Content: Fluff, angst, rated T

Summary: You come from our world and arrive just before the quest for Erebor. You will accompany the company pretending to be a boy, yell at Thorin and all of Durin's heirs will survive.

Chapter 6: Journey to Dale

The festivities over, Erebor resumes its usual rhythm. Days pass then months. Still in the service of Erebor, you participate in several projects aiding or enhancing the mountain's reconstruction and often keep in touch with former members of Thorin's company. Fíli and Kíli still find time to annoy you. Princess Dís regularly invites you for tea or dinner with her, alone or with her friends. Thus, you gradually have acquaintances and even friends. Tauriel has become a friend of yours and she seems to have integrated Erebor. Especially since Thorin gets to deal with Thranduil properly.

Living under the mountain now for several months, you have your habits and your daily routine. However, one day, one of your projects asks you to go to Dale for a few days. Together with your colleagues, you organize a week-long stay in Dale with them. You are glad to go get some fresh air and see Bard and his children again. You let Dís know you are leaving in case someone asks you and you leave the next day.

The week gradually turns into two. The project is longer than you thought but you take the opportunity to visit Dale, partially rebuilt, with Sigrid and Tilda.

.

Departing in the morning, you and your colleagues return to Erebor at the end of the day. It was a pleasant trip, but you are happy to find your room.

You start by going to the room you are working in to drop off your things. As you enter, you see Kíli around your desk. Is he playing a joke on you again?

Kíli sighs and suddenly releases you. He rushes to get out. You don't understand what is happening to him, but it isn't the first time he has been running around Erebor for one of his harebrained ideas. After putting down your things, you go back to your room.

- "Kíli!" you shout, making him jump. "Don't touch my stuff!"

- "(Y/N)!" he yells, rushing over to you and grabbing your shoulders like he is afraid you are an illusion. It's you? Are you doing well?!"

- "What?" you ask, grimacing. "Yes, I'm fine. It's been a long trip, but I've seen worse."

Arriving a few meters from your bedroom door, you hear noisy footsteps running towards you. Someone calls out your name and you turn around. Most of the former company is in front of you, breathless, even Thorin. You are more than surprised, especially seeing their shocked and worried looks. What happened while you were away?

You don't have time to say anything as Thorin walks up to you and hugs you. As strong, even stronger, than the hug he gave Bilbo after the eagles. You are also very happy to see him, but not to the point of hugging him. You close your arms around Thorin's back, patting on it to reassure him.

- "Are you going to tell me what's going on?" you ask, breathing hardly because of the king's hug.

- "Are you hurt?" Thorin says, stepping back without letting you go.

- "Hurt? Not at all. I-"

- "Have you been kidnapped?" Dori asks.

- "Did you get lost?" Bofur asks.

- "When did you come back?" Fíli asks.

- "W-wait a minute. Let me breathe first."

- "She's right. She's fine, leave us now," Thorin orders curtly, turning the dwarves around.
