Hey so in the movie Bombur sits at the end of the table where Bilbo's sitting, let's just pretend he's at the other table on the other end so that Lucy and Tony are on the other end Lucy being next to Fili and Tony next to Dori.
I include the extended scenes from Rivendell because they're some of my favorite scenes. BUT I have no idea what order they're in since I've only seen them separately on Youtube.
Could've sworn this chapter was already up on here. I have reviews for up to chapter 12... I don't remember posting those chapters though... I'm looking at the right story.
The Company walked across a bridge and entered Rivendell. A few elves could be seen strolling about. Bilbo, Tony and Lucy gazed in awe at the beauty of the place while the dwarves looked uneasy. A dark-haired elf walked down a flight of stairs and greeted them.
"Mithrandir," he greeted the wizard.
"Ah, Lindir!" Gandalf replied. As Lindir and Gandalf greeted each other, the dwarves murmured amongst themselves in distrust. They looked around wary of the elves nearby.
"Stay sharp," Thorin whispered to Dwalin. Suddenly, the Elvish horns from earlier were heard again. The Company turned around and saw a group of armed horsemen approaching along the bridge at a rapid pace.
"Ifridî bekâr! (Ready weapons!) Close ranks!" Thorin ordered. The dwarves bunched up together into a tight circle, with Tony, Lucy and Bilbo in the middle and with their weapons pointed outward; the mounted Elves arrived and rode in circles around the dwarves. Eventually, they stopped, and one elf, Elrond, separated himself from the others.
"Gandalf," he greeted. Gandalf bowed gracefully.
"Lord Elrond. Mellonnen! Mo evínedh? (My friend! Where have you been?)"
"Farannem 'lamhoth i udul o charad. Dagannem rim na Iant Vedui. (We've been hunting a pack of Orcs that came up from the South. We slew a number near the Hidden Pass.)" he replied.
"What language are they speaking?" Lucy whispered to no one in particular.
"Elvish," Thorin spat. Elrond dismounted from his horse, then he and Gandalf hugged.
"Strange for Orcs to come so close to our borders. Something, or someone, has drawn them near," Elrond said. He held up an Orc sword and showed it to everyone, then handed it to Lindir.
"Ah, that may have been us," Gandalf said. Thorin stepped forward, and Elrond looked upon him with recognition.
"Welcome Thorin, son of Thrain," he said.
"I do not believe we have met," Thorin said.
"You have your grandfather's bearing. I knew Thror when he ruled under the Mountain," Elrond said.
"Indeed; he made no mention of you," Thorin said. Ignoring this insult, Elrond turned to the dwarves and spoke in Elvish. The dwarves, of course, didn't understand what he said.
"Nartho i noer, toltho i viruvor. Boe i annam vann a nethail vin. (Light the fires, bring forth the wine. We must feed our guests.)" he had said.
"What is he saying? Does he offer us insult?" Gloin asked. The dwarves grew bellicose and gripped their weapons uneasily.
"No, master Gloin, he's offering you food," Gandalf said exasperatedly. The dwarves quickly discussed this amongst themselves.
"Ah well, in that case, lead on," Gloin said.
The dwarves sat around two tables in the Elven courtyard. However, they were not very appreciative of the meal of the Elves' vegetables that was provided for them. An Elf maiden played a harp in the background and another elf played a flute.
"Try it. Just a mouthful," Dori said to Ori who was holding up a large green leaf and just staring at it.
"I don't like green food," Ori said as he put it down. Dwalin looked through a bowl of greens with his hand.
"Where's the meat?" he asked. Oin held up a vegetable with his knife and looked at in disgust.
"Have they got any chips?" Ori asked. Elrond and Gandalf walked through the halls of Rivendell, Thorin following behind them.
"Kind of you to invite us. I'm not really dressed for dinner," Gandalf said.
"Well, you never are," Elrond said. They both laughed, and they arrived at the courtyard where the dwarves were along with Tony and Lucy who were the only two actually eating the food. Tony swallowed what he had in his mouth as he glanced at his sister.
