After Tauriel said it, she couldn't believe she had just admitted it out loud. Kili looked stunned by her response, and she new she shouldn't have told him. Especially not now. He just found out his brother and uncle were dead. She immediately stood up and left the room. Kili didn't try to stop her from leaving. She decided to go out into the forest to clear her head. She had barely gone into the forest when she heard someone behind her. She turned, and saw Legolas. "Tauriel, where are you going? I haven't seen you since the battle". She really just wanted to be alone and think. "I'm checking to make sure there are no more orc or goblin left in the forest" Tauriel replied. She had no intension of telling him why she had really wandered into the forest. "I'll come with you. I was sent out to do the same thing".Tauriel nodded. She had no reason not to let him come. Besides, she could use the distraction. Once they searched the nearby area of forest and found it clear they started heading back. Tauriel knew she would have to go see Kili again to check on him. She was worried how he would react. At lake town he had been really sick and might not have realized what he had been saying. Or maybe he didn't even remember asking her. When they got back, Legolas went off to report to his father that the forest was clear. Tauriel decided to go back to see Kili. When she got there he was sitting up, and tossing his rune stone. She walked over to the bed and sat down on it. "I'm sorry about what I said before, it was not the right time and...". Tauriel was cut off when Kili leaned forward and lightly kissed her. After a few seconds, she pulled back, slightly shocked. Neither of them said anything for a while. They just stayed there in each others company. Suddenly Tauriel realized something. "Thorin and Fili are dead". Kili looked at her confused. "Thank you for reminding me" he said. "No sorry, that's not what I meant" Tauriel told him. "Kili, your king under the mountain".
