Today, the diplomats have finished negotiations with the new King under the Mountain, and will return to Mirkwood. I will not return with them.
Kili, in the heat of battle, I drew a weapon against my lord and king. It was wrong of me, and as a result, I have lost my position as Captain of the Guard. I cannot return to Mirkwood; there is nothing for me there. Where now shall I go? Is there any place left for me in Middle Earth, any home for a lost and lonely girl?
Where have you gone, Kili?
Can I follow you?
Wish you were here,
Tauriel.