"Are you alright?" he asked quietly. Lucy looked at him.
"I'm fine," she said quietly.
"I get it…" Tony said. "I… I know this isn't a game." Lucy looked at him. "You could've died today." He whispered; he almost looked like he was going to cry.
"But I didn't," Lucy said. "I'm fine, I'm okay."
"I think…. I think I wanna go home," he whispered. Lucy gave him a soft smile and gently took his hand, giving it a comforting squeeze. He gave her hand a squeeze back.
"Eat," Lucy told him gently. Tony continued to frown as he sadly munched on his salad. Bilbo watched the two with an empathetic frown.
Kili, at the other table, looked at an elf maiden playing on the harp. He winked at her with a small smile. Dwalin gave him a look, when Kili saw it he stopped smiling.
"Can't say I fancy elf maids, myself," Kili said. "Too thin." Dwalin raised his eyebrows a fraction of an inch as if to say 'really?' "They're all high cheek bones and creamy skin." He looked at Bofur beside him who nodded with a close-eyed smile. "Not enough facial hair for me. Although," Kili glanced up at an elf walking by behind them. "that one there's not bad," he said nodding to the elf.
"That's not an elf maid," Dwalin whispered leaning forward a bit. The elf turned and Kili saw it was a male elf. He looked back at Dwalin with a look of despair. Dwalin shook his head and gave him a mock wink before everyone started laughing. Kili's face went pink and he nodded with a strained smile.
"It's funny," he said. An elf maiden played a flute behind some of the dwarves; Oin, not liking the sound, stuffed a napkin in his hearing trumpet, and looked happy that he could no longer hear the music.
Elrond examined the swords Gandalf and Thorin found in the trolls' hoard; he looked at Thorin's first.
"This is Orcrist, the Goblin Cleaver, a famous blade forged by the High Elves of the West, my kin. May it serve you well." He handed Orcrist back to Thorin, who accepted it with a nod. Elrond then examined the other sword. "And this is Glamdring, the Foe-hammer, sword of the King of Gondolin. These swords were made for the goblin wars of the First Age..." Bilbo pulled out his sword and looked at it.
"I wouldn't bother, laddie," Balin said to him. "Swords are named for the great deeds they do in war."
"What are you saying, my sword hasn't seen battle?" Bilbo asked.
"I'm not actually sure it is a sword; more of a letter opener, really," Balin said.
"Miss Montgomery," Gandalf called the dwarves quieted down a bit. Lucy looked over at him and he waved her over, nodding at her to bring Tony.
"What did we do?" Tony asked in a whisper.
"I don't know," Lucy whispered back as she shrugged.
"Bring your swords," Elrond said. The two picked up their swords; they'd yet to find a way to attach them to their belts so they just had to carry them around with them. They walked over to the table and Tony held out his sword first. Elrond took the sword and looked it up and down.
"Trinity, Carver of Redemption," he said as he examined it. Tony's eyebrows shot up.
"My sword's a girl?" he asked. Lucy stifled a laugh and Elrond, Gandalf and even Thorin smiled. Elrond handed the sword back and held out his hand for Lucy's. His eyebrows went up in surprise.
"What is it?" Lucy asked.
"This is Shadow Strike, Dark Blade of Grace." Lucy's eyebrows mimicked Elrond's while Tony seemed to pout.
"Is… that good?" Lucy asked.
"No fair, yours sounds so much cooler than mine," Tony grumbled as he crossed his arms.
"I believe it will aid you well," Elrond said handing it back to her with a smile.
"Hey, do you guys have like things we can use to hold them?" Tony asked as he put the sword against his hip. "I don't like just carrying it around," he said before holding it up. Elrond raised an eyebrow but nodded.
"I'll have someone prepare holsters for you," he said.
"Thanks," Tony said before heading back to the table.
"Sorry about him," Lucy said with a quick bow of her head before following him. Elrond turned to Gandalf.
"How did you come by these?" Elrond asked him, referring to the swords.
"We found them in a troll hoard on the Great East Road, shortly before we were ambushed by orcs."
