that if he refused that she would likely stay outside however much she didn't wish to. She had a feeling from his expression that he might not be as aware of their purpose but she would try to help him along if she could.

@idunnthedwarrowdam

"you must be Mr.Boggins!" said kili confidently and happily as The face of the Hobbit looking at all of them and a slight regretful but frustrated yet horrified air about him he quickly said "Nope you cant come in you've come to the wrong house!" he quickly said and was moving to slam the door in their faced but the large hand of kili slapping the door back open in horror thinking they themselves had been dooped "what!? has it been cancled?" he said as he stepped forward seeking answers and fili stepped forward too sort of squishing idunn between them as she was dragged forward a bit too "no one told us" said fili as he looked Bilbo in the face and bilbo scrunched his face in confusion.

"Canceled?? nothing's been cancelled" he said confused at what they were even talking about and kili smiled a wild smile and pushed in "oh that's a relief!" as he barged into his home and started walking deeper into the house as they all followed before kili started hearing the others that were already there dropping down his pack and weapons at the coat rack as he was filled with excitement and fili walked in as well leaving idunn in the threshold of the house as bilbo sarcastically extended an arm into his home as if welcoming her since everyone else was just barging in now before he folowed quickly to see where thery were coming to do but soon as he caught up as fili spoke to him again as he started unloading his supplies on him.

"Careful with these, i just had them sharpened" he said plopping down his akimbo swords into his arms as kili trounced around his foyer admiring the architecture "It's nice, this place..ye do all this yeself?" he asked before scrubbing his boots on a box in a corner in the hall "oh uh, n-no it's been in the family for yeA-THAT'S MY MOTHER'S GLORY BOX! Please don't do that" bilbo exclaimed as he watched him dirty it up with his dirty boots before Dwalin appeared in the hall now from an adjacent room

"fili kili, come on give us a hand" said dwalin as he wrapped his arm around kili's shoulder "Mr. Dwalin!" said kili before he walked kili into the room he had just appeared from, missing Idunn entirely in the hallway

When they had gone upstairs they easily settled into the room that they had received. it was a smaller accommodation, possibly a hobbit room no doubt, the beds were smaller, roof was lower, and it was furnished simply but with obvious handed down worn quilts and a bundle of well dried flowers to freshen the room up a little to rid it of the stale scent, but other than that it was good fro the price and he looked about to make sure that they stayed safe so they could sleep well that night. while fili was securing the bedroom, kili was dividing up the food Dis had packed for them that morning and lit a fire in he small potbellied stove heater in the center of the room and he warmed up his hands a bit and looked around and stopped on fili.

“so what do you think this burglar will be like? i thought Nori was a sneaky enough dwarf, why do we need an outsider?’ he asked as fili shoved a chair under the doorknob and he answered with a simple “well, if we make it to the mountain and get in, when its time to find the arkenstone and if the dragon is alive, the idea is that maybe he wont recognize what he is and wont be readily eaten. or at least that’s what i understand..” he said and then plopped onto the bed and removed his boots while kili had already kicked off his shoes and was holding them up before the heater with a goofy smile on his face and fili couldn’t help but smile at him. “so basically if the journey doesn’t kill us then the dragon will?” he asked and fili laughed “yeah, but we have uncle with us, we can get through anything. not to mention we have Tharkun” fili said and picked through the remainder of the meet and cheese he had laying on his bed now.

“Think we’ll be on time?” kili asked as he laid back now chewing some meat as he was fiddling with the rune stone in his hands as he was just talking absentmindedly; something he often did when he was tired. “yeah, or at least we need to..we should sleep and get up early in the morning” he said and continued “finish your food and we’ll go to sleep” he said  resolutely as he finished stuffing his face and kili sat up and took the waxed paper he held the food on as he climbed into it and continued eating it before he balled it up and tossed it near his feet and sighed loudly and fili smirked “ could you be anymore annoying brother?” he asked him and kili laughed as he looked across the room at him “Maybe” he said and then got under his covers more and soon settled to bed and fili wondered what dangers they would get into. thorin had been preparing him but he knew he was still being vague about the horrors that could befall them but for now he would enjoy the nice bed in the pretty cozy room, because he knew from here on out it was most likely they would be sleeping on hard grounds and striving through the elements and he simply felt ready and excited for it.

