Keona POV:
When I woke up the next day it was almost noon. I had an appointment with Navarion because we decided to do an extra training lesson every week. I wasn't really in the mood for a training but I decided to go to the forest glade when I had changed my clothes.
Fili POV:
When I woke up the most of us were already awake. I worried about my little brother Kili. He seemed to be in love with a girl he could never be with. I have to admit that she is a beautiful and strong girl and I wouldn't mind if they were in a relationship but Thorin thinks very different about that. Everytime the word elf mentioned his mood changed. I could understand him and his thoughts but somehow everybody have to forgive even a Thorin Oakenshield. I could understand Kilis feelings, not to 100% because I never was in love yet but I could understand that he felt patronized. I didn't know if Thorin knew about his feelings for Keona so I didn't talk with him about that. I just wanted to protect him because everybody knows that Thorin can get very angry about things he don't like.
I stood up, stretched and went out of my room. The sun was shining. I tried to find Kili because I wanted to apologise for yesterday. He sat on a bench and starred in the sky. "Good morning little brother", I said friendly. "Morning", he mumbled. I noticed that he was mad at me. "I'm really sorry Kili. I didn't want to interrupt you but if Thorin had found…". "If Thorin had found us I would have told him everything", he interrupted me. "And then what? Do you want to argue with him? That would not be helpful. Neither for our mission, nor for our family". "I don't care about that", he yelled. "I cant wait until our uncle married me with a girl I didn't even know or like".
"I understand, but I just wanted to let you know that I wouldn't care if you were in a relationship with her", I said with a smile. "Wait… You wouldn't care?", he asked shocked. "No, because I don't think that all elves are bad, but you have to be careful because of Thorin, you know his hate against them". "Yes I know, I hope that someday he can forgive them…", he said. "I hope that too. Don't let us argue about this any longer okay? Just be careful". He smiled at me. "Okay, thank you my brother." "Come, lets eat something, I'm starving", I laughed. "That's a good idea", he said. Then we both went for something to eat.
Keona POV:
Today I was happy when the training was over. I was very unfocused because I was thinking of Kili all the time. That wasn't normal anymore. When Navarion asked me what was wrong I said that I was just tired. I didn't want that he knew about my feelings for Kili. I was almost dark when I walked down the hallways to my room. When I went past to my fathers room I heard voices. The voices belonged to my father and Lindir. I didn't want to listen to their words but somehow I stopped next to the room and listened. The door was opened a little bit so I could hear every word they said. "It cant go on like this. Rivendell sinks into a massive chaos since the dwarfs are here", I heard Lindir say. "What do you exactly mean?", my father asked. "Well first, the flying food on the common dinner, then, the bath in our fountain and the at least the attack by the orcs and we have not enough food for everybody", he said. He has always complains constantly. "But Lindir, they are our guests. What would you do with them?". "I would sent them away, they are only a burden". "I understand. But I cant sent them away so fast. That would be rude", my father explained. "Well, Lord Elrond then you can see Rivendell sink into the biggest chaos ever", he said. While saying this he stood up. I was shocked by his words. But I knew that he always dramatized everything. Nevertheless I stopped listening to them in that moment and went quickly back from where I came.
I had to think about what my father would do. I stopped when I saw Kili. "I have to tell him what I heard", I thought. "Kili!", I yelled. He stopped and looked at me. "Kili, wait", I quickly went over to him. "Keona, whats the matter?", he asked. I was out of breath. "I have to tell you something". "Keep calm, lets find a place to sit down", he said with a soothing voice. We went over to the fountain and sat down on the stones of the fountain. "So, now in rest. Whats up?", he asked with a smile. "I heard my father and Lindir talking about you and your company", I said. "Wait? You eavesdropped them?", he asked. "No! I mean, yes, but that's not the point". "The point is that Lindir is strong against your stay here. He complained about several things of your behavior and I don't know what my father is going to do with you", I added. "I understand, Maybe it would be better if I tell it Thorin… What do you think about that?", he asked. "Yes, I think it would be good if he knows about that", I agreed. "Okay, then I will do that", he said with a smile. "Good, I think it would be better if I go now, its already late", I said while standing up.
"Keona!". "What?". "Where can I find you when I have news?", he asked. I thought about where I can meet him. "Well, maybe you can come to my room tomorrow evening? You remember our eating hall right? When walk down the hallway which leads to it, turn onto left, walk down this hallway, turn onto right, walk through the next hallway and turn again onto right it is the second door on the right side. There is a little green leaf painted on it. You will find it", he explained to him. "And make sure that nobody sees you, okay?", I added. He smiled. "I will be careful", he promised. "Okay, then I will see you tomorrow", I smiled back. "Fine, sleep tight", he said. "You too", I said and turned around. Then I went to my room, closed the door and walked over to my bed. I layed down on it. "I never thought I will invite him into my room", I thought with a big and proud smile on my face. After a few minutes I fell asleep.