"And what were you doing on the Great East Road?" No one answered; Thorin looked perturbed.
"Excuse me," he said before getting up from the table and walking away. He went to stand a few feet from the first table. Lucy looked over at him and they made eye contact for a brief moment as he opened a flask.
"Thirteen dwarves, a halfling, a woman and a child: strange traveling companions, Gandalf," Elrond said before he took a drink.
"These are the descendants of the house of Durin, they're noble, decent folk," Gandalf said as Nori slipped something into his coat, "They're surprisingly cultured," he said as Bombur ate with his mouth open. "They've got a deep love of the arts," he said as Nori turned around to the elf playing the harp behind him.
"Change the tune why don't you? I feel like I'm at a funeral," Nori said.
"Did somebody die?" Oin asked.
"Alright lads, there's only one thing for it," Bofur said standing up and getting on a small pedestal that was in the center of the courtyard.
"Oh boy," Lucy muttered already knowing where he was going with this. Bofur started to sing. After the first line of the song he started stomping his feet and soon the other dwarves joined in, Bifur banging spoons. Thorin smiled as he watched them.
"There is an inn, a merry old inn
beneath an old grey hill,
And there they brew a beer so brown
That the Man in the Moon himself came down
one night to drink his fill."
Someone threw a piece of bread right between Gandalf and Elrond. Elrond gave Gandalf a look. Kili flung something on his spoon right past Lucy and Fili's faces. She turned to look at him with her eyebrows raised as Fili laughed. Kili grinned at them. Fili nudged Lucy and handed her a roll.
"Go on," he said with a laugh. Lucy bit her lip then threw the bread at Kili who had to duck to avoid getting hit in the face. It ended up hitting Bombur who immediately went to eat it. Kili looked slightly shocked before he threw more food at the two. The rest of the dwarves were also throwing food over Bofur between the two tables as well.
"The ostler has a tipsy cat
that plays a five-stringed fiddle;
And up and down he saws his bow
Now squeaking high, now purring low,
now sawing in the middle."
Bofur started dancing and the elves looked around feeling a bit awkward. Thorin started stomping his foot in time with the others. Tony was pounding on the table, laughing with a huge smile on his face as he watched his sister and Fili throwing food at Kili.
"So the cat on the fiddle played hey-diddle-diddle,
a jig that would wake the dead:
He squeaked and sawed and quickened the tune,
While the landlord shook the Man in the Moon:
'It's after three!' he said!"
The dwarves all laughed and threw more food as Bofur bowed. Bifur threw his salad up in the air like confetti. Tony clapped as he laughed before throwing some food at the other table. Kili threw food and hit a statue that Lindir was standing next to. The face Lindir made as he looked at it caused Lucy to burst out laughing. She quickly covered her mouth as Thorin moved closer to the table. He smiled at her and she lowered her hand to smile back. Tony saw his sister's huge smile and grinned as she clapped for Bofur too. The group quieted down some and Bofur jumped down before returning to his seat. A male elf walked up behind Lucy and Tony.
"Excuse me," Lucy turned to see him and she couldn't help her mouth falling open slightly. She couldn't deny the fact that he was very attractive, especially when he smiled down at her.
"H-Hi…" she said. Tony rolled his eyes and Fili frowned.
"Hello. If you are finished…eating, I am to escort you and your brother to where you'll be staying," The elf said.
"Oh, okay," Lucy said with a smile as she tried to ignore the fact that her face had flushed bright red. "Thank you." The elf nodded and held out his hand for her. Kili just happened to glance over and saw Lucy taking the elf's hand before she stood. The smile was wiped from his face as he saw the shy smile on hers. He noticed the glare on Fili's face and the annoyed look on Tony's.
Tony and Lucy were shown the room they could stay in for the night. Tony told Lucy she could have the room to herself because he'd rather stay with the dwarves. He didn't tell her it was because he thought she needed some time to herself after being surrounded by guys for so long.