Idunn felt as if her chest contained a bit of lit coal. it was so warm and felt a bit as if her heart was trying to burst from her chest; both the kiss and the feeling of his nose nuzzling against her own. It was all so gentle and she felt as if they were gently carving their feelings into a gem that could shatter at the first false move.\

Despite that feeling, she was certain their feelings were not the fragile gemstones. Perhaps that was a possibility that, had things been different, would have been true. She could easily assign Fili the role of coal though not so quick to be extinguished.

Fili was the future of their people, he was the light that fought off the dark of the night, and He was the untapped potential of every dwarf in the mountain. She did not know a single person that wasn't at least fond of him.

In the case of herself, Idunn's father had always told her that she was made of iron mined from the mountains. That she was an unrefined resource but with time, experience, and a stubborn soul; She would change until none could hope to match her. She wasn't always so sure of that, after all Iron did rust but more than that she was simply thankful he never compared her to mithril.

Together though, They could make something stronger than they were alone. Together they could be like steel; Stronger, able to last longer than they might have alone, and more prepared to face the troubles that life brought them.

"Or perhaps after the official extravagant show of courting is over, you might be more able to use them to make me something i will actually wear? " She said her eyes still closed, they had shut when he pressed a kiss to her forehead, with a teasing grin before adding "Just because i adore weapons doesn't mean that is all i like. i am just a bit more simple than tradition would like, yes?"

She wasn't opposed to jewelry but most fancy jewelry would melt at the heat she often had to endure to do her Craft. Besides that, She also wouldn't hate to own and wear something he made for her.

"Of course, I'd never want to make you look like a fool." She told him with a glint of amusement in her eyes. Idunn felt as if her heart was squeezing in her chest and she was trying to hold back tears, happy ones this time, as she found herself laughing at hearing him say she completed him.

It felt almost unreal to hear despite being there in his arms. Hearing about him being king filled her with both pride, knowing he would be a good king, and a flash of anxiety. She focused back on what he was saying instead of dwelling on that.

Idunn gave him a fond smile. It sounded wonderful despite more anxiety that felt as if she might not be all that he was thinking she was. She was just a simple ladysmith, one that often forgot her own needs in her efforts to follow her passion.

Idunn found herself shaking her head gently saying, "There is no rush, Fili. I am not going to change my mind about us just because everyone needs time. I don't think anyone could have forseen all this happening as it did." Idunn gave his forearm a reassuring squeeze and ignored him on having to dry off.

She wasn't really uncomfortable and while she understood him wanting to make her presentable for her first official meeting with his family, She wasn't exactly the most put together. She was messy, occasionally obnoxious, and forgetful at times.

"I still am afraid enough for the both of us but... I am not going to let that keep me from staying by your side." Idunn told him with the smallest shake in her voice admitting her fear was still very much present.

Idunn smiled faintly at his mentioning being long winded. her eyes closed feeling his hand in her hair and she all but melted against him even as he ran his fingers over the bead. Idunn found herself feeling almost breathless hearing him say that.

It felt almost hard to breath for a moment before she replied in kind. "Oh Fili, I love you. i love you so much." Idunn blushed a bit thinking that she sounded rather breathless when she said it but she would never take it back.

Idunn accepted his help to stand as her knees felt weak. She still looked tense but no more than she might usually look. Knowing they would have to start somewhere at fixing the poorly handled situation they now found themselves in, Idunn was nervous. Her own family would have to wait at least until her father and sister came, if they did come like she asked.

"we will get through this i swear on my life" he assured again as he looked into her brilliant eyes perfectly accentuating her face, her fiery red hair drying into full beautiful locks of waved hair around her shoulders and he couldn't help but quickly look down at the way her shift lightly stuck to her frame in certain places as she had yet to dry off and his face tinged red with glee as he held in a whistle after seeing her frame.

'my goodness ye' are mahal's greatest creation' he said as he shrugged off his own coat to wrap around her trying to recover what decorum he had in him after his shameless look at her "here let this warm ye up a bit before ye get dressed again" he said with a smile as he looked out onto the lake as she either put on the coat or got dressed, he wasn't sure which she would do.

