Oh, look at that! Another Chapter! 2 chapters on one day, this is one good day! I am really sorry, but, I, idk, I just had to update this. I was tying away today and so far so good:) I couldn't let it wait.

I may or may not have written a fight between Fili and Legolas into it. I'm sorry! It had to happen! It's a dumb fight as well, but alright. Nevermind it, just enjoy it!

Thorin turned back to Thranduil as his company followed the guard to the guest rooms. He shot an angry and deadly glance at Thranduil, but the elven king didn't take any note of it.

'So, Thorin Oakenshield. It's been a long time since I've seen your face.' Thranduil started, getting up again. 'It could have been longer, if it wasn't for those spiders.' Thorin muttered. 'May I ask what you are doing in my lands?' Thranduil continued, ignoring Thorin's comment. 'I want back what belongs to me.' Thorin simply stated, not moving a single muscle. Thranduil got the hint and started slowly pacing around.

'Erebor. You are on your way to the Lonely Mountains. After all those years.' Thorin looked up at Thranduil, not saying a word. 'A quest, to reclaim a homeland. Impossible, yet possible.' Thranduil said. 'What's that supposed to mean?' Thorin snapped. 'Your quest will not only bring you to your destination, but also your end. A quest to not only reclaim Erebor, but to slay a dragon as well.' Thranduil answered.

'We can do this. I can do that.' Thorin hissed. 'I am not saying you can't. I am simply stating it is going to be a difficult task and might take the lives of some of your company.' Thorin looked up: 'What are you trying to say?' Thorin asked. 'The boy. Your nephew. He has never been to Erebor nor seen it. What do you think will happen when he faces Smaug?' Thranduil asked. 'Do not talk about Kili like that, elven king! My nephew is capable of more than you think! Do not speak false words on him!' Thorin exclaimed. 'Than I will ask you to do the same! You spoke of my youngest kin as worthless. I will not accept that, dwarf! I will not allow you or any other to call my son worthless. Not today, not tomorrow, never.' Thranduil snapped, making his point clear.

Thorin said nothing. Thranduil was right. Right for once in his miserable life.

'My son saved your life. Saved it, I tell you. He found your life worthy enough to keep going. He did not find you worthless enough to just be killed. In fact, Filian did not find you worthless at all! He did not do anything to you or your any of your kin.' Thranduil said, looking at Thorin. 'May you never call my nephew weak and I will not lay false accusations on your son again.' Thorin finally said, after not saying a word for quite a while.

'May it be that way, king under the mountain. I will hope your quest will succeed. Though I know there a high chances you will not survive.' Thranduil said. 'I will take the risk.' Thorin muttered. Thranduil nodded with his head: 'I know you will. And I'll hope you will be able to enjoy your homeland.' 'Do not speak as if I am going to die on the fields of Erebor.' Thorin snapped.

'The beauty of nature and mankind can be strong. It can destroy you. There are going to be traps, there are going to be unexpected, guests, I would say. I will not speak of you as if you are going to die, but I will not speak as if you will stay alive as well. I am not sure if you will.' Thranduil told Thorin. Thorin looked down and up again: 'Erebor and the Lonely Mountains have always belonged to me and I have the rights to fight for it. And if I die, than may it be that way. At least my people, who had to suffer from the fire and ash of Smaug, are able to live on own grounds again.'

Thranduil made a small nod with his head: 'And I understand that. For these coming days, for the sake of everyone, I will forget our differences and threat you like every other guest. But let me be clear, I will tolerate you yelling or threatening my boys. You may go.'

Thorin looked away for a second, looked back and said: 'Than I will do the same. But once I am out of your kingdom, I will not.' 'I know.' Thranduil answered and gestured to his guards. They ran up to them and Thranduil said: 'Take him to the other dwarves. We are done.' The guards nodded and showed Thorin the way out. Thorin was not letting the elves grab him and refused to look at them.

Fili had ran all around the Halls of Thranduil and raced back to the dwarves.

Kili's head snapped up as he heard someone coming up to them. He saw Fili running around a corner, towards them. He grinned and jumped up.

'Prince Filian? I thought you were being chased by prince Legolas.' Ori said, confused. 'Still am. But he is getting tired and so am I.' Fili answered and wanted to sit down. He couldn't though, Legolas came stamping to him: 'I need to have a word with you, muindor!' Fili grinned nervously and wanted to run further. Legolas was faster and grabbed his arm. The dwarves backed away a bit, seeing Legolas' face.

