"Are you mad!" He yelled at her but she pulled from his arms.
"Kili trust me! They have our scent! This is the only way!" and then she was gone off the tree falling towards the ravine. Kili who was freaking out, just seeing her fall, had jumped over after her in an attempt to save her. He didn't think she knew that dwarfs could not swim, except a small few, one being him, but he hoped she could swim well enough to keep herself afloat. Verya had not thought about that and soon figured out that she could not swim at all.
"Kili!" She yelled as she struggled to keep herself afloat. She knew dwarfs couldn't swim but she had hoped that the fast moving water was deep. She felt herself begin to slip into the water when Kili grabbed her around the waist and pulled him up onto the shore. The had traveled quite far thanks to the water, but they were exhausted from trying to not drown.
Verya and Kili lied on the grass trying to breathe air into their lungs. Verya was freezing her clothes were soaked and the water was freezing cold too. Being an elf she was on the skinny side so her body went colder faster than Kili's. He heard her shivering and shaking from the cold and decided he would take the lead now. He got up off the grass and walked over to her small figure. He new they needed to find shelter now as the sun was almost set. He quickly looked around and found that he was in an old abandoned village, probably of Man. He bent down and scooped her into his arms and started towards the cluster of rubble. She was freezing, more cold than Kili could have thought. None of the rubble houses would work, all would either collapse or offer no shelter. He set her down and walked towards what appeared to be a hill. Frightened that she was being left alone, Verya quickly stood up, shakily. She stumbled in the direction he went and had to force down a scream as he showed up right in front of her.
"Come on elfling, I found us shelter" He spoke to her softly, still not knowing her name. The reached the odd hill and she turned to him confused. She was about his height but she appeared smaller because of the fact that she was a female and not as muscular as him. He smiled for the first time at her then bent down and opened a door to the hill. She was very confused and the emotion showed on her face. He laughed and pulled her in, more sober and weary now. The small dwarf house appeared to be empty.
"What is this place.." Verya asked softly, placing a hand on Kili's arm. This small touch sent jolts of electricity through Kili, a feeling he was very unfamiliar yet completely familiar with. As he jumped a bit forward, shocked by the contact, her hand dropped.
"Uh, this appears to be an old and very unused dwarf home." He looked around and found a little lamp, still filled with oil. He picked it up and lit it, heading forwards in the home. The paint was faded and the cupboards bare. There was a table and three chairs in what looked to be the kitchen as well as an over and sink. He continued through to the single bedroom and happily found the bed intact and not eaten by mice or moths. He walked back towards the elf and a feeling of warmth filled him. She had taken both his and her pack and emptied the contents, letting them dry and then sat down on one of the chairs, staring deep into thought. He walked around her and sat in the other chair.
"Whats your name, elf?" He was far from curious and desperately wanted to know. She smiles and looked at him with her piercing greeny blue eyes.
"Verya Lothiriel, elfish huntress" She smiles shyly and looked down slightly. He smiled and asked his next question for her.
"How did you know my name?" He asked, slightly annoyed. She picked up on his emotions and deflated a little, she had upset him.
"When I was following you I heard your brother call out to you a lot" She smiled lightly, knowing this was a tense topic for him and tried to ease his nerves a little. He understood and asked her one final question.
"Where are you from, Verya?" He asked soflty, confused about her appearance.
"I am born from the Akiri tribe, deep in the forest. We are a very anti social tribe to put it nicely. We live alone or with small family, and don't often see many others of our kind" She spoke, looking at him politely. Kili had heard about that tribe from his uncle but had never met one before. He smiles at her and stood up, heading in the direction of the bedroom.
"You should get some rest, we leave first thing in the morning" He called from the bedroom. Verya became increasingly uncomfortable. She had been with this man all day, and had learned much about him, but could she trust him enough to share the bed with him? She sighed and headed to the room. She was too tired to protest. As she approached the room a couple thoughts buzzed around in her brain, What should I do? Should we share the bed? I just met him! But I'm very tired… She peered into the room to see the warm glow of the fire and a nice warm bed, with a very handsome dwarf at one end. He was turned with his back to her, so she wouldn't see his smirk a small blush lit his face.
Verya walked over towards the bed and pulled herself into the other side. She kept her clothes firmly intact, mainly because she was shivering. Even with the fire it was cold and dark, both things Verya didn't like much of at all. Kili realized her shivering again and rolled towards her. Her back was to him but even in the dark he could see her shaking form. He slithered his arms around her waist, making her jump slightly, and pulled her back to his chest.
"You're freezing Vey" he whispered, pulling her closer to him. She wasn't sure how to react, and was very surprised by the nickname. She thought it was very sweet and a light blush lit her face. The warmth of his body kept her warm and soon she fell asleep, happily dreaming of a certain beardless dwarf.