"i swear, this lake will never not be unsettling, but ye' make it seem less so if ye' trust it" he said as he leant over to pick up a nice couple of flat rocks to skip across the lake's semi calm surface; the day had light winds and it was quite quiet besides the few water loving birds that lived on its surface. "how do you.." fili started as he tossed another rock onto the lake "how do you think your family will react, i know edain was skeptical.. but what do you think your father will feel?" fili said cautiously as he looked to her now a little worried

"my mother want's to talk with you more. My aunt the Thinya is in support and i know kili is in support of us, and honestly i think the rest of the party would be too as they know you. but uncle is stubborn and in the end i know he will give it a good try to parade the other noble's daughters around only because he doesn't want a headache and he doesn't want to be defied. but in the end i hope after all we have been through he will back down and agree." he said filling the air as he noticed her still in thought. throwing a rock a little too hard still rawly angry at his uncle's hesitance. he saw this happen with kili but he understood it was because she was a elf, but his idunn?? she was a beautiful dwarf, though she is half human, he still had no right to deny her especially with his own one being half elf. it was insane to him.

"oh, also i got some food in dale, some meat pies and sweets if you want some my love" he said as he had empty hands again and walked over to his pack and fished out a few meat pies and honey taffies from inside it and offered her some "do you want any?" he asked her as he took a bite of his pie tasting the exotic spices they tied into its seasonings with a smile

When Fili took that time to try and enjoy the ride but the anxiety of just thinking of that dragon under the water reminded him of a story Thorin told him about when he was suffering dragon sickness. standing in the middle of that golden floor feeling like he was sinking and smaug was underneath it and he feared that any moment the dragon would swoop down and breathe fire or even burst out of the water when he was near the shores again- ’relax fili,everything is okay…its dead.. the nly thing that is real and alive there is her…idunn’ he thought as he opened his eyes again and sighed blinking a bit his eyes as he got closer and closer to the lake and as it seemed to grow before his eyes locked on her soaked red hair beautiful like oxidizing copper in the sun and he smiled as he hopped off his pony slowly walked up behind her not missing the cheeky fact that she was indeed in her undergarments and he saw how beautiful her frame was and her focus allowing his big feet to sneak up behind her and he couldn’t help but feel peace when she was anywhere around and he just let out a long sigh and could see her jump lightly, probably recognizing his voice

“so is this what you do when things get bad? you run away and i find you wet and half naked, i guess it could be worse haha” he teased her with a laugh as he came closer to her and leaned over before he kissed her head gently and didn’t pry on the front of her he wanted to wait, he wanted to marry her before he found out her body it was a blessing and he wanted to wait more than ever. “whatever he said you don’t have to worry because he doesn’t know and you are my life, my one and no matter how anyone may think i am not having a lap in judgement. i found my one and i’m walking through hellfire to have her. So my love, when we go back to that mountain i want you to go through those gates with me hand in hand and just be us. or however you want to do it, i am not ashamed and if just walking back together is what you wanted we can do that too because it doesn’t mean you aren’t in love, you have a right to be cautiousness if that will help you i will do that. so long as you are by my side.i am so happy i could dance naked through Erebor haha” he said and he smiled at her then stood up again “now put on your clothes so i can hold you properly Azyungal” he said with a chuckle and turned around “i’m not looking” he said and was smiling to himself with a chuckle.

'Amad?" came kili's voice as he was deeply slumped in the high backed tuffed chair in the vaulted event hall "yes my son" came her voice as she continued her conversation from the stairs just before them as she greeted Noble couples greeting the royal family

"Do we 'afte' stay up here ALL NIGH'!?" he said bored and brashly "SHHH kili cain't ye see she's busy!" fili admonished his little brother, fighting boredom himself. the day was busy from the start and being the older son he had to wrangle his sibling when his parents were busy doing more important things he soon enough would be helming.

"we could at least go dancin'" kili complained and fili laughed at that "with those backward honkers ye call feet? it would be an attack" he said with a smile as kili scooted back up in the chair, his hair already a tussle of waves his lightly fuzzed face scowled at him "oh!? i could dance ye under a table i bet!"

"BOYS" Vili gave a calm but stern as he twisted himself to stop them from amplifying their antics, attempting to keep a firm face but the slow growing smile of kili with his hereditary gapped teeth caused his stoic visage to crack "jus' be quiet at least" he said turning back in his good burgundy tunic and cape. it was a little frayed at the back, memories of fili and kili tugging and tagging along behind him as he carried out his duties as prince along side dis his beloved.

the entire mountain since he could remember was a bit strained and everyone pitched in. even fili and kili had jobs to help around. if it wasnt keeping the forges stocked with coal and wood for their uncle's wares in the human towns and home forges, it was replacing the elder minor's placements when shifting and ferrying the raw minerals in the mines, or even helping mend their clothes at the knee of their mother DIs when she would fall asleep at the end of a long day. everyone helped even in the lowest jobs, but on days like this, it made everything seem like it used to be, even if clothes were centuries out of fashion.

