Chapter 6.
Fili took his time before entering the main hall of the Iron Mounts’ castle. Kili didn’t force him and just waited for him to be ready to face Thorin. Finally, the blond dwarf sighed deeply and resigned himself to push the large oaken door.
Thorin’s head immediately turned to him, glaring daggers at him.
« Where were you ? What have you done ?! » He asked him huskily. « Answer me, Fili ! »
The blond ducked his head in submission, eyes locked to the floor.
« I did what I had been told to, Uncle. » He began quietly. « I went outside and- »
« And you dis

The sun was rising when you opened your eyes, cheek pressed against a solid torso. It took you a moment to realize where you were, and you even started when you felt the caress of a hand on your hair.
« Easy, beautiful. That’s just me. » Fili said, already awake.
You smiled faintly at him, cuddling. It’s been a while since you had such a good night. You were usually sleeping outside, and most of your nights were cold and uncomfortable. The mattress was a new experience, and you greedily enjoyed it. Not only for sleeping.
Fili had you several times after your trip in the garden, and you couldn’t de

Your stomach tightened under your hunger. You felt dizzy, and cold, and the moaning wind did nothing to improve your state. You curled up against the wall scratching your back, almost invisible, stuck as you were in this tight dead-end.
Footsteps suddenly brought you back to reality, and your head rose from your light blanket. A mother and her daughter were running to take shelter from the weather, stopping under the awning of a merchant.
You could tell by their clothes that they were from high nobility. The little girl especially, was drawing everybody’s attention by how shiny she was. Smiling and laughing of the mess in

Several years had passed now. Luvan and you have become the best friends ever. And she fulfilled her promise to came back to play with you almost every day. She also brought you pastries. A lot.
Even if she was the Princess of the Iron Throne, Luvan was still visiting you often. You never had a real house, a real place to belong to, and you were always wandering, exploring. But Luvan had a special skill, and she always found you, no matter where you were.
« My Lioness ! »
You started, recognizing the voice which was screaming your « name ». It was Luvan who gave it to you. Luvan used to refer to you und

The night was now falling, and the darker the surroundings get, the more anxious you were. Luvan had promised to be here at the beginning of the sunset, but she was still missing. And here you were, waiting in Rogon’s garden for your friend to show herself.
« Damn you, Luvan ! Where the fuck are you ? »
Something fell on your head, making you groan as the ladder finally hit the ground.
« Oops ! Sorry ! »
Raising your head, you shot her a resentful gaze. Luvan was finally at her balcony, giggling of her clumsiness. You climbed quickly to her and came into her room without a sound.
« You too
Thorin wouldn’t leave Bilbo’s side. He cradled the hobbit’s head and draped his furs over the small body that they had to strip for easy clean up. They moved Fili closer to the fire where the blond rested, his hand holding onto Bilbo’s. He couldn’t do much, but the least he could do was keep an eye on the hobbit when his uncle started to doze off.
Throughout the night Fili would hear things, weird things that made him wish that he could move on his own. He would struggle to sit up and when he did everything would fall quiet, even the jittery ponies. He would settle back down only to repeat the action a few min