Lucy was about to get ready for a bath that an elf maiden had prepared for her when she found Tony's bag next to hers. The elves must have brought them in while everyone was eating. Lucy picked up Tony's bag and left the room to find him. She walked around for a while until she saw Elrond and Lindir stopped and looking at something.
"Excuse me?" Lucy called as she jogged up to them. The two turned around. Elrond looked annoyed, though Lucy could tell it wasn't directed at her, and Lindir looked rather distressed.
"M'lady I wouldn't-" Lindir tried to say but Lucy had already caught sight of the dwarves in the fountain, the naked dwarves that is, along with Tony. There were two teams of three playing chicken consisting of Dori, Oin and Gloin against Bofur, Bifur and Dwalin. Balin could be seen away from them simply relaxing while above him Bombur was getting ready to jump in. Fili and Kili were even higher up riding the water down. As Bombur jumped the water splashed Balin making him jump and move away in surprise. Bofur threw his arms up in victory as his team won when the other three fell back into the water as Fili and Kili popped out of the water above them. The only two outside of the fountain were Nori and Ori, who was still getting undressed. Nori decided to take a towel and whip it at Ori's bottom causing the poor lad to yelp. Tony was sitting on the edge of the fountain, his feet in the water, and had been watching the six dwarves play chicken. Lucy let out a surprised squeak and her hands flew to cover her eyes, dropping Tony's bag in the process. Tony, having heard his sister's squeak, turned to see her standing there. He started laughing as he could see how red her face was even from how far away he was. He moved to be hidden by the water before cupping his hands to his mouth.
"Hey Lucy!" he shouted. The dwarves all looked over to see Lucy, Lindir and Elrond. Ori was the only one to hide himself by getting in the fountain. "Come to see the show?"
"I came to bring you your bag!" Lucy shouted back before turning her back to the fountain and lowering her hands. Lindir looked at her sympathetically.
"I tried to warn you," he said. Lucy nodded.
"I know; it's not your fault," she said.
"Then bring it over!" Tony shouted with a laugh.
"I'm leaving it right here! You can come and get it when you're done!"
"But my extra clothes are in there, you don't want me to catch a cold do you?"
"Oh, I'm gunna kill 'im," Lucy muttered as she closed her eyes. Tony snickered but was suddenly splashed from above.
"Hey!" He looked up to see Fili and Kili looking down at him.
"Don't embarrass her," Fili said.
"Oh come on," Tony said. "I'm just having a bit of fun."
"I don't think she finds it all that funny," Kili said nodding towards her. Tony turned to see Lucy storming away and frowned.
That night, after Lucy had bathed and dressed in a long light blue night gown, provided by the elves, she went through her bag and took out Tony's handheld game. She didn't want to be responsible if it broke while they were on the move so she figured she might as well just give it back to him. Lucy left the room and headed towards the dwarves quarters. When she got there she saw that the Dwarves were having a late-night party of sorts. They roasted sausages over a fire made by burning the Elvish furniture. Lucy leaned on the railing of the stairs to get a better looked. She saw Bifur trying to roast some sort of vegetable and Tony munching on something. Bofur, who saw a heavy Bombur sitting on a bench and eating a large bowl of food, looked at his sausage thoughtfully.
"Bombur!" He called. As Bombur looked up Bofur threw him the sausage. Bombur caught it and the weight of the little sausage was just too much for the bench, and the bench broke; Bombur shrieked and fell to the floor, along with all his food. The dwarves laughed uproariously, Bofur rolling over in laughter. Perhaps Lucy would just give Tony his game back in the morning, they all looked to be enjoying themselves; Tony looked happy, she didn't want to ruin it with her presence. She went to turn away when someone spotted her.
"Miss Lucy!" Dori called. Lucy looked back to see the rest of the dwarves had turned to look at her.
"Why don't you come join us, lassie?" Gloin asked. Lucy hesitated and looked to Tony who looked at her in confusion. Why was she looking at him? Was she asking his permission? He waved her over and she walked down the stairs before walking into the area.
"Now, don't you look lovely," Fili said. Lucy looked over to see him smiling at her. "Very pretty with your hair down," he added with a wink making her blush.
