Chapter
Fili's prediction had been proved to be true. Honeysuckle and Jaybird where hiding behind a cupboard, giggling like children. Fili smiled then stood between them and the cook, talking soothingly, "Hey, how many scones did they take? 10 each? That is 1 batch of scones. You should be proud, they made a quick meal of it."
The cook was not impressed, giving him a fierce glare, "I don't care, they take time and money to make."
Fili shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest, returning the glare, "And how would your lord Thorin take it if he knew that you where disrespecting his daughter, cousin, and Nephew?"
The cook mellowed almost instantly, "Of course, I could just make another batch..." The cook apologized genuinely, "I have been fairly stressed out, forgive me." He bowed then walked back into the kitchen area.
After the cook left Jaybird and Honeysuckle came out from behind the cupboard they both grinned at Fili, not denying their wickedness. Fili shook his head and smiled, "You make that poor man's life so difficult."
Moonbeam came in with an apron tied around her, walking in there smiling, "I am going to help the Cook, he needs it. You three go have fun, I will catch up later."
Fili grinned at Moonbeam and said, "How much helping?"
Moonbeam grinned back, "Enough to replace the scones that Honeysuckle and Jaybird absconded with."
Jaybird grinned and said, "Catch up soon then! We are sitting in on a couple of Honeysuckles suitors."
Moonbeam nodded then smiled again, "I will be with all of you as soon as I can." She walked back into the kitchen, her fingers tying the straps of the apron behind her back.
Fili looked back at Jaybird and Honeysuckle, "We are going to be late..." He grabbed Honeysuckle's hand and Jaybird followed them. Fili always made sure that his little cousin made a good impression, it would help find honer honorable young dwarf men.
Honeysuckle was obviously bored with the young dwarf man that was visiting with her. He was droaning on and on about politics and what he would change about Thorin's ruling. Despite the fact that Thorin had successfully ruled for over 25 years.
Moonbeam came in and sat by Honeysuckle, giving the boy a condescending expression, the boy ignored her and coninued to droan on and on.
Honeysuckle snapped at the boy, "If I hear one more thing about my fathers ruling abilitys come out of your mouth you can consider this over."
The boy ignored her and continued, so Fili got up, grabbed the boy by the back of the neck, and promptly chucked him out the door. The next suitor came in timidly and sat down.
This boy was different, he seemed to not know what to say or even understand why he was attempting this. This meeting went well, and it was a blessing to the three chaperones that by the end of it, Honeysuckle made a very good friend.
Maybe Honeysuckle didn't gain a suitor, a courter, but she certainly made friends with him. The boy came because his father wanted him to, and he was glad to not be accepted in a romantical way by her.
Fili rubbed his hands over his face, "Can we be done now?"
Honeysuckle sighed and rubbed her arms, "Sure. I am ready for dinner and bed...doing all of this is sort of depressing."
Fili grinned, "I am almost in my 40s! Young in dwarf years, I am sure you will survive..and you know my uncle, or your father, was closer to his 70s."
Honeysuckle grinned at her cousin, "Doesn't stop me from thinking about marrying young."
Moonbeam smiled at Honeysuckle, "It is better to wait until you are a bit older, you will be much much wiser then when you started having suitors arrive at your door."
Jaybird smiled a little, "Take her advice, its good."
There was obviously more to Jaybird then what would meet the eye.
