Chapter 52

Forging Friendship's

After Philicia and Dis returned to the Great Hall Dis went and started mingeling with the crowd of people. Some she reconized from Dunland and some from Erid Luin. The rest she assumed were from the Iron Hills. "Do you feel better now azyungial?" Thorin wispered in her ear suprising her from behind. "Your sister is so much like you it's uncanny." Philicia said turning to face him. "Well then come I do believe we are expected back at the high table." Philicia followed Thorin across the hall she had noticed that Fili and Kili were deep in conversation with their mother. "She did Amad . Fili exclaimed! Lady Philicia had uncle wrap a heavy chain around me and secured it to the throne. She was determined I was not going to fight." Fili gauffed as Philicia took her seat between Dis and Thorin. 'Now that we are all together I have a few questions. What is the occasion for all the decoration's?" Dis asked as she scanned the room. "In my world today is Christmas. That is why there is a decorated tree in the entry way and wreaths hanging everywhere." Philicia started. "You should have been here this morning when all the children were unwrapping gift's." Thorin added. So Philicia went on to bring her up to date on all the holiday's that were celebrated in her world and in turn they explained what Durin's day was and how it was remembered. "So how do we celebrate the new year where you are from?" Dis asked. Philicia told them of the parties and celebration's. "And the Mascarade Ball's are the best. I have only been to one and it was so much fun . We all wore mask's and at midnight we took them of revealing who we were." Philicia also went on about the banquet tables laden with food the balloons and confetti and the dancing. "Oh my dear that does sound like a grand celebration." Dis stated as they hung on every one of Philicia's word's. 'And when do you do this?" Balin asked. "December thirty -first." Philicia said all giddy. Everyone spent the remainder of the evening talking and catching up till Dis said her goodnight's and retired to her chamber for the evening. "Philicia woud you walk with me?" Dis asked rising from her seat. Once they were in the corridor Philica stopped."I am glad you asked this cause I want to give you your gift." Philicia and Dis after reaching the royal halls both stopped in front of the door. "This is my room." She said opening the door allowing the Princess entry first."You have an agoining chamber with my brother I see." Dis said looking around. "I do but the door locks from both sides. Philicia said casually "He has not taken The King's chamber I have noticed." Dis also said as she looked around at the Lime Green and Pink decor of the room. "We all told him It was only right but he refused saying he would take the room when he had a queen to go with it." Dis laughed." Thast sound's like my brother always the stubborn one." "You can say that again." Philicia added sifting through her drawer. "Ah, here they are." She said handing Dis a small box."The Diamond's and rubies are real I bought them for you while Thorin and I were in my world." Philicia said as Dis removed the top from the small box. "Oh!" She gasped softly. "These are beautiful my dear." She said holding the earrings up to her ear's. "There not much but Thorin said rubies were your favorite. " Philicia said reaching under the bed for her computer "This is my laptop it does a lot of amazing thing's .Thorin loves it he is even learning to type. This thing and him spent a lot of time together when he wasn't able to get out of bed." Dis paled for a second then asked for a glass of water before resuming her inspection of Philicia's laptop. She even showed Dis her cell phone and the photo's she had taken of the journey here. "Welll what do you think?" Philicia asked as she held her phone in front and telling Dis to smile a bright flash of light went off. "See it's us." Philicia showed the photo to Dis who's eyes became as big as saucers as she ran her fingertips over the extrodinary likeness. "After a while the two women said their goodnight's and Philicia promised to have tea with Dis around ten tomorrow morning. "I will see you in the morning." Dis said as she walked down the hall. Philicia was sitting on her bed when her thought's were interrupted by Fili and Kili knocking on her door. "Hey." Philicia said as they stepped into room holding a long slim box. 'What's this you two?" She said sitting in the chair near the window. "Your Christmas gift it was not finished till a while ago."Fili said. " We had to go all the way down..." Kili," Fili said nudging his brother with his elbow. "Don't give it away." Fili scolded him softly. 'Here, open it." They laid the box in Philicia's lap. She removed the lid and her hand's instantly locked onto her face at what laid in the box atop a deep Amythest velvet blanket. "Oh it's so..." They had gifted Philicia with a sword with Diamond and Amythest stones inlaid in the hilt and her name carved in dwarvish rues on the blade. "Uncle helped us but the design was our idea." Fili said. Philicia hugged them both and after they left she slipped into her pajamas and waited for Thorin.