even the outfit fili wore tonight was a fine hand me down from his uncle frerin that was in a deep green color fitted with silver and gold studs and citrine cut facets along the neck and hems fitted with daimind shaped gold buttons and he was lucky it was well taken care of so he could wear it though they had to add some lacing strings down the sides to make it fit as it was getting a bit small. kili wore a decorative blue tunic with buffed silver studs and buttons with well cut sapphires decorated in a similar fashion from uncle thorin and his pants were part of his good leather outfit as he was afraid that thorin's old velvet pants would tear if he got too rowdy as he usually did.

"I think it's time that they go enjoy themselves, RESPECTFULY enjoy themselves" said Dis as she smiled at them as she waited for the last of the noble families stood in line to greet them all. thorin was finishing with a family and was saying his final words as she had this moment to address her sons "i'm sure there are some of your friends here, i don't think everyone stayed home. i even see some new Dwarrows around here." she said as she shifted in her good shoes a she insisted on wearing them one last time tonight.

"Thank you 'Amad!" said kili as he quickly ran off into the crowd and fili was going to fuss but he sighed and shook his head before he bowed to his mother and started down the steps into the crowd looking around for something interesting to head to.

Following the embers

Idunn looked around in what felt like a frantic manner. Her dress was pretty to look at but the fabric made her skin crawl, the dress was far as one could get in her opinion from practical, while also feeling as if it was suffocating her. Her family was somewhere around the gigantic room that was holding some sort of celebration that the adults had decided merited a ball. She couldn’t even remember what the specific occasion was; She had been distracted when they were prepared for it by the riddle Runa had asked her that she had been pondering.

She spotted her father off to one side talking with one of his friends, one that he had fought at Azanulbizar with, while Edain was farther down the hall looking slightly flushed from the obvious ribbing his friends were giving him. Glain and Tofferi, her One whom was courting her, were on what could only be described as the dance floor.

She had always hated these sorts of things. no one ever asked her to dance aside from Edain, knowing she loved to dance, and Tofferi, also knowing her love of dancing but also because he was kind. he also knew them getting along would make Glain very happy even if it wasn’t a hardship to him to dance with his One’s sister who was generally friendly with him.

Unlike most celebrations, this one was one typically held only for those that could be considered nobles, even if most of the nobility had to live and work just as hard as everyone else. Idunn and her family were only allowed because her Aunt Freyja had married Gloin who was distantly related to the king.

She hated the stuffiness and rules of talking of it all. it all felt fake which she hated more than anything else. how was she suppose to know if someone was being polite because they had to or because they actually liked her? She was almost certain at least half of these people were two-faced toward at least her if not Glain as well.

Her eyes landed on Princess Dis, a beautiful Dwarrowdam that Glain tried to subtly emulate in manners and tried to constantly teach Idunn to do the same, who was turned to talk to the two younger dwarrow at her side that could only be her sons. She had heard from Bodil that they were quite the pair of mischievous rascals thought other dwarrowdams had been giving them speculative looks as they grew older even though neither was yet of age for such things.

She always recoiled from such things but had not heard similar about them; while not one to judge, Idunn wondered if they reveled in the attention despite the general grossness of the implications of it. Despite that, She had never had the chance to meet them herself and she doubted they would care to meet her. She wasn’t anyone special; She was just a simple dwarrowdam that was raising a pony, a raven, and an owl. Just a dwarrowdam that knew what her Craft was and wanted to eventually have a shop of her own to share her passion with others.

~~

Runa had always gently said “you are kind and always offer help should it look like someone might need it even if it is a simple task. You go out of your way to help collect the herbs for Bodil, Oin, and I. You always buy an extra chunk of Erik’s favorite cheese that our ‘Amad can’t afford to get him and will spend your free time playing with him.”

Bodil had rather bluntly said ”Idunn, you make snap judgements based on seemingly innocuous things. if someone fails whatever test or judgement you make, you either ignore them as unimportant or uninteresting or if you decide they are a threat than you can lash out or snubbed them.” Idunn must have looked hurt by the assessment because Bodil continued “You have had a hard time. people have been cruel to you without you knowing why, You adapted to that to guard your heart and avoid wasting effort on those that won’t reciprocate.”

