Tauriel eyed the bright-eyed dwarf suspiciously. "You want to WHAT?" She asked in disbelief. He sighed, rolling his eyes. "Have a pick-up line contest. Where I ask you to be my One in the stupidest way." Tauriel nodded, still a bit confused. "I'll go first. Do you believe in love at first sight or should you walk by again?" He watched her carefully for a minute. She seemed to be confused, and then a minute later, she laughed, her smile brightening her face and the sound of tinkling bells ringing in the air. "I must be a snowflake, because I have fallen for you." She said solemnly, and Kili laughed. "Are all Elves… Well… So dainty? A snowflake, really?" Tauriel raised her eyebrows.

"Dainty? I could kill you in a second if it were not for your good looks." She said. "That's a terrible one." He responded cheekily. "I-I… That wasn't a..." She stammered out, but then covered her face in defeat, helpless against the blush rising from her cheeks. "Oh." Kili said, and then turned away. Tauriel started to walk to the next cell, breathing steadily in an effort to calm herself. She was about to take another step when a rather quiet voice called out to her. "Wait, do you have a bandage? I just scraped my knee falling for you." Surprised, she whirled around to face him. He grinned.

"Oh, my." She sighed, and sat down on the steps next to his cell. This was going to be a rather interesting night.

And that was how Legolas found them, exchanging the WORST pick-up lines you could think of.