Philicia was sitting on her bed when a soft knock cme from the door of their ajoining chambers. She had been listening to the soundtrack for Battle of the Five Armies on her laptop when Thorin's knock came. Philicia jumped out of bed went to the door and quickly unlocking it throwing herself into the arm's of the Dwarven King "I am surprised to find you still up my love." He said as his mouth decended on her's."Oh Mahal help me I have missed you!" He groaned as his tongue plunged into her warm mouth. Thorin deepend the kiss as he slowly backed Philicia toward the bed. He fell atop her covering her body with his full weight as he continued to plunder her lip's. The music played on as the flames threatend to burst into a roaring fire. A deep groan escaped the kings throat as he tore his mouth from her's. 'Philicia,Philicia." Thorin wimpered as his lip's nuzzled her neck and slowly kissed a path down her chin. "Thorin." she panted when his fingers slowly undid the laces at the front of her top. Thorin finding her bare skinned underneath let his hand slowly push the annoying garment aside as he started peppering soft kisses over her breast. Finding the small bud he gently took it between his lip's and swirled his tounge in slow circles over her now peaked nipple. His hand reached over and grasped the other breast and mimicked the motion of his mouth. "OH gawd Thorin." She moaned quietly into his shoulder. "You taste delicious." He said repeating the act on her right breast. "I want to taste you more, all of you, everywhere." He said moving down her chest planting soft kisses and nip's on her flesh. Thorin swirled his tounge in her belly button before moving further down. "What are you doing?" She asked as he reached for the elastic band on her bottom's. "Trust me my heart I will honor your maidenhood." Thorin breathed. "I trust you." She said burying her small hand's in his raven locks. "Thorin gave a quick tug and her bottoms went flying to the floor. Now she was only in her panties as she lay exposed before him. Thorin raised himself up sitting on his knees he let his eyes roam over her curves."By Mahal you are so beautiful." He said as his irises turned from a deep blue to near black with arousal. "Thorin." she breathed as he slowly began kissing her feet and working his way upward . The king was taking his time with her unsure of what he was doing. He had dallied with the act with a chambermaid while living in Erid Luin all those year's ago but had found the act not appealing. However now a he looked upon the woman that he loved Thorin wanted nothin more than to taste and touch till she was wirthing beneath him. Thorin had finally stopped with the kisses as his lip's came to her soft mound. He latched on to the soft blue lace and taking the fabric between his teeth quickly sent her panties to join her bottom's on the floor. "Philicia if you say no I will stop on my honor I swear it." Thorin breathed out as his blue eye's met her's. "No I want this I want to know please." No more word's were needed. Philicia nearly lept off the mattress at the first touch of Thorin's tounge on her mound. "So sweet." He wispered as he buried his face into her fold's. Thorin gave a few expermintal licks as Philicia let a moan escape her mouth. "Shhh, my heart." He crooned as she bit her lip to keep from crying out. Thorin swirled his tounge over the tiny bud nestled between her tight curl's and Philicia grabbed handfull's of his hair . His mouth was doing things to her she never knew it could possibly do as he bit and lapped at the moisture that was beginning to coat her womanhood. "Oh you taste so..."He never finished as his tounge left a trail from her bottom opening and slowly up to the nub that was now so swollen from his attention she was nearly ready to scream. "Thorin, Thorin." She softly mewed his name. He did not cease instead he gently slid a thick finger into her tight opening."You are so small my love, breathe Philicia I swear I will be gentle." Thorin was true to his word and with the movement of his finger sliding in and out and his tounge sucking on her nub she felt the tight coil that had been building break free. The burning she had felt at his first invasion was quickly replaced by enexplicable pleasure. Her back arched as wave after wave of pure extacsy washed over her whole body . She bit her lip to avoid crying out as Thorin lappped and sucked and her leg's shook from her very first release. "You are breathtaking." He said wiping his mouth on his sleeve. "I, is that what I made you feel back in Rivendell?" Philicia asked as her breathing slowed to normal. " Something like that but different. Worry not my heart I did not break you. If I had you would know it. I swore you would go to our marriage bed a maiden and you shall." Thorin gathered her in his arms as sleep claimed her. He stayed with her till she was fully asleep and with a solomn sigh he returned to his chamber.

