Fíli restrained a giggle. He was playing hide and seek with his father, Jolí. He had hidden himself on the plank behind the coats and above the boots. He was behind his father's coat.

Jolí was beginning to panic. He just couldn't find Fíli. He had looked in the bookshelf, behind the chair, in all the chests, in and under the beds. All the possible places he could think of, and no Fíli. The doors were locked so he couldn't be outside. Neither could he be in his and Dís' bedchamber because he couldn't reach the handle. For his sanity he also looked in the most impossible places.

"I give up Fíli! You win!" he called out, hoping it would work..

Fíli softly snickered. His dad couldn't find him! And he wouldn't. He also would not show where he had hid himself because he wanted to keep this place if he needed to hide. "Fíli, if you come out you'll get a cookie! I promise"

Fíli pondered, maybe his dad would go on offering treats and he would come out at the best offer.

Jolí sighed and pinched his nose between his thumb and wise finger. Fíli did not respond. "Dís would kill him if Fíli was lost!

" alright, four cookies and it's my final cookie offer!" he yelled.

Final cookie? So he would go on in sweeter sweets! Fíli stayed still and silent, hoping on rock candy. "A pastry?" he heard his father ask. "Fíli.. Come out or I'll tell your mum that you snuck some rock candy to bed!"

Fíli paled, his father knew!? He immediately hopped of the plank only to fall flat on his face. Sitting up and drawing his chubby hands to his face he cried.

His heart sunk with relief and dread when he heard Fíli crying. He ran to the source and found Fíli clutching his nose. He swept his son up and walked to the living room, sitting down in a chair. "My Golden Lion Cub" he began "what happened?"

Fíli opened his mouth and talked. "I wasj hidin fwom you when I dumped of an I fell on by bose" he wailed.

Jolí chuckled slightly. "let me see" he said while taking Fíli's little hands of his nose. A little blood poured from a nose hole. He stood up and grabbed a cloth from the table and gently set it to his son's nose.

" where were you hiding?" he asked the little boy.

"bot telling you" said the little blonde dwarfling. Jolí chuckled. "okay" he simply said.

" sing be a song" he said to his father. Jolí obliged and began humming a song with long forgotten words.

As Dís entered her home, she was met by silence. She hurried to the living quarters after pulling her boots of. She was invited by far the most adorable sight ever. Fíli and Jolí, both fast asleep and a bowl of rock candy on Jolí's lap. Their mouths hung slightly agape and Jolí snored a little. She smiled and went to prepare dinner. She'd wake them when it was finished.
