You look up to see the huge half moon and bright stars that fill the sky, you smile in awe. The cool air did you good, you don't feel as queasy as before and you cross your arms trying to warm up. You heard heavy, slow footsteps behind you and you're hoping it's not who you think it is and yet at the same time…you do./p

Thorin's gaze went from your eyes straight to your cleavage for a second and he quickly turned his head and looked away. With no huge tankard near your chest, your cleavage was right out there. He cleared his throat before looking at you in the eyes again./p

Who was he to determine what was too much for you? You stood in awkward silence not knowing what else to say, and Thorin looking at you wasn't helping. The cool air wasn't so nice anymore and you began to shiver a little./p

He slowly took his coat off and placed it over your shoulders. You stood frozen in place not knowing what to do. "Thank you." You said stunned looking in his eyes. He looked right back into yours unintentionally licking his bottom lip. He let go of your shoulders and walked to the railing. You touched the soft fur on his coat, it was warm from him wearing it all night. You smiled as you walked towards him. Both of his hands were on the cold stone railing, he was silently looking at the starry sky. Under the influence of alcohol, you initiated conversation with the prince, something you'd never do while sober. You wanted to prove that you weren't scared of him...or at least make him believe that you weren't./p

You whispered. /p