"Come sit over here," Kili said as he sat up from his lounging position and patted the seat next to him.
"What's that you got there?" Nori asked pointing to the gameboy.
"Uh… Tony, here," Lucy said walking over and holding out the game. Tony's eyebrows shot up but he took it.
"Why are you giving this back?" he asked.
"I don't think mom and dad's rules apply here, besides it's been way over two days," she said with a shrug.
"I forgot you had this…Thanks," Tony said with a nod.
"Lucy," Kili said with a smile. Lucy walked over and sat next to him. "You look very nice in a dress," he said with a flirty smirk.
"Don't get used to it," Lucy said with a chuckle. "I hate long dresses," she said pulling at the night gown slightly. Kili chuckled. "So did you talk to that 'elf maiden'?" Lucy asked with a teasing smile. Kili's smirk dropped and his face went pink, he didn't think she'd heard about that since she was at the other table.
"Not you too," he whined quietly. Lucy giggled.
"Sorry. Though I will admit I thought he was female too when I first saw him," Lucy said in a stage whisper. Kili laughed as she giggled.
"What about you?" he asked.
"Huh?"
"That uh… the elf you left with after dinner…"
"Oh, he just wanted to show me and Tony our room."
"Ah..."
"He's not my type anyway," Lucy said shaking her head before pushing her hair behind her ear. Kili's eyebrows rose.
"Oh? You-…you have a type then?" he asked, a smile tugging at his lips.
"I guess," Lucy said with a slight shrug.
"So… what about him… wasn't your type."
"Hmm…" Lucy put one arm across her stomach, the elbow of her other arm rested on top of it as she held her chin, and Kili leaned closer. "Well… he was too tall," she said before glancing at him to see him starting to smile more. "Too clean shaven." She added as she put a hand on her own cheek. Kili started to grin and Lucy smiled at him. He shifted a bit closer to her.
"But you're good with… you know, not a lot of facial hair?"
"I still think you're very handsome, Kili," she assured him.
"I didn't say anything about me-" he said quickly.
"I know," she said giving him a smile. He chuckled slightly as she brushed her hair behind her ear again. "Hey you think you could braid my hair for me?" Kili blinked and his cheeks went pink.
"Wha-What?" he asked.
"I can never do it right by myself when it's all of it," Lucy said. "I can do little braids just fine but the bigger one always falls out. If you don't want to I could ask Fili. I just figured you'd know how since you all have braids in some way or another."
"No, no, I'll do it," Kili said.
"Thanks Kee," Lucy said and Kili smiled at the nickname. "Here just use this to tie it off." Lucy pulled her hair band from around her wrist and handed it to him. He nodded and she turned so her back was to him. He pulled her hair back over her shoulders; his fingers brushed against her neck and sent shivers down her spine. He ran his fingers through her hair to make sure there were no tangles or knots before he started to braid. Kili took his time weaving the braid and after a few minutes he finished then tied it off.
"All done," he said. Lucy turned and smiled at him.
"Thanks," she said reaching back to touch the braid.
"You're welcome," he said with a smile. Bofur turned around to face Lucy.
"You hungry, lass? There's some more food left over," he said.
"No thank you, Bofur," Lucy said. Bofur nodded with a smile before turning back to the fire.
"Hey Lucy, you still have those marshmallows in your bag?" Tony asked. The dwarves looked confused but Lucy nodded.
"Yeah, why?"
"Dad pack any chocolate with them?"
"Yeah but it's all melted in the wrappers. He packed graham crackers too but they're probably all crushed," she said.
"Could you go get them anyways?" Tony asked. "We can use actual forks here instead of sticks."
"Alright," Lucy said as she stood. "I'll be right back."
"Don't be too long, I'll start to miss you," Kili said with an adorable smile. Lucy tried to hide a smile as well as her blush as she quickly headed to the stairs. She walked up the stairs and looked up just in time to see Thorin. He turned his head to look at her. She noticed his expression and concern filled her features.
"Is everything alright?" she asked quietly. Then she heard Elrond and Gandalf talking. She looked over at them and saw Bilbo was watching too.