Kili stayed close though, wanting to see what was going to happen. The other dwarves were grinning, seeing two princes argue wasn't something they saw every day.

Am man agoreg?! Ci ben-ind?!' Legolas exclaimed, into Fili's face. 'Hey! Avo bedo, you asked for it! Literally!' Fili snapped back. ' I asked you something completely different!' Legolas exclaimed. 'Avo vuio, muindor! Raitho an glass, she said things that should make it all better!' Fili ,almost ,yelled back. 'Yeah, so? The way you asked it, make it completely obvious! You embarrassed me!' Legolas now yelled. 'I do not see what's the problem here, Legolas! You got your answer, an answer you should be happy with, Savo hen.' Fili was now getting mad and crossed his arms. 'If things are going to get awkward between me and her, than I will blame you!' Legolas snapped. 'Blame me?! You're the one who asked me to do all your dirty work!' Fili yelled. 'Yeah! After I saved your ass multiple times!' Legolas yelled back.

The grins had disappeared from the dwarves' faces. This wasn't a funny argument anymore, they were fighting. Really fighting.

Kili watched as Fili got angrier by the second. He gulped, did they always fight like this? That can't be right, they always seem so close! He turned to Balin, who had eyes as big as a teacup. 'What's going on?' a voice asked and the dwarves turned around.

'Uncle, you're here!' Kili said happy, turning away from the fighting brothers, who ignored the dwarves completely at that point.

'Indeed I am. I will tell you about the talk later. What's going on?' Thorin asked, laying his hand on Kili's shoulder. 'The princes have gotten into a fight about something none of us understands.' Dwalin muttered, eyeing the brothers. Thorin sighed: 'If this continues, Thranduil will not be happy any longer.' 'Is he happy now, then?' Dori asked. 'He is at least not as angry as he was before.' Thorin said, looking confused as hell as the brothers were almost at the point of hitting each other. 'Alright, I think we need to make this stop now. This is getting out of control.' Balin spoke up and as he wanted to walk closer, Thranduil suddenly appeared.

Legolas and Fili were almost at the point of ripping each other's throat out when Thranduil stomped over to them: 'Boys! Enough with the screams!' Legolas and Fili didn't seem to hear him and Thranduil ripped them apart.

'I said enough! What is going on with you two?' Thranduil exclaimed, keeping the brother away from each other.

'Fili has ruined everything for me!' Legolas yelled. 'Ruined?! She likes you! What is there to be ruined?' Fili yelled back. 'More than your small brains can understand!' Legolas yelled back. 'She said she likes you! You like her! What's not good about that?' Fili yelled.

'ENOUGH! I WILL NOT HEAR A WORD FROM BOTH OF YOU!' Thranduil yelled, making the brothers stop. 'What triggered this ridiculous fight?' Thranduil asked, angry. He looked at Fili and Fili answered: 'Legolas asked me to ask Tauriel if she likes him. So, I-'I asked you to check what she thought of me.' Legolas cut off his brother. Thranduil shot him a glance and Fili continued: 'That's the same, brother. Anyway, I went over to her, asked her what she thinks of Legolas, asked her if she liked him or not, and I only got positive feedback out of it! I really do not see the problem here!'

'Legolas, were you really angry at your brother for just that? It is only good, as far as I'm hearing.' Thranduil turned to Legolas. 'That is not the problem, Ada. Because he asked her specifically if she liked me, means things are going to get awkward. She now knows I like her and I'm not sure if she feels the same towards me! Positive feedback doesn't mean she feels the same about me.' Legolas answered. Thranduil sighed: 'Unbelievable. Getting into a fight about such a small and unimportant thing. And it's only for the better, Legolas.'

Fili looked up: 'Unimportant thing? Ada, she might be your potential new kin!' Legolas choked: 'What?!' 'Yeah! Legolas, she likes you! A lot! I could hear it in her voice! Things are really not going to get awkward! I promise! And if it does, than I will take the blame, alright? Besides, every she-elf likes you.' Legolas grinned: 'That's true.' 'Hey, you're supposed to back me up on that one.' Fili grinned. 'I am sorry for yelling and almost ripping your arms out, Fili. I am so sorry.' Legolas apologized. 'I am sorry too, brother. How did we end up fighting over a misunderstanding? I am sorry for almost killing you.' Fili said. 'Are we good?' Legolas reached out his hand. 'We're good.' Fili took it and Legolas pulled him into a hug.

