Chapter Three: Fili and Kili
It turned out Kili and Fili were among the ones the least nervous around Beorn.
In the beginning the skin-changer simply viewed them as a nuisance, often stumbling over and around the two, seemingly encountering them whenever he turned around. One brother practically never was without the other. While some of the dwarves had seemed tickled by the trio's odd dance, and the princes frequently flashed impish grins up at him before bounding away, the man had not been very amused. He grumbled into his beard half-heartedly about dwarves not staying out of his way.
Yet it was kind of flattering how they curiously followed him about constantly, asking tons of questions, gushing about his animals and beehives, watching in fascination as he carved. The way they turned their complete attention on him, growing quiet and still, wide eyes trained on him, as though he had stepped out of their childhood tales. The large man could envision them with little tails wagging back and forth in excitement.
So there really was nothing surprising about it when he bid goodnight to the company a week later and, in response to the princes' bright callings, he dubbed the two Golden Lion and Cute Puppy, to their great delight. And to his delight, they did not object at all to being ambushed with cuddles.