“Don’t dislike the part of you that knows you deserve niceness, Idunn.” Bodil urged giving her hand a gentle squeeze before adding “If someone is kind or treats you well, you would move mountains for them and set yourself alight to warm them. you also will listen to reason if your judgements are questioned and change your mind if the reason is sound. You also aren’t cruel about it all even if you don’t like someone, you are still kind or at least polite and only have lashed out when they hurt you first”

~~

The sounds around her feel loud and overwhelming. A loud woman’s laugh, one that rings false to her ears as if the one laughing is faking, fills the air even as the music played on instruments reaches a crescendo. She can tell her breathing is faster than what it should be. it was an unfortunate consequence of a run in late in the night with a crowd of older drunken dwarrows with a penchants for violent shoving games, something she had breathed not a word of especially when they had spoken so vilely toward her ‘Amad who was feeling ill again.

“Well i am glad ye’ feel better” he said relieved that she was calming, he knew of her anxiety especially after all that time on the quest he remembered that people staring was too much at times, and that was elves and humans in lake-town, but these were our people so he knew it was much more intense. though as idunn spoke about when he could come by he smiled

"alright i will keep that in mind an' I'll bring kili if he isn't busy with his studies" he said as his hands found his pockets. 'I know they were watchin' us so much...but it wouldn't be so bad to link arms.. or hold hands..' he though as he continued along watching the road and seeing some dwarrows dim their porch lights and locking up their shops, sparing a short glance and nod their head in their direction with a smile and some elder dwarrowdams giving a light percing of their lips at them together but quickly bowing and turning into their homes.

"geez ye would think there'd be mirth t' spare after dinner" he said pointing out some reactions "someone must be planning on gussying up their daughter" he laughed as he continued to walk moving a little closer to her to whisper it, but didnt move away after. as the breeze moved down the street he caught a whiff of her scent, the smell of iron and smoke, a little salt and leather and a scent he couldn't pinpoint but he saved it in his memory glad for any bit he could save; he was never sure of how she felt about him but he was just pleased at the friendship he was able to at least hold onto, no matter how light. but he was curious of if she didn't mind if he offered his arm, but he already knew the answer but it didnt hurt to ask

"so, it does feel a little odd to not offer an arm t' a lass as we're walkin' but do ye mind it or would ye rather no' " he asked cautiously "i kno' it's not yer style but i'd be rude not t' ask ye" he continued as he looked at her after he spoke watching her face to see if he was too forward or if she would accept. hopefully he would see something good.

He clasped his hand with hers as he pulled her to the table and with quick action he scooped her up round her waist and hoisted her onto the table before a pair of minors laced their fingers for foothold for him to step up and he smirked at her as he bowed and offered his hand to her and a number of coos and teasing were flying about like foot at a dinner and most about how handsome a couple they looked but he then stomped a beat and it was slower and strong and the musicians caught on and started playing a steady beat and every passing moment is grew into a faster beat and he started to spin with her loving the rush he felt in his chest, his eyes focused and locked with hers as he watched her beautiful fiery hair fly about her shoulders and frame her beautiful face, it was amazing and they were so in step spinning and stamping and drawing close and jumping, it was amazing and drenched in euphoria,

•

“Isn’t that prince fili?” Asked the tavern host’s daughter very excited as she was behind the counter a bright smile on her face and her father chuckled and patted her back with a calming motion “no you cannot go over there, it would be rude for that lass” he said and she whined"but anytime that dance is done, its two random dwarves, never a couple! So she’s some random maid!“ She said and he sighed at her “no they came in together, and I said no. And you will stay away from them and will not be serving them.” He said and she stormed off. He knew that something was going on with the prince, he was so happy and focused on the lass though the feel from her seemed shy but friendly, he wanted to pry for sure when they came back, he’d find out for his daughters sake at least if he were true to himself. Even if it wasn’t his business.

@idunnthedwarrowdam

The way she shined in the ring as she focused, laughing lightly yet never distracted made him smirk

‘Oh you’ve done it this time, jokin’ won’t work on her today’ he thought to himself as he watched her catch his momentary lapse as she jumped at the opportunity, arms strong in and attack that he knew the owner of but hoped he could Perry well enough but he settled for a grapple instead. Gripping her at the biceps and holding taught with his fingertips at the base of her shoulders with his coarse hands

“Oh i think no’ lass try again” he said with a smile as he moved his arms in a quick circle to the inside of her arms then pushing them wide and off in one quick motion as he backed away, if he stayed close she would have grabbed him again or smacked him with his arms open like that

“Yur are quicker than i remember! It won’t happen again tho. Well i hope haha” he said continuing the light banter, he knew he’d have a problem if she tapped into that fiery spirit of hers.

