Dinner that evening had been wonderfully filling and the laughter and conversation flowed around her as she sat next to Thorin staring into the fire. She was shaken out of her musings when Thorin spoke
"How long do you believe it will take Fili and Kili to come harass you about showing off your gifts?"
"I would say perhaps another five minutes"
"You give them longer then I do I would say 3 minutes tops"
"I will have to trust your judgments for you are close kin to them and have the advantage of knowing them far better than I"
As it turned out it was Restania who was right for five minutes after their discussion Fili and Kili came bounding over.
"Can you show us now, you did say this evening" Kili asked
"Yes bring me a bowl of water we have fire earth and air around us already."
They did as they were bid setting the water in front of her. "Can you not create the elements" Fili asked
"No I can only use what is already around me. That is why most elementals focus on air for it is always around you no matter where you are" They nodded showing understanding.
"Which would you like to see first?" She had asked the group for she had noticed that all eyes were now upon her waiting to see what she could do
"Water" The brothers answered in unison.
"Very well" She pulled the bowl in front of her and held her hand out palm down over it. Moving her hand up almost every dwarf gasped as the water started to follow it. Moving her other hand palm up under where the water ended she turned both her hands palms facing in and held it for a moment.
Moving her hands back to being over and under the water she held in suspension she moved her top hand in a circular motion causing the water to turn faster and faster until it turned into a mini water spout.
"That is so cool." She heard Kili say. She laughed and without warning threw the spout at the brothers soaking them both.
Laughter followed as they sputtered. She next waved her hand at the fire and it came to her wrapping around her arm up over her shoulder and down the other side.
Everyone stared for most were afraid of fire after the incident with the dragon. She made it form into the shape of a fiery bird and sent it flying around above them before she sent it back into the fire.
She was beginning to get to feel a little tiredness but it was not surprising making shapes from the elements took a lot.
"Earth or Air next?" She asked. This time Thorin answered "Earth for it is out of the mountain that we were formed"
It had given her an idea. She stood and headed to the boulder that sat at the edge of the cliff feeling all eyes on her. She smiled they would like this.
She lifted the rock by moving her hand up and as it was in the air she moved her hands in an intricate pattern. All the dwarves stared as the rock began to chip away as if a mason was chipping with tools soon she was done and sat the rock back down.
Staring they all moved forward for there, carved from the rock they had just seen was a dwarf. Not alive mind you but the statue was such a close likeness that you would have believed it could move.
"You can touch it. It will not break." Thorin looked back to see her laughing silently at the stunned looks all the dwarves were giving her.
"I will say this lass I would not like to get on your bad side if you can lift a rock that size with so little effort." Dwalin said looking between her and the rock dwarf.
This time the laugh was out loud "It took more effort than you would think master dwarf believe me." And it had for she was beginning to feel the strain one more element and then she could rest.
"So air is last if you gentlemen would kindly back away from the stone dwarf I would appreciate it." They did as she asked.
She moved about 10 feet from the dwarf statue and looked around "Thorin if you would do me the favor of standing beside me this will take quite a bit of energy and im not sure what should happen when I finish." He moved to her.
She took a deep breath and drew the air around her until it was compressed together in her hands. She then pushed it away from her aiming it at the statue which was pushed off the edge of the cliff and into the valley below.
Her legs gave out from under her as she finished and Thorin grabbed her pulling her to him keeping her upright. Scooping her up he sat her next to him where they had been sitting before her little show. All the dwarves stood around talking about her abilities and what she could do.
Gandalf had moved to stand next to her and Thorin "A mighty fine show you just put on there Lady Greenwood. You are a valuable asset to this company. You even managed to impress Dwalin which im told is a difficult task on the best of days"
She smiled "I am glad to see I will be of some use even if I do not know what that use is just yet."
Gandalf smiled back and moved off settling himself next to a tree and took out his pipe.
"Alright we leave at first light so get some rest" Thorin called out to the company before settling back against the rock wall.
Restania tried to settle but she just couldn't get comfortable. After moving around for several minutes she felt Thorin's arm wrap around her and pull her closer to him. She settled her head against his shoulder. "Thank you" she said quietly
"It seemed unwise to allow you to squirm all night and keep us both awake" Thorin responded. "Now sleep we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow."
Restania closed her eyes feeling the warmth coming from the body next to her and drifted to sleep.
