Ori calls Gimli as soon as the lovers are gone. He knows Fili hates it when he does this sort of thing, but someone has too.
"Hullo?" Gimli answers, his speech muddled by what Ori assumes is food. "Kili's here. Apparently his P.R guys though it was a good idea to cut him off from Fili."
There is a pause and then Gimli swears, "Is that why Fee's been such a fucking mess?" Ori just hums and Gimli makes a noise that Ori interprets as a whole lot of swearing being stopped by food.
"So, I have the address for one of their offices and our lovebirds are busy watching a movie…you wanna play friend-cavalry?"
Gimli agrees so quickly that Ori almost feels like he should remind the other that bringing any kind of weapon will get them arrested. Really though, he thinks, how bad can a night in jail be?
They arrive at the building, not as tall as Ori expected but then again, Denver isn't like a lot of larger cities with all the high rises. He thinks it's got something to do with the mountains, and the fact that most the state seems to be hippies at heart, Coloradoans love their sky.
Gimli finds a parking space that's not too far away and they feed the meter what change they have. Ori leads the way into the building and they find the office they need easily enough despite the looks the administrative assistant is giving them.
Gimli knocks a bit harder than needed and they wait a few moments before the door is opened to reveal an older man with white hair and a neat white beard. "Balin Fundinson?" Gimli almost growls.
The man nods, "At your service." And Ori spots another man behind him, "Nori?" He asks and his brother frowns at him, "What're you doing here?"
Gimli shoots him a look but Ori shakes his head, "My brother, barely hear from him these days. Do you work for him?" Ori gestures to Balin and directs his question at Nori, who shakes his head.
"We both work P.R for a band, pretty big too." Ori glares and Gimli pushes past Balin into the room, Ori on his heels.
"Right. That would be Kili and his group yes?" Ori asks, getting a surprised nod from Nori and a calm one from Balin.
Gimli's loud breaths don't seem to be tipping the older man off to what they're visits about because he tells them, "I'm afraid if you want autographs or information we cannot provide them."
Ori puts a hand on Gimli's shoulder to keep him from strangling anyone. "Good, keep 'em. Kili's in my living room right now with our bestfriend and my roommate who you sent into a depressive spiral with your meddling."
Nori catches on then, "You live with Kili's new boyfriend…Fili is it? He's caused us a good bit of grief, might be best if you ask him to sod off."
Ori glares and removes his hand from Gimli's shoulder, allowing the much more violent friend to take over. Gimli has two handfuls of Nori's shirt and is lifting him just a bit off the ground while yelling in under thirty seconds and Ori is slightly impressed with the way Balin just leans back.
"Tell him too…YOU PRICK! HE WASN'T EVEN SLEEPING BECAUSE YOU LOT MADE HIM THINK THAT THE FIRST PERSON HE'S BROUGHT HOME IN YEARS JUST WANTED A ONE-TIME THING."
Balin clears his throat and Gimli's head whips around. "It had to be handled carefully and we know what we're doing now, Kili is often rash so I took precautions. Besides there is a high chance that this will fall apart, he has been dated for the attention it garners before."
Nori, who has an apparent death wish, adds, "Yeah, who says your friend isn't just with him for the fame?"
Ori remembers suddenly why he never bothers talking to his brother, though Nori is a good person he can be a real dick.
Gimli presses the P.R rep into the wall, "FILI WOULD NEVER! I DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT YOUR BOY BUT OURS IS FUCKING IN LOVE AND IF YOU EVER, EVER INSULT HIM LIKE THAT AGAIN…" Gimli takes a deep breath and his voice comes out evenly as he sets Nori down again, "I'll pull your insides out through your nose." Then he stomps out.
Ori sighs, "Look, just let him give Fili warning next time." Balin nods even as Nori glares at the door, "That's more than allowable. Now you'd better catch your friend before he terrifies poor Susan."
Nori catches Ori's wrist lightly before he can do just that, "Sorry…give me a call sometime?" Ori shrugs, "I'm sure I'll have to." But he offers his brother a tiny smile and goes after Gimli.
Balin turns to Nori, "I think it's safe to assume this Fili's not just in it for Kili's spotlight, don't you?" Nori nods, "With friends like that he'd better be. My brother's no fool, even if he can be sweet as a kitten."
Balin picks up the phone, "I feel like we should warn Thorin that this is not going to be a passing fling."
Nori grins, "That's not a bad thing, the kid needs someone who can keep him from binging through Netflix and Ben n' Jerry's when he's not performing."