“Oh what is this brother!? Ya scared of a dwarrodam!” Goaded kíli as he hopped onto one of the stone levels of the ringside as he gave a highly amused laugh knowing full well he would do the same also drawing in a few dwarrows who had finished their matches to watch starting to climb up and watch with interest though they hadn’t started heckling just yet

“No, i jus’ know her an’ i’m adaptin’ thas all! Besides! I can’t loose!” Fíli teased with a wink to îdunn his bright smile flashing as he started circling the ring with a lightness to his feet anticipating the moment he could strike hoping he could evade enough to tire her out a little, they all forged, but this lass did it for a living and he wasn’t about to be hammered into submission just yet.

for the fighting starters "is something distracting you?" with Idunn 😆

He was knocked back a bit and he smirked at her “no nothing is distracting me, i just dont want to be responsible if you get hurt later haha” he said as he refflected another swipe of her ax and he slapped her arm down to the ground with an open palm and he moved back again.

They were sparring on the dirt in the training grounds outside, everyone else was packing up and leaving because they had finished their times and hed to head back home, but fili and idunn were continuing a bet that had been put on by kili and ori on the side. Ori was busy sketching them in some dynamic poses as they fought making idunn look as epic as she was fighting fili as she had gotten good hits on fili much to their surprise and kili was enjoying it imensly and egging on the two.

“ oh come on fili, dont let her beat you haha, and idunn you kick his arse haha!” Said kili and fili shouted at him “whos side are you on!?”

[uzbadyand]

After he was sure he had regained his chest’s stregnth he risked to glance back at her after he was continuing to laugh lightly blinking away the tears that had welled into his eyes as he looked at her still red but he was sure it was because of her snorting, he hadnt ever heard that before and honestly it was hilarious and so very cute, ‘as if she could get any cuter’ he thought as he started to crawl closer to her “oh mahal idunn, that snort nearly murdered me, theyd be carting you off as i would have been mummified here from laughter” he said his voice a bit hoarse and exhausted as he looked at her.

Their clothes had gotten absolutely messed from sleeping on the hey and then laughing in it effectivly making them quite dirty. “Oh mahal, we need to groom before we leave from here,... or i could just claim you jumped me haha” he said with a bright smile “i dont know what do you prefer? That we are piglets? Or you beat me up?” He joked as he started to stand and back away from her as he had just called her a piglet knowing she was clearly horrified that she snorted. But he wanted to continue to tease her, she was just so beautiful when flushed , he loved that.

“But i do believe they will be searching for me, i dont want you in any trouble, i know i already am in that by now. Im sure mother is a nervous wreck.” He said with a dissapointed sigh because he honestlycould soend the entire day with her.

He loved this and wished they could do this whenever there was a moment alone. He could smell her scent, the warm metalic smell of her skin, no doubt caused by her quick retreat and craft, but the way her hair smelled sweet and light against his nose he hummed and smiled as he studied the hair before him and the soft fuzzy cheek of hers so lovely and perfect. Bringing back the feeling of the fire in the quest they slept beside, and how it felt as though it were only them. He wished it was only them but he didnt know how in arda to figure out a way to just form the words. She was talented and though he was a prince she was his friend, dear friend and he feared she wouldnt want to deal with that. She was discreet and kept to herself and craft. Mahal wasnt she amazing. He only hoped that her injury didnt effect that but he kept the embrace. He wanted to savor this as long as he could before she woke but he couldnt help but ghost his lips along her hair, his nose buried into it gently so he wouldnt wake her and a light shift made him pull away just that much so he wouldnt be too caught. His hand he could explain away but the sniffing certainly could not have.

•

“No no, you were a perfect dwarf even in that state, not embarrassing At all” ori said quietly as he sat in a chair and smiled “though you should have seen the crowed you drew, it was something to see, you drank more than dwalin” he said with a chuckle and edain blushed a little with his hand rubbing his pink neck now “Mahal, remind me to not do that again, I don’t know what got over me” he said a little embarrassed but ori just sighed “competition and kili’s nudges of pride sums it up, he’s good for mischief” ori said as he shared a biscuit off his plate and put on some jam and butter “we have more in there if you’d like” he said and took a bite himself and edain smiled “I’ll see if I need more after, you’ve already brought so much were you sharing with me?” He asked with a pinch of hope in his voice and ori gave a shy smile “just a little, I’m sure Dori has some set aside in there. But I wanted to check on you” he said before he popped another piece into his mouth.

