Chapter 8: Durin's celebration

Blue. Durin. Your dress for Durin's celebration is the same blue as Thorin's regular royal attire. He really dared to do that to you! And of course, you don't have any other dresses since you were relying on this one.

The festivities begin tonight and two dwarrowdams have picked you up while you are working. When they showed you your dress, you didn't know who was the most embarrassed between them and you. They helped you get dressed and then they left, leaving you alone with the same items from last year's celebration. This time around, you have had time to learn how to use them. You know how to style your hair and how to put on makeup! Thanks Dís!

Once ready, you look at yourself in your mirror. The dress is sublime but you are not sure if it really suits you. You look like a poor human dressed as a princess. How many gems are there on this dress? Not to mention the accessories... You would make a fortune selling just one piece of the outfit. Ah but no, you are already rich with what Thorin gave you following the recapture of Erebor. In any case, you can breathe in this one!

Getting back to the festivities, Dís had let you know she was managing a lot of things this year, and she could not come to get you. Tauriel is already busy managing Kíli. So, you are planning to go there with colleagues you usually work with. You have been in Erebor for a year now, and you have made friends with some dwarrowdams and dwarves.

The time to meet up with your colleagues is approaching and you leave where you have planned to join them. Some are already there and you wait for the last dwarrowdam to arrive. At first, they have a hard time recognizing you since the change is drastic. Yet, they all give you compliments. You even blush.

Once the last person arrives, you go to the hall of festivities. The party has already started well! Some are no longer at their first beer! As you watch the room, you see some of the former members of Thorin's company laughing, drinking, and eating. Others like Kíli and Tauriel are already dancing. He isn't going to let go of her tonight, that's for sure! You see Fíli in the distance eating alongside young dwarrowdams and dwarfs. To finish your observation, Thorin, seated at the back of the room, has been watching you since you entered. You smile at him and nod. You barely see his expression from where you are but you can see him respond to your nod. On the other hand, his dance will wait because you are starving!

With your colleagues, you sit on a table for dinner and wine tasting. Just tasting, right? Some people prefer beer, but dwarf beer is not really your thing. The meal is very good and your discussion lasts a long time. You have a great time with them. Chatting over a good meal is nice compared to working days! Little by little, the meal ends and your colleagues go dancing. There was no way you were going to ask Thorin to dance with you! If he wants his dance, he just has to come and get it. During your meal, you watched him from time to time and he didn't move from his seat.

You laugh when you see Kíli and Tauriel are still dancing. They look so happy. Your observation is cut off by someone sitting next to you saying "Would you do me the honor to dance with me?". You are surprised to see it is one of your colleagues. A young dwarf with whom you get along very well. You were going to accept by putting your hand on the one he was holding out to you but someone grabbed yours first.
