The pull of the nights sleep began to wane in strength, slowly pulling Thorin from his slumber. His senses slowly grew stronger the more alert he became. He felt the warmth and softness of the mattress beneath him. The heavy bedding covers had been drawn up to his waist. Thorin shifted sleepily in the bed, finding his right arm weighted against the bed. He opened his eyes and turned his head toward the weight. Thorin found himself greeted by numerous plaits against his arm. Several untwined stands lay across the bare skin of his partner. The soft features of her face were soothed by sleeps hold. Her small body lay in his arm, pressed against his body. Thorin reached with his right hand, brushing several plaits from her face. Her skin was cool from the morning air. He drew the bedding up over her shoulders.

Bright forest eyes fluttered open and fell upon him. She smiled tiredly. "Quel amrun."

"Good morning." Thorin whispered. He gently traced his fingers along the curve of her spine.

"Do you always rise so early?" Vali questioned.

A small smile formed on Thorin's face. "Only when there is something to wake beside."

Vali closed her eyes and laughed lightly. She tried to give Thorin a playful strike, but her body was still lingering in sleep, and could only nudge him. Thorin chuckled and pulled her closer. If he were to wake as this each day for the rest of his days, he would gladly rise early for the sight that awaited him.
