The whole Hobbit hole went silent as the knocks sounded. Gandalf rose from the kitchen, cutting through the parlor to the door. Jessamine got up leaving Fili eyeing his feet, wishing he could have been more to the point with his questions. "Gandalf..." A strong voice sounded from outside, "I thought you said this place would be easy to find. I lost my way twice, wouldn't have found it all if it hadn't have been for that mark on the door." He unclipped his cloak and threw it at Jessamine. She caught it out of reflex, but her temper was beginning to flare, "I am no coat hanger!" She snarled to herself, setting the cloak aside, and crossing her arms. Gandalf clapped a hand on the dwarf's back, "Bilbo Baggins, allow me introduce you to the leader of our company, Thorin Oakenshield." The dwarf gave a horrid smirk and crossed his arms, "so this is the hobbit." Jessamine watched, as Thorin circled around Bilbo, his demeaning eyes carving the hobbit down to size. "I thought so," he chuckled, "he looks more like a grocer than a burglar."

Thorin was heading with the rest of the dwarves toward the dining room when Gandalf and Jessamine locked eyes, she shot him an irritated look. "Ah wait," he coughed, "I have decided to add one last member to the company, I feel she will provide advantages for us near the end of our journey." Thorin looked around puzzled, "she?" Jessamine rolled her eyes, stepping into the hall. His smoldering blue eyes locked onto hers. He chuckled a good long while. "Gandalf, surely you jest, this woman will be of no more value than any other in her sex." The other dwarves began to snigger. Jessamine crossed her arms up under her large breasts...

Kili stifled a laugh a ribbed Fili fiercely, "Oi, what a buxom lass you've set your mind to! She'll be more than a handful when the time comes!" Fili gave his brother a knowing look, but said nothing.

Stepping closer to Thorin she looked down upon him, using the two inch advantage that she had. "What do you find more intimidating about me master dwarf? The fact that I am a woman who can fight, or the fact that I could replace one of your dwarves in their use?" He narrowed his eyes as a silence washed over the group. She continued, "My sex has every capability and will of strength that yours has, we are merely smarter, and because of that we can afford the luxury of not having to resort to such antics..." Her nose wriggled as she smirked, she had him right where she wanted him, madly befuddled. And with that she walked off toward the dining room.

Thorin was furious, his broad shoulders heaving up and down, going red in the face. The other dwarves were beginning to head toward the dining room, only Fili and Kili staying behind with Thorin and Gandalf. His eyes shot over to the contemplating wizard, "Gandalf", he spat, "I will not have that harpy in this company! Get rid of her now!" Gandalf gave him a soft smile, "she means well Thorin, but she is not any mere woman to be trifled with. She is a skilled swordsman from Laketown and-" "I don't give a damn! My men are twice as good as any she-devil!" Thorin interrupted." Gandalf gave him a stern look and continued, "and her ancestors fought along side you the day Smaug invaded Erebor. Her family resided in Dale and almost all were killed that day, save for her mother." Thorin took a deep breath, something in him began to soften slightly. "Alright, she can come, but I will not slow our haste, nor will I accommodate for any of her shortcomings. If she dies, it will be her own doing." Gandalf chuckled, and they walked into the dining room. Fili and Kili still remaining in place.

"Kili...there's something I'd like you to help me with." Fili wrapped his arm around his brother's shoulder. "Yes of course! Anything!" Fili leaned in, "Kili, I need you to help me find out more about this girl. She resembles Caltria so closely that I must find out if that girl is her or not." Kili nodded curtly, giving his brother's arm a squeeze. "I'm with you all the way." And with that they made their way to the dining room.

Plans were already underway, Thorin was discussing a map, with Bilbo over one shoulder, Jessamine leering over his other. "Our goal is to take back Erebor", Thorin dragged his finger across the map. Jessamine smiled, "so that's why you wanted me." Before she could shoot off another jeer at him Thorin looked over at the white-haired, and oldest dwarf, "Balin give them the contract". The dwarf rose and handed Bilbo and Jessamine their contract. She quickly and silently read it over and signed without hesitation. Then to drive her message home, she gently slid the neatly folded contract into Thorin's hand. "You can keep your gold, I won't be needing any of it." She rubbed his shoulder playfully, before leaving the room, her nose wrinkling with a childish smile. "I'm off to bed, see you all in the morning." Fili and Kili watched her walk off down the hall, her hips swiveling all along. Kili sniggered, "she's got you on your toes uncle". Thorin shot the boyish dwarf a warning glare. "That woman thrives on spiting me..." He rubbed his forehead.