[uzbadyand]

When the creature hadn’t answered fili looked at kili and sighed with a ‘really?’ Look about him before his and kili’s hands reached into the bush before he held onto the person, geavier than what a hobbit would and the strong bicepts he wondered who stewed away but had a big guess of who it was. And the second the bright red headed lass came into view and a few leaves stuck out her hair he smirked as he sighed

“Oh lass. Weren’t you to be at home? Nursin’ you’r pony and makin’ your knives?” He teased her as he plucked leaves from her head and kili snickered as he crossed his arms “i saw ye back there at the inn, but didnt think you were comin’ here. What a sneaky lass” he said as he looked her over “what’re the others goin’ to think?” Kili continued as fili smirked a but as he looked at her

“Hmm. Well. Lass i wont make you go back. You have just as much right as us to try our luck but.. im almost certain tha’ they will make ye turn back.” He said as he ignored kili’s confused look but he grabed her and turned her around before the door and they could feel the absolute mischief about to unfold “i guess we will find out lass” he said finally and kili knocked on the door loudly as he smiled and they ignored any chance that she would ask for any explanation of why she was there. But he was curious. Maybe after they all settled down or the off chance the elders of the group would listen to her, he wanted to know.

When the door was begining to open they saw a little man in the doorway with a quite annoyed expression upon his face as he looked upon the three dwarves and a bit of shock at the clear dwarrowdam before them yet before he could greet them or more like turn them away the announced “fili” “and kili” “”at your service”” came them both and a nudge from kili to idunn they wanted her to introduce herself.

When they had gone upstairs they easily settled into the room that they had received. it was a smaller accommodation, possibly a hobbit room no doubt, the beds were smaller, roof was lower, and it was furnished simply but with obvious handed down worn quilts and a bundle of well dried flowers to freshen the room up a little to rid it of the stale scent, but other than that it was good fro the price and he looked about to make sure that they stayed safe so they could sleep well that night. while fili was securing the bedroom, kili was dividing up the food Dis had packed for them that morning and lit a fire in he small potbellied stove heater in the center of the room and he warmed up his hands a bit and looked around and stopped on fili.

“so what do you think this burglar will be like? i thought Nori was a sneaky enough dwarf, why do we need an outsider?’ he asked as fili shoved a chair under the doorknob and he answered with a simple “well, if we make it to the mountain and get in, when its time to find the arkenstone and if the dragon is alive, the idea is that maybe he wont recognize what he is and wont be readily eaten. or at least that’s what i understand..” he said and then plopped onto the bed and removed his boots while kili had already kicked off his shoes and was holding them up before the heater with a goofy smile on his face and fili couldn’t help but smile at him. “so basically if the journey doesn’t kill us then the dragon will?” he asked and fili laughed “yeah, but we have uncle with us, we can get through anything. not to mention we have Tharkun” fili said and picked through the remainder of the meet and cheese he had laying on his bed now.

“Think we’ll be on time?” kili asked as he laid back now chewing some meat as he was fiddling with the rune stone in his hands as he was just talking absentmindedly; something he often did when he was tired. “yeah, or at least we need to..we should sleep and get up early in the morning” he said and continued “finish your food and we’ll go to sleep” he said  resolutely as he finished stuffing his face and kili sat up and took the waxed paper he held the food on as he climbed into it and continued eating it before he balled it up and tossed it near his feet and sighed loudly and fili smirked “ could you be anymore annoying brother?” he asked him and kili laughed as he looked across the room at him “Maybe” he said and then got under his covers more and soon settled to bed and fili wondered what dangers they would get into. thorin had been preparing him but he knew he was still being vague about the horrors that could befall them but for now he would enjoy the nice bed in the pretty cozy room, because he knew from here on out it was most likely they would be sleeping on hard grounds and striving through the elements and he simply felt ready and excited for it.

[uzbadyand]

It seemed the more they talked to one another after all of the previous strife he had felt and fear that ore at his back like a fervent flame, seemed to all cease as she spoke of her father and his possible acceptance, but he hated that his rash actions may have cost them much trust in his feelings, but he knew he wouldn't have a hard time showing his love and he would never tire of fighting his family about this. though he was still nervous of how idunn would react when faced with his uncle Thorin. 