Thranduil sighed in relief: 'If I ever catch you fighting like this, ever again, I will not hesitate and punish you bad. Because this is not how it works here. Do you understand that? Legolas? Filian?' The two nodded. 'Good. Now, try to do something useful now or go and help out in the kitchen.' 'We'll try to do something useful, Ada. Sorry for disrupting your peace and quiet.' Legolas. Thranduil gave them a smile and said: 'It is forgiven, henigs.' With that, Thranduil turned around and continued his walk.

Fili and Legolas turned around and fell back a bit when they realized the dwarves were still there. 'Interesting.' Nori said, after a long silence . The brothers laughed. 'Yeah, sorry about that. It was not supposed to happen.' Fili said. 'It was scary though, seeing you fight like that.' Ori said. 'Does that happen more often?' Balin asked. 'Not occasionally, no, but there were more times were we fought like this.' Legolas sighed.

'Thorin.' Fili suddenly said and made a small bow for the king of dwarves. Legolas quickly did the same. Thorin made a bow himself as well: 'Thank you for letting us stay.' Fili and Legolas straightened themselves and Legolas said: 'It was small effort. Please forgive our rudeness from earlier.' Fili nodded eagerly along: 'We apologize for everything we did.' 'But especially me. Fili merely helped you.' Legolas said. Balin looked at Thorin, as did Kili. Thorin took a deep breath and said: 'It is forgiven. We will not talk about it again.' 'And we thank you for that.' Fili said and sighed in relief.

Kili heard birds and started looking around him again. He found the place rather interesting. It was something different. In a good way of course.

Fili noticed and said: 'Beautiful, isn't it? There is more to see, you know? I can show you around if you want to. Means I have something useful to do.' Kili's face lighted up and he nodded: 'I'd actually think I would like that!' 'Kili.' Thorin warned. Kili sighed and turned to him: 'Uncle, I want this. Let me do it, please?' 'Thorin, leave the boy. He's old enough to make his own decisions now.' Balin said. 'But not old enough to make wise decisions.'

'Master Oakenshield, if I may, I will not harm your kin, if that's what you think. I will only show him around.' Fili spoke up. Thorin looked up at Fili, than at Balin, back to Kili and sighed. He groaned and said: 'Fine, you may go. Bring him back in one piece.' 'I'm not so sure about that.' Legolas muttered and Fili punched his arm: 'Of course, master Oakenshield. Nothing will happen. Believe the words of a prince.' He turned to Kili and said: 'Shall we go then?' Kili nodded and turned to Thorin: 'I'll see you later, uncle.' Fili than walked away and Kili rushed after him and joined him.

Legolas turned to the dwarves, who were staring at him. He rubbed his arm nervously and asked: 'Is there something I could help you with?' 'Well, yes. If you could show us around as well, that would be nice.' Dwalin said. Legolas sighed: 'As you wish. Than we will go into the other direction. If you can follow me.' He wrestled himself through the dwarves and walked into the opposite direction as his brother.

'And here is the most beautiful part of these Halls.' Fili said proudly. He walked into a big garden, flowers everywhere. Kili looked at them: 'This is indeed very beautiful. So many flowers! You can barely see anything. Don't you need to cut away some of them?' 'Never.' Fili muttered. Kili looked up.

Fili looked at one flower: 'This garden belonged to my mother. She passed away a couple of years ago. This is hers and it will not change.' Kili closed his eyes. Stupid, Kili. Stupid move. 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean-'I know. You couldn't know about it. It's fine.' Fili said and sat down on the bench in the middle of the garden.

Kili climbed next to him and said: 'You miss her a lot, don't you?' Fili stared ahead of him and Kili could swear he saw a tear. 'Yeah, yes, I do. An awful lot. Every single day is hard without having her around.' Fili said and looked back at Kili. Kili sighed and it was silent for a while. 'I lost my father on a battlefield when I was four.' Kili said. Fili turned to him: 'You did?' he asked in a bit of a shock. Kili nodded and looked away. Fili could see it was hard for him to talk about it. 'It's fine. You don't have to talk about it, I don't blame you. It's hard, talking about someone you lost. Especially the ones who mean the most to you.' Fili sighed and looked at the ground. 'True.' Kili nodded and looked up at the sky.

'Hey, let's think of something cheerful. I shall show you my training field. I see you also have a bow and arrow?' Fili said, swallowing away the heavy thoughts. Kili wiped away a single tear and nodded: 'That would be awesome.' Fili smiled and lightly shoved Kili: 'Aren't we being two sad babies. Come on, I think you will love it.'