" Thorin?" Philicia called quietly as she woke not feeling him next to her. She scrambeled out of bed and went to the ajoining door. Finding it unlocked she quietly crept in into his room. The sun was just starting to splash the morning sky with light as she slowly went to his bed. Philica watched him sleep for a second . Thorin was laying on his side a pillow pulled up against his chest. His breathing was slow and steady a he clutched the pillow in his sleep. Was he dreaming and were they of her. Philicia wondered. Softly she let her fingers skim over his long black locks. A wave of his hair fell into his face and Philicia gently brushed it back so not to wake him. As soon as she touched his face tho Thorin opend his stunning Blue Eye's and she knew she was caught. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." Philicia said brushing the waves from his cheek. "No that is quite alright. What are you doing in here?" He asked sitting up. "I woke up and after ..you know I , I you wern't beside me and I missed you." Philicia hung her head embarresment on her face. "The door was open usually i'm sure it's not but I you must have forgot to lock it last night when you...left." She felt tears threatening to spill over and held them back. Thorin was not fooled as he caught the moisture coating her eye's. "Oh amralime I did not want to go but I know we can not be caught sleeping in the same chamber without a chaperone." Thorin brushed away the tears that had begun trickeling down her cheek's. " Come sit with me?" He asked patting the bed. "So what are you doing today my heart?" Thorin asked taking her small hand's in his large ones. "I am supposed to meet your sister at ten this morning in her chambers for tea." She went on to tell him how Dis was going to help her to fit in and show her all that would be expected of her while living in Erebor. "No doubt my sister sees the same things that I do." Thorin said brushing her hair behind her ear. "And what's that?" Philicia asked her eye's fixed on his. "A future queen." Thorin spoke the word's with such confidence that Philicia felt her heart lurch inside. "Thorin I don't have to be queen . I can just be your's." She said as he reached behind her neck and pulled their lip's together. 'I know that but I want you as my queen I will have no other." Thorin said as they broke away from one another. "So what's on your agenda for the day?" She finally asked. "I have a early meeting with my advisors and then I am to start hearing petitions and disputes. Once the mountain fills up it does not take long for conflicts to arise .They must be resolved immediatly lest chaos remain and discord amoung my people." Thorin she could tell was scared by the way his voice shook when he spoke of the day's task's. I must prepare for the day . Will you meet me in the Great hall for lunch?" The king asked going to the closet . "I will be there." She agreed. "Thorin you are going to be amazing I know that. Head high, shoulder's back, confidence , be the king they know and love." She encouraged him setting his posture in position. I lov.." Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Come." Thorin said as the door opend and Balin stepped into the room. "Ah, well good morning lassie." he said giving her a bow. "Ready for the day laddie. Your first day as King of Erebor uncorinated but your's by birthright." Balin said with pride in his voice. "I am." Thorin said emerging from the closet a pile of clothes in his hand's. "Well I have to get ready to meet Dis I will see you at lunch." She kissee Thorin on the cheek and gave Balin a curtsy and left them alone. "Ah laddie ,what are ye doing?" Balin asked after the door shut. "I do not know ,one thing is certin tho I love her so very much. I ache for her I want us to be wed immediatly so I can spend my nights with her without these dammed traditions an boundaries of propriety we are subjected too." Thorin rubbed his face as he entered his bathroom and shucked his clothes off. Sliding into the hot water he let the warmth engulfe his sore muscles.