He knew how Thorin only wanted the best for him and though now he could provide it he was sure he was simply  living out his fantasies of how his life was to be but Fili knew exactly what was perfect and what was his best. Idunn was always his choice and even though he had to realize it through such dire events there was only one Dwarrowdam who held his life. but he focused back at his one with a pleased smirk as he held her and was brought back to the moment as he felt her warm palms, the chill of her fingertips bringing him out, but the sweet press of her tender lips brought a tinge of pink to his cheeks and he closed his eyes into the warm embrace as he pressed back and sighed softly before he lingered a bit longer and broke it with a nuzzle of his nose against hers to answer her gentle disapproval.

“feel free to smelt them down afterwards into a fine weapon of my love.” he said laughing lightly before he kissed her forehead tenderly and squeezed her again. “but you must wear it proudly at least twice i beg of you. or else i will look like a fool.” he said with a slight plead but he could care less if she threw it in the river after. “but the real gifts are simple but rich in value. the perfect combination for  you. and exactly why you complete me. if i am to be king one day, i know i need you by my side. to ground me and be that sturdy support. i need a lass who inst afraid of work, and inst an obnoxious priss... a friend and lover. and you will be accepted. it will just take longer than either of us want, and i’m sure it is the same for me. but i trust we will prevail...but first lets get you dry and we should walk back into the mountain arm in arm. i am not afraid.”

he said and then gave a light scoff. “oh no, i’m as long winded as my uncle.” he said and caressed her hair tenderly before he ran his fingers over the courtship bead “i love you” he said with a smile before he sighed and started to stand up now and offered her a hand as he stood now far more relaxed in his shoulders.

When Fili took that time to try and enjoy the ride but the anxiety of just thinking of that dragon under the water reminded him of a story Thorin told him about when he was suffering dragon sickness. standing in the middle of that golden floor feeling like he was sinking and smaug was underneath it and he feared that any moment the dragon would swoop down and breathe fire or even burst out of the water when he was near the shores again- ’relax fili,everything is okay…its dead.. the nly thing that is real and alive there is her…idunn’ he thought as he opened his eyes again and sighed blinking a bit his eyes as he got closer and closer to the lake and as it seemed to grow before his eyes locked on her soaked red hair beautiful like oxidizing copper in the sun and he smiled as he hopped off his pony slowly walked up behind her not missing the cheeky fact that she was indeed in her undergarments and he saw how beautiful her frame was and her focus allowing his big feet to sneak up behind her and he couldn’t help but feel peace when she was anywhere around and he just let out a long sigh and could see her jump lightly, probably recognizing his voice

“so is this what you do when things get bad? you run away and i find you wet and half naked, i guess it could be worse haha” he teased her with a laugh as he came closer to her and leaned over before he kissed her head gently and didn’t pry on the front of her he wanted to wait, he wanted to marry her before he found out her body it was a blessing and he wanted to wait more than ever. “whatever he said you don’t have to worry because he doesn’t know and you are my life, my one and no matter how anyone may think i am not having a lap in judgement. i found my one and i’m walking through hellfire to have her. So my love, when we go back to that mountain i want you to go through those gates with me hand in hand and just be us. or however you want to do it, i am not ashamed and if just walking back together is what you wanted we can do that too because it doesn’t mean you aren’t in love, you have a right to be cautiousness if that will help you i will do that. so long as you are by my side.i am so happy i could dance naked through Erebor haha” he said and he smiled at her then stood up again “now put on your clothes so i can hold you properly Azyungal” he said with a chuckle and turned around “i’m not looking” he said and was smiling to himself with a chuckle.

for the fighting starters "is something distracting you?" with Idunn 😆

He was knocked back a bit and he smirked at her “no nothing is distracting me, i just dont want to be responsible if you get hurt later haha” he said as he refflected another swipe of her ax and he slapped her arm down to the ground with an open palm and he moved back again.

They were sparring on the dirt in the training grounds outside, everyone else was packing up and leaving because they had finished their times and hed to head back home, but fili and idunn were continuing a bet that had been put on by kili and ori on the side. Ori was busy sketching them in some dynamic poses as they fought making idunn look as epic as she was fighting fili as she had gotten good hits on fili much to their surprise and kili was enjoying it imensly and egging on the two.

“ oh come on fili, dont let her beat you haha, and idunn you kick his arse haha!” Said kili and fili shouted at him “whos side are you on!?”
