Um. Hi?

Does this mean it's my turn to finally go on an adventure?

[sonof_thrain]

Seeking adventure, Kili? Aren't you already on one with our quest?

[morethanstubble]

I am but my writer never let me actually out of her headspace before!

[sonof_thrain]

Oh, is that so? Should we all run for the hills now? [He was teasing of course.]

[morethanstubble]

What? No! I can help you proudly now!

[sonof_thrain]

You already help me proudly, Kili. You and your brother accompanying us on our quest. You are from the line of Durin, brave blood runs in your veins.

[morethanstubble]

[Aww shucks, Thorin!]

I'm just pleased you allowed me to come with you.

[sonof_thrain]

I could not continue on the quest lacking you or Fili. You are my strong nephews and I will honour my sister by keeping you safe throughout.

[He gave his younger nephew a bear hug.]

[morethanstubble]

[Well have one right back!]

And you have my bow to see you through for as long as you need.

[sonof_thrain]

Aye, that's the spirit. Your bow and your quick eyes are all that we need on our quest.

[morethanstubble]

Remember you've said that when you grow angry with me.

[sonof_thrain]

Grown angry? [He chuckled deeply.]

Nay, I only lose my temper when you and your brother fight or become silly with one another.

[unexpected_adventures]

What other adventures would you want to go on, Kili?

[morethanstubble]

Many more, Master Baggins! I'd adventure for the rest of my life. What of you?

[unexpected_adventures]

Well, at the moment, one adventure is enough for me. More than enough. [He nodded and lit his pipe.]

Dragons. I can hardly believe it.

[morethanstubble]

I have heard that there are stranger things in this world than dragons.

[unexpected_adventures]

Stranger? Oh, I can believe it. Though, I do not want to experience anything strange, Kili. I want my armchair back.

[morethanstubble]

You have your whole life left to sit!

[unexpected_adventures]

Excuse me but- [He huffed.]

-I like my cosy fire and armchair. I know you wouldn't understand because you are a dwarf. Hobbits have different lifestyles to dwarves, Kili. We can't all be adventurous all the time.

[morethanstubble]

Fili's and my mum rather likes her armchair too. But you'd have never agreed to come if you hadn't really wanted to. You even ran to catch up!

[unexpected_adventures]

I know. [He took a puff from his pipe.]

Yes, that I do know. I ran because.....I can't live my whole life in my armchair. Gandalf told me that much.

I just......once this is all over, I'd like to sit in my chair again. That ia all.

[morethanstubble]

Fili and I will see you back to your home at the quest's end.

[unexpected_adventures]

That does ease my heart some. Thank you, Kili.

[coveredinrust]

Have fun with that.

[her tone implies that she's entirely unconvinced that'll actually happen.]