"It is a dangerous move, Gandalf," Elrond said
"It is also dangerous to do nothing. The throne of Erebor is Thorin's birthright. What is it you fear?" Gandalf asked.
"Have you forgotten? A strain of madness runs deep in that family," Elrond said. "His grandfather lost his mind, his father succumbed to the same sickness. Can you swear Thorin Oakenshield will not also fall?" Thorin looked away as Lucy looked at him. "Gandalf, these decisions to not rest with us alone. It is not up to you or me to redraw the map of Middle-Earth."
"With or without our help these dwarves will march on the mountain," Gandalf said as the two started climbing some stairs. "They're determined to reclaim their homeland. I do not believe Thorin Oakenshield feels that he's answerable to anyone. Nor for that matter am I." Their voices faded as they walked away.
"Thorin…" Lucy said taking a step towards him.
"We'll be leaving in the early morning, make sure you're ready before the first light," he said without looking at her.
"Yes sir," she said bowing her head slightly. "Goodnight." He looked at her and nodded before she walked past him.
…
Tony was teaching Ori to play his gameboy which was surprisingly mostly charged since he hadn't used it the entire journey so far. Lucy returned and saw that Thorin and Bilbo had also joined the others.
"Sweet," Tony said when Lucy tossed him the bag of marshmallows.
"What are those?" Gloin asked.
"Marshmallows. Basically fluffy, squishy, sugar," Tony said.
"We use them to make smores," Lucy said.
"More what?" Oin asked. Tony shook his head.
"No, Smores," he said "Marshmallows and chocolate on graham crackers."
"You put them with what on what?" Nori asked. Tony's eyes widened.
"Tell me you all know what chocolate is," he said. The dwarves all shook their heads. "Lucy. Lucy, they… they don't know what chocolate is…" he said as he stared down, looking devastated.
"Stop being such a drama queen," Lucy said with a small smile as she rolled her eyes. "They don't have pizza here either." Tony's head snapped to look at her.
"What?" he squeaked.
"Well, I mean I'm just assuming," Lucy said with a shrug.
"Never assume about pizza." He said pointing a finger. The dwarves watched the two curiously.
"We could always show them how to make it or something."
"Is this pizza a type of food?" Bofur asked. Tony's eyes widened.
"My assumption was correct," Lucy said with a smirk.
"You shush," Tony said to her.
"Anyway, about these smores?" Kili asked.
"Right," Lucy said. "Here uh… Nori could I borrow a fork?" Nori blinked.
"What makes you think I have a fork?" he asked.
"I saw you take them," she said as she tilted her head and gave him a don't-try-to-deny-it look. Nori frowned then reached in the pocket of his pants that were hanging up and held out the fork to her. "Thank you." She said with a smile. "Tony, a marshmallow if you please," she said holding out the fork to him.
"Your marshmallow," Tony said as he took a marshmallow out of the bag and stuck it on the fork.
"So you roast the marshmallow," Lucy said as she held it over the fire while she opened the not-so-much-bar-shaped chocolate bar. "Little help, Tone?" Tony nodded and opened the graham cracker box, which was only slightly crushed, and took out two pieces. "You put the chocolate on one cracker then the marshmallow between the two." She said as Tony put the chocolate on one piece and held out the half made sandwich for her to put the marshmallow in. "And now you have a smore. Who wants to try it?" Bombur immediately raised his hand and Lucy smiled before handing it to him. The rest of the dwarves all watched him eat it. His face lit up with a huge smile which made Lucy and Tony laugh.
"May I have one?" Ori asked politely.
"Of course, sweetie," Lucy said. Ori smiled shyly. "Tony, how many crackers do we have?"
"Enough for about 20 I think," Tony said after counting.
"Great, everyone can try them," Lucy said. "Nori, more forks please?" Without a word, Nori passed out the wooden forks and Tony made sure everyone had a marshmallow and the dwarves took turns making their smores. Lucy sat down next to Kili as he ate his.
