They made it to Ered Mithrin two days later. They still had one wall of mountains to cross before they made it to the tallest mountain in the Withered Heath—the orcs' hideout. They were attacked by orcs multiple times, more and more frequently. They had three dwarves on watch each night, just in case someone were to fall asleep.
That night, Lulyn, Bombur and Ori were on first watch...Bombur and Ori both fell asleep, leaving Lulyn to watch. Her eyelids dropped, but she managed to stay awake, she was too nervous, being this close to the orcs. That day, Thorin had told the company they were going to keep traveling through the mountains and go around the valley, figuring they could use the cover of the mountains to their advantage. Lulyn stroked
Kor's feathers. He chattered approvingly as she did so. A twig snapped behind Lulyn and she spun around, seeing Kili standing there. She relaxed and turned back to watching. "Sorry." He apologized, sitting down next to her.
"It's fine." She sighed, leaning back against a rock.
"What's the matter?" Kili asked.
Lulyn sighed. "It's been a weird few days." She told him.
"Every day is an adventure with the company." He smiled and winked at Lulyn. She tried to return his smile, but she could only give him a half smile.
"So, this whole 'quarter elf' thing, tell me more." Kili said.
Lu sat forward and rested her chin on her hands.
"Well, there's not much to tell. My father was half elf and my grandmother was a full blooded elf." She told. "I was taught many elven things, such as shooting a bow and I've been taught all about Mereth en Gilith. Though, my father hated elves. He never told me why though. I also know Elvish, Khuzdul and of course, the common tongue." She said.
"Elvish?" Kili asked. Lulyn nodded. "Teach me some elvish." He said with a smile.
Lulyn thought. "Well, greetings is 'suilon' and farewell is 'novaer'."
Kili nodded. "What else do you know?" He asked.
"Well, we'd be here for a while if I told you everything I knew. But there is... 'Cormlle naa tanya tel'raa' which means 'your heart is that of a lion' and there's My bow shall sing with your sword,
'Cuanin linduva yassen megrille' ." She paused. "Oh, and of course, there's 'Anin mela lle'".
Kili looked at her. "What does that mean?"
Lu smiled and looked up at the stars. "I love you...uh, er, that's what it means." She cleared her throat and turned a little red. She hoped is wasn't noticeable.
Kili couldn't help but smile. "That's cool. Y'know, I've always sorta had a thing for elves."
Lulyn raised her eyebrows. "Really? Well, then you won't mind finishing up first watch for me." She said, patting him on the back and standing up. Kili was going to argue, but Lulyn hurried off before he could. He smiled, then looked out into the night, smiling to himself about Lulyn. Maybe this time he had a chance.