Two hours later Philicia found herself sitting in the ante chamber of Princess Dis. "Tea my Lady?"The serving girl asked . Dis held her cup while the dark headed girl poured strong black tea into both cup's. "So tell me Philicia how are you liking living in a Dwarven Kingdom?" Dis asked sipping her tea. "It's wonderful . I have been with the company and Thorin since before their journey started .They all are like family to me. I love them all ." Phiicia spoke taking a dainty sip of her tea. "Do you ever not wish to be with your own kind?" Dis asked taking a bite of the steaming hot pastries. "No, not really. In my world there are so many different races. There are African Americans, Indians . Native Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Middle Easterns. But when two people of different races fall in love most just wish them happiness. I have never thought it strange for Thorin and I being together. I love him and that 's all that should matter. "Philicia said as she reached for a lemon tart to save for Thorin. "Alas if only everyone thought as you do. You must understand dwarves are set deep in tradition and culture. They are going to have a very difficult time accepting you." Dis exaled slowly. "I know that and that's the same thing I said toThorin when he asked me to marry him." Suddenly Dis gasped her hand's going to her face. "When, when did he ask you?" Dis asked sitting up in her chair. "When we were at Beorn's house. It was my birthday and he he gave me this ring and he even got down on one knee and then ,he asked me." Philicia held the ring out for Dis to see. "And did you accept?" She asked her Durin Blue Eye's widening in anticipaton. 'Yes and no. I told him I would fully accept when his people accepted me for who I am, not what I am." Dis was silent while she looked at the Diamond ring adorning Philicia's left hand. "My brother made that for you?" It was more of a question than a statement. Philicia nodded her head. 'Well if Thorin has truly given his heart to you then we must see to it that all of Erebor comes to adore you as much as they do my brother. You know while we lived in exile even tho times were hard . Thorin was loved by all the people. He has and will continue to do what is best for his people." Dis breathed catching the flicker of emotion on Philicia's face. "I know that and that's what makes him a great king ." She wispered her face cast downward. "Philicia my dear I do not want to condeme my brother to a life of loneliness so we must find a way for them to accept you." So they brainstormed as Philicia disclosed all her talent's to the Dwarven Princess. Sewing cooking and clothing designing not to mention her otherworldly medical knowledge. "We will stress to them that you saved the lives of not only their king but his heir's as well." Dis smiled. She was really starting to like the human girl that had stolen her brother's heart. So by the time they were done a plan had been executed now the only thing left was to carry it out.

Philicia and Dis made their way to the Great hall for lunch. Thorin was already there sitting with Dwalin and Balin . Fili and Kili were also there with him as was Bifur and Nori. Philicia could tell the council meeting did not go as planned. Thorin's brows were scrunched and an angry scoul was plastered upon his striking face. He was leaning over wispering something in Balin's ear when Gloin joined them. 'So when is your better half suppposed to arrive?" Thorin asked as Gloin took his seat. "Ah the better part of next week weather permitting. 'He answered his face beaming. "I havn't seen me wee lad nigh almost a year now." Gloin continued. And me dear wife she must me missing me somthin aweful by now." Dis and Philicia came up to the table then their plates filled with food. "A Lassie here." Gloin said scooting over so Philicia could sit next to Thorin. "How was your meeting?" She asked taking a bite of her steamed vegetables. Thorin was quiet as everyone waited for the king to speak. Putting his fork down a bit roughly he said." A disaster. I was bombarded with one document after the other to read through and not to mention the loose end's from Erid Luin before our secretive departure." Ahhha", Thorin growled in frusteration. "Backminded pompus asses." Thorin gauffed as he slammed the mug of ale he had been holding."That bad?" Philicia said reaching for his hand. "Come my heart let not the bigots ruin our happiness." So they ate and drank and when dessert was serves Philicia chose a piece of Apple Pie and Thorin the Lemon Tart's. "Well my dear girl are you ready to meet with my best seamstresses in the morning?" Dis smiled at Philicia knowingly. "I am so ready I can't wait to scetch some of my design's for them. "Well me dear if we are going to get an early start one must get a good night's sleep."So true, Thorin I will see you later." She squeezed his hand and the two women left the King and his company to their drink's.

