A/N: I know it's short, but I'm publishing the next part in like an hour! I just couldn't think while this was still there. Don't kill me! The next part will be up soon!
"We will stop here."
The men circled around the area. You surveyed the lot of it. The clearing was vast, but homely in some subconscious way.
"This area is safe? You're sure of it?" you said, looking outwards at the land.
Thorin turned himself to you in manner of annoyance. He raised his eyebrows.
"And why wouldn't it be?" he questioned.
"I only wonder," you started. "I've never set out a night in a clearing. The trees are my comfort. They are hiding."
"Well I have set out a night in a clearing, and I'd like to think I understand what I'm doing," he spoke sternly.
The echo of disarray and haste returned to the group as they went back to setting up camp.
"Nori and Ori, I assume you can collect kindling. Oin and Gloin, you two find resource of water…"
Thorin went about directing the group, and for the first time since you had them, you realized how impulsive your decision was. You knew non of these men except for Gandalf, and even then, no one could predict that wizard's ideas. You had almost no clue of what you had gotten yourself into, but there was not much to lose and not much to turn back to. You had decide on instinct, yet how much of your instinct could you trust? Before you could contemplate your choices to the point of turning back, you heard your name.
"And, (F/N) and Kili?" Thorin turned towards the both of you.
"Yes?"
"You two will take the first night shift."
