They point their bows and arrows at each other, looking suspiciously at one another.
"Who are you?" the elf asks.
Thorin narrows his eyes, unsure if he should tell her his name or not. He decides to introduce himself.
"I'm Thorin Oakenshield. Who are you?" he asks her.
"I'm Fehlina of the Woodland Realm," she answers. "Are you gonna lower your bow?"
"Only if you are." Thorin looks at her.
They continue to stare at each other.
"Very well," Fehlina suddenly says. "Let's do it together. At the count of three."
"Lower or fire?" Thorin smirks.
"Don't tempt me," Fehlina says in a stern voice.
Thorin snaps out of his smirk and lowers his bow.
Fehlina doesn't.
"Aren't you gonna aim at something else?" Thorin asks.
"Sure; your arm, your leg, or maybe your gut," Fehlina answers, while moving her arrow to the named places.
"Stop that!" Thorin shouts.
"I was only kidding!" Fehlina says and finally lowers her bow. She doesn't really care for dwarves, not that they've ever harmed her or anyone close to her, but she's an elf, and elves don't like dwarves.
Thorin studies her. Even though he hates elves and everything they stand for, he finds himself attracted to this particular elf maiden. Not just because he's seen her naked, but because she seems fierce and tough. He likes that.
Fehlina gives Thorin a rather scrutinizing stare. He's rather handsome for a dwarf, and maybe a little taller. She feels her lips curl up into a small smile.