After they left Dwalin asked Thorin what had happend in the council meeting to make him so upset."They do not approve of Philicia being here. They say I should send her to Dale and she find a suitable life for herself there." Thorin's eye's were cast downward as he figeted with his finger's. "And are ye concidering it?" Dwalin asked. "No, I am not. I told them that she has proven her loyalty and she has earned her place in Erebor." Thorin said his voice low and throaty."And what was their responce to that?" Dwalin looked at his lifelong friend. "They did not agree." Thorin answered. "Did I not tell you back in Bree nadad , the trouble it would cause bringing her here." Dwalin reminded him of their talk the morning he had asked Philicia in courtship. So the evening grew late and they drank . Near midnight Thorin had had enough he could barely stand as he made his way to his chamber. He stopped in front of Philicia's door and raised his hand to knock but drew it away before he could make contact. "She is more than likely sleeping anyway." He said continuing to his chamber. Thorin being very drunk suddenly stumbled as he cursed quite loud in Khazadul. Philicia was instantly on her feet tearing the door open. She saw Thorin crawling on his hand's and knee's trying to get his door open. "Thorin!" She called coming up beside him. " Oh ,what happend?" She stooped down next to him. "I have had a bit too much ale I do believe. Everything is spinning. I can not get the door open." He said as his head fell almost to the floor. "Come on let's go Thorin. You are going to have to help me I can't get you up on my own." So Thorion grasped the wall pulling himself to his feet. Philicia opend the door and Thorin stumbled into the room. "Sit down before you fall ." Philicia ordered. Thorin complied as she bent down and started removing his boot's. Setting them at the foot of the bed she went and stood before him again. 'Ok come on let's get this off of you." Thorin raised his hand's above his head as Philicia pulled the Deep Blue tunic he had been wearing over his head. She went over to the chest and searched till she found a white linen shirt and some light brown pant's. After helping Thorin into his night clothes she helped him under the warm pelts covering his bed."Do you want the light's out?" Philicia asked as she started for the door. " Yes... Philicia ?" Thorin mumbled reaching his hand out to her. "Stay with me I do not want to be alone?" Philicia went back to the bed and sat down next to the very ineberated king. "Thorin you need to sleep ,lay back and I will stay till you are out ok." Philicia did stay till she was sure he was indeed sleeping it off. "Oh you are going to feel terrible in the morning silly dwarf." She said making sure Thorin was on his side . Philicia rolled a few blankets up and placed them behind Thorin's back so he could not turn over. She had never seen him so drunk before and was not taking any chances. "Good night my love." She said exiting the room but leaving the ajoining door open just in case he called for her she would hear him. Several hours later she was woken by a horrible retching sound. Remembering how intoxicated Thorin was she bulleted to his chamber. Thorin was on his knees emptying his stomach on the stone floor. "Oh no I was afraid of this, come on let's get you to the bathroom." She had just managed to get him to the sink when his stomach began to rid itself of all the alcohol he had drank. "What did you do Thorin?" She breathed holding his hair out of his face." I should have known better than to mix ale with Elvish Wine and wiskey." Thorin moaned into the sink as his head hung low over the basin." I am regertting it n..." He gagged as more content's were brought up. "Stay here." She said." I willl be right back. Philicia ran down the halll coming to Oin's doorshe knocked loudly. "What is it lassie?" He asked tying a robe around his waist. "Please bring your bag ,quickly to the king's chamber." Philicia urged him."Oh what has he gone and done now lass?" Philicia hesitated for a second. "He 's really drunk and he's ,he's..." Oin shook his head knowing indeed what condition he was going to find Thorin in. "Thorin, laddie, "Oin called. They heard Thorin from the bathroom still throwing up. Philicia tossed a towel over the mess on the floor as Oin tended to Thorin. "Lassie dear could you please go and get Bombur to make a tomato cocktail." "I'm on it." Philicia went to get Bombur while Oin stayed with Thorin .By the time she had returned Thorin was sitting in the bath with a cold cloth over his forehead and a bucket beside him. "You can go and rest lass I have got him. Twill not be the first time I have tended him in the wee hours ." Oin said dumping warm water over Thorins tilted head. "No I want to stay." Suit yourself lass there is no gurantee he will keep this down long enough to work it's magic but we have to try." "Will he remember any of this?" She asked sitting down next to Thorin. "No." Came Oin's curt reply. 'Good." She said brushing Thorin's hair out of his face. Oin had managed to get him to drink the tomato juice and within a few minutes he was out cold. Philicia and Oin stayed with him the rest of the night.
