Lassie!

Isis stayed at the forge, she still need to finish and deliver her order. Ra had left and was back at Bag End. Bilbo and Ra were setting out food when a knock came to the door.

"You're the Master of Bag End." Ra said jesturing to the door.

Bilbo nodded and went to answer the door. A tall Dwarf stood on the other side, axes strapped to his back and head tattooed.

"Dwalin, at your service." He said.

Bilbo opened the door wider, "Bilbo Baggins at yours."

The dwarf was waved in. He followed Bilbo to the dining room, stopping in surprise when he caught sight of Ra. He pulled the younger into a hug.

"Lass, you 're a sight for sore eyes." he said, gently rubbing his forehead to hers.

"Master Dwalin, am glad to see you again." Ra returned the words.

She had him seated and Bilbo went to answer the door.

"Balin, at your service." the older dwarf said.

"Bilbo Baggins at yours." Bilbo said and waved him in.

Balin followed him to the dining room, greeting his brother with a knocked head and blinked in shock at Ra. The girl just smiled and lightly tapped his head with hers.

"It's good to see you Balin." She said with a soft smile and got him tea.

The next nock brought her Mate Fili and his brother Kili, who she greeted with a kiss for each.

The last knock brought Ori, Nori, Dori, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Gloin, and Oin. Ending the Dwarf lineup was Gandalf the Grey. Ra left him for Isis. She greeted the Ri brothers warmly, looking warningly at Nori; tapping her head lightly to the Ur brothers and cousin, grasped arms with Gloin and dropping into a bow at Oin. Tea was served. Ra told them they'll eat soon.

Isis begged off a room from Old Took, her stomach to full. The younger cousins tried to convince her to no anvil, she just smiled and reminded them of the guest due at Bag End. Old Took gave her Marie, a bay pony. Aunty Poppy packed one of the fur blankets into the saddle bag. With final good-byes, Isis left Took Hill. The food she had consumed settled uneasy in her stomach. Isis knew she would be sick.

Marie carried as far as across the Brandywine before Isis stopped the movements and climbed off the pony. Marie nickered and moved to one side while Isis dry heaved behind one of the trees. With heavy breaths she walked to the water's edge to rinse out her mouth.

Sitting back on her knees, Isis sighed as curses ran through her head. She glared at the clouded sky for a moment daring the clouds to spill the water trapped in them. She got up, slightly lightheaded and looked around.

There was a flash of light above, Marie gave a skittish whine. Isis moved quickly to the pony, soothing the youngling.

"Come on, let's get to Bag End. The storms coming." Isis whispered, she shot another glare to the sky and mounted the pony.

Marie set off with a soft command from her rider. The rain was coming, Isis' cloaks crawl had come off, her auburn hair turning black from the wetness. The pony soon lost her nervousness at the storm and lightly trotted to the only stable in Hobbition. Isis rolled her eyes, but let loose her hair from the leather throng holding it back.

The pony and rider got to the stable, Isis soaked through. She found she did not care much for the wet clothing that clung to her frame like damp paper. The smith dried the pony off and put away the tack, taking care of the leather items. Once Marie had her oats and a blanket for the cold storm winds, Isis made her way to Bag End.

[Quiet, sleepy. The rain has come. A gentle pitter patter on the roofs, creating puddles along the road. Think not of the wind that blows through field, but rather the vibrant colors of flowers as they bloom. Oh yes, Mother is rejoicing, her husband once more in her arms. Tonight she sheds these tears as he embraces her from the heart.] Isis sang as she made her way.

Bag End's windows glowed with a soft light, Isis could see her sister sitting by the window, watching for a sign of her. Isis grinned and took off at a run, suddenly eager to be by Ra's side.

Ra rested her head against the window, the Dwarves of the Blue Mountain all rowdy around her. Fili stood behind her, worried for his One. They had eaten and Ra told the Dwarfs how she came to be here, she didn't say anything about Isis. Bilbo had asked why when the others had drifted to eat, Ra told him she wanted to see their reaction to her arrival. Thorin had come. Surprising Gandalf, the Exiled King had hugged Ra and spoke quietly about her sister. Ra only gave him a smile.

Now she sat and waited for her sister's shadow. Ra knew Isis both loved the rain and hated it, and she grew worried as the rain continued. Bilbo watched his niece, wondering about the other. The door opened, Bilbo leaned out of the doorway to the dining room, a smile filling his worried features.

Isis hanged her cloak on the rack, looking over at her uncle with a bright smile. Isis skipped over to him, wet hair hitting her exposed shoulder, "Sorry am late Uncle, Took's filled me a bit too much and the younger ones wouldn't let go."

"It's your sister am worried for." Bilbo said.

Isis looked over at the only female and saw the blond dwarf behind her. Something in his gaze made Isis instantly on alert, she made her way to Ra; the others falling quiet. The wet girl dropped in front of Ra, legs crossed as she started talking about the feast at Took Hall and the conspiracy of them trying to kill her with food, yummy food, but still trying to kill her with it.

Ra was surprised by her sisters sudden appearance, but a smile fought its way to her lips as Isis continued to talk. She looked at the younger girl. Hair dripping wet, sticking close to her neck and face. Clothes had became second skin. Her cheeks were flushed, either from the walk or fever Ra couldn't tell. Bilbo came with a towel, he gave that to Ra and went to make something warm for Isis. Ra started to dry Isis' hair, the younger had moved on to the Brandybucks and how the tweens were coming along with tracking. Then the forge and the task she got done. Bilbo came back with a steaming cup of coco, Isis gratefully took the cup. Happily drinking the hot substance final noticing the chill in the room and the other occupants.

"Go get into warmer clothing, or it's the medicine." Ra said.

Isis stuck her tongue out and ran from the dining room.

"Ra, who was...who was that?" Dwalin asked.

"My baby sister, Isis." Ra replied smiling.

The Dwarfs and Wizard froze, Bilbo grinned. It was so worth it.