"So you learn everyone's names yet?" Fili asked as he came over with his and sat on Lucy's other side making her move over which made Kili have to move over too.
"It's not that hard to remember you all," Lucy said. "It's not like I met you lot yesterday."
"Alright, let's see how many you get right then." Fili said. "You get more than 10 you get a prize."
"More than 10, that's hardly fair; it should be more than half," Kili said.
"Only 6 names?" Fili asked.
"That's not half of 13," Kili said with a frown. "What about Uncle?"
"We're not counting Thorin," Fili said.
"Oh," Kili said.
"Wait, Thorin's your uncle?" Lucy asked as she raised her eyebrows. Thorin, upon hearing his name, glanced over at the trio.
"Doesn't that make you like… princes?" Tony asked, overhearing as well.
"Pretty much," Kili said with a half shrug.
"Yeah," Fili said with a nod.
"Would it?" Lucy asked. "I would think that would only work if your father was king." The two looked at each other.
"Our father died in battle," Kili said.
"Oh, I-I'm so sorry," Lucy said before biting her lip.
"It's alright, Lucy, you didn't know," Fili said giving her a smile.
"Fili's next in line for the throne, after Uncle," Kili said.
"That's awesome!" Tony said with a grin. "We're friends with princes." He said as he turned to Lucy.
"Well, back to our little game," Fili said with a chuckle.
"We can't count us either, she knows us by heart," Kili said winking at Lucy.
"Wait wait hold on," Lucy said holding up a hand. "Why didn't you tell us you were princes?" She asked. She wasn't upset or anything she was genuinely curious.
"You never asked," Kili said as the two shrugged.
"They're right," Tony said. Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Alright then out of 10, if you get at least 5 right you get a prize." Fili said.
"What's the prize?" Lucy asked.
"A surprise," Fili said.
"Alright then," Lucy surveyed the group. "Well Bombur was the one who broke the bench, Bofur's in front of us," Bofur hearing his name looked back at them, it only took him a second to realize what she was doing and he grinned before paying attention. "Bifur's trying to cook that vegetable still," Bifur looked at her. "Nori's by the clothes hanging up, Ori's the one writing in a journal on his 'bed', Dori's the one smoking the pipe by the railing, Dwalin's the bald one," The brother's counted on their fingers then looked at each other. "Balin is next to him, Oin's the one who helped Bombur up, and Gloin's the one sitting to the left of Tony." Lucy said as she pointed to each one. She looked back and forth between the brothers. "So, how'd I do?"
"Spot on," Bofur said with a grin. Lucy smiled at him. "Should've bet money on it."
"I don't have any money to bet with," Lucy said with a small shrug.
"Here." Kili said reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a small pouch and took out a few coins. "My half of your prize."
"Kili, what am I supposed to do with these?" she asked. "You don't have to-" Kili cut her off by taking her hand and putting the coins in it.
"Take it or I'll find another way to put it in your pocket," he said quietly before winking at her. Lucy sighed but nodded with a small smile.
"Fine but I'm going to pay you back at some point."
"Don't; it's a gift," Kili said as he closed her hand around the coins.
"Thank you, Kili." He smiled and glanced down at the hand he was still holding before seeing Lucy trying to hide a shy smile. Kili gave her hand a small squeeze, rubbing his thumb over the back of it slowly. Fili cleared his throat, drawing Lucy's attention to him and making Kili release her hand. "Oh, and what's your half?" Lucy asked turning to him. Fili smirked at her as he gently held her chin before he leaned over and kissed her cheek. Lucy's eyes widened and her face went red. Kili started snickering and Bofur started laughing.
"Lookin' a little red in the face there, lass!" Dwalin called to her drawing everyone's attention. Lucy ducked her head slightly and bit her lip.
"I think I'm going to go to bed now," she said as she stood. Fili quickly stood as well.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean-" he started with a frown.
"No, it's fine," Lucy said giving him a smile. "Thank you," she said before quickly kissing his cheek and rushing off to the stairs. The dwarves 'ohh'ed and laughed at the silly grin on Fili's face. Tony rolled his eyes but laughed too.
