Thorin strained to see his nephew but when he saw him, he wished he hadden. Fili wasn't crying, weeping or moaning. He was sitting in the far corner of his little room staring out in to nothing, hands limp in his lap. What scared Thorin most was his heir's face. It was slack and pale, almost lifeless, his eyes were somehow paler too, as if the loss of the dwarf he had know his whole life had leeched the colour from his usually piercing blue iris'. His gaze was empty, empty of emotion, or of anything. Thorin knew that his shell that used to be Fili would never be the same again, not with such a whole in his heart. The brothers had always been a pair, never alone since the death of their father. Whenever some one was complaining about their pranks or looking for the two it had always been: 'The Durin brothers' or 'The heir pair'.
"Thorin?"
Thorin jumped out of his skin at the voice that came from nowhere. But he knew that voice, he knew it but he never thought he'd hear it again. "Bilbo? Bilbo is that you?"
The half-ling appeared round the side of the cell, silly smile in place, "The one and only! Sorry, I was so long, I had to get past the guards!"
"B-b-but how did you...where did you...What?" Thorin blustered.
"Well, you don't need to worry about that!" Bilbo slipped something back in to hs pocket. "I have a plan to get you out, where is everyone?"
"Oin, Gloin are just down this corridor. Bofur, Bifur, Bombur and Ori and Dori are bellow us. Nori, Dwalin and Balin are above. Fili is opposite us, there." Thorin indicated each direction as he said them.
Bilbo nodded, then frowned, "Wheres Kili? With his brother, I assume." he turn towards the blondes cell, freezing at the sight of the lonely dwarf. "Thorin, where is Kili?"
"Kili...Kili's not here, Bilbo." Thorin shook his head and whispers, "He was killed by the elves. Don't mention his name to Fili, he could kill you."
Bilbo gulped, glancing at the silent, but still deadly, dwarf who was now staring at him.
"I will be back with the keys, spread the word." he approached Fili, warily, "I will try to find him, you never know. They could be lying."
Fili gazed at him for a moment, before turning to face the wall, shoulders hunched. Bilbo looked back at Thorin, who shook his head sadly, "Just go, see what you can do."
Bilbo nodded and turned away.
As soon as the burglar had left, Thorin turned back to his heir, "It is rude to ignore people, you know Fili."
He didn't answer.
"It is even worse to ignore your kin,"
He still didn't answer.
"But ignoring your future King is a crime." Thorin through a small stone that hit Fili in the blonde head. At that Fili responded for the first time in hours. He stood calmly, turning on the spot to face his uncle.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Be quiet. Be quiet because you know what I feel." his voice cracked from non-use. "Remember what happened your brother, then try and speak to me again." With that he sat back down, back to the world. With that Thorin remembered.
No, Fili! He's not in the best mood, as can be expected. Thorins only trying to help!
Enjoy!
