Soulmates

Alone time

Elysian P/O/V:

I lean against the wall flipping a small knife absentmindedly while I wait for Thorin "Sorry I'm late love, had to take care of something." I smile kissing his cheek "Your not late I'm simply early. Where are we going?" he holds out a basket "Somewhere we can be alone." he takes my hand in his and we walk up through Erabor to the door we first used to get in pulling it too behind us.

We sit down and Thorin opens the basket "Are you alright, you seem tense?" he smiles softly "I'm fine love I promise." I lean over kissing his cheek "I love you." he grins "I love you too." 

"Are you hungry?" I shrug "I could eat a little." he chuckles laying out various breads, cheese and grapes. I pick up a couple of grapes shuffling back "Catch." he rolls his eyes slightly but opens his mouth, I throw the grape up and arches gracefully up before landing in his mouth. I laugh "Beautiful." he chuckles "Your turn." he throws up a grape which I catch easily smiling brightly. We finish the food and I lay back with my head in his lap the sun warm on my face. Thorin runs his fingers through my hair smiling

Turning my head to the side slightly we look out over towards Dale and in the far distance Lake Town. Dale has almost been returned to its former glory, most of the major buildings fixed or rebuilt. I can hear the faint sounds of shouting and laughing from the city streets drifting on the light breeze. Everything is peaceful and serene. 

"Are you looking forward to the ball?" I sigh "I can't remember the last time I danced." he chuckles "Do you enjoy dancing?" I nod "I loved dancing, wasn't much call for it here. Except the odd time I stayed with the elves." Thorin sighs "I was never very good at dancing." I push myself up offering out my hand "Then we had better practice, wouldn't want you to make a fool of yourself." 

He takes my hand and I place my free one on his shoulder his landing on my waist. "There is no music?" I laugh and take a deep breath beginning to hum a soft tune as we waltz around "You dance wonderfully." he chuckles "Thank you, though not as gracefully as you." I grin "I've had years more practice." he tilts his head slightly "How old are you?" 

I laugh gasping "One should never ask a ladies age." he chuckles and I sigh "Well lets see, Ranon is 2035 and I'm 12 years older then I'm 2047." his eyes widen slightly and I chuckle "In human terms I am around 25. I'd advice not telling your nephews my age I doubt they would let you live it down." he smiles softly kissing me gently "That is true." I wrap my arms around his neck yelping when a light rain starts to fall. 

He laughs and I tip my head back the rain warm on my face. "We should head inside love, I don't want you catching a cold." I pick up the basket and we duck inside shaking of the worst of the rain. We walk back to our room and Thorin kisses my knuckles gently "I'll run you a bath love."
