"And where do you think you are going young man?"
"Nowhere.", came Kili's automatic response, as he quickly spun around. A mask of innocence already plastered on his face.
The older women stood near the door. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she shook her head in a disapproving manner. Kili felt like he had been caught with one hand in a cookie jar. Strangely he'd missed this feeling a lot.
Dis lifted an eyebrow, indicating that the lad might reconsider his answer, cause she wasn't buying it. At all.
After a short stare down Kili gave in.
"Fine. I was trying to climb out the window."
"That I saw.", she sighed. "Fili told me you probably would do some irresponsible things like this..."
The mention of her oldest son darkened the mood significant. Since Fili had left, the boy had calmed a bit, but he was still ready to jump at any sign.
"You shouldn't be mad at him. He did what he thought was best."
She watched the brunette getting clumsily back to bed and took a seat next to it.
"While you were unconscious he was sitting here the entire time..."
Kili continued to stubbornly ignore the topic.
"He really likes you, you know."
"I know...", Kili finally admits.
It's not Fili who is the problem, he thought bitter, withdrawing further into himself.
"Now enough with those dark thoughts.", Dis interrupted. "I got you something to eat."
With that she took the bowl of soup she had brought with her and pressed it into the boys hands.
"Be careful it's hot."
Kili looked up and gave her an unsure smile.
"Thanks."
In this moment she realized how young the lad truly was and it worried her greatly. For Fili he was his mate, a fighter and another strong alpha. But not for her. All Dis could see was a boy. A boy in his late teens, scared shitless and covered in scars.
She sighed again.
Her son would have a hard way ahead, but maybe it was worth it.
