Bilbo had smiled at (Y/n) as they began another day in the saddle. The beautiful young woman quietly singing a song that she had told him she had learnt from one of her visions. It not in any tongue that he could understand, and the seer herself confessed that she didn't know what the song meant either; but whatever it was, it sounded wonderful. Even more so as it came from (Y/n)'s lips. Her voice making the thought of another long day, bearable.
Once Bofur had left Bilbo and (Y/n) alone, the hobbit had, as the dwarf had suggested, helped her with her hair. Though why it had been so amusing to the Company that were still sat with the hat wearing dwarf, neither of them had any idea. The pair just presuming that it was a dwarf thing that they were not privy too, as Bilbo did his best to braid (Y/n)'s hair, while she told him of her time in the temple; the hobbit having to think that it was sad that she couldn't recall her parents, that she had been kept away from the world outside; kept away from making friends, from finding someone that might love her, just because she had this amazing ability. An ability, that given what she had said, Bilbo could understand why (Y/n) would sometimes see it as more a curse than a gift. The hobbit hoping that during their time together, he would be able to be a good friend to her.......and.......maybe more............The thought having brought a bright blush to his cheek, that he was happy was hidden by the darkness of the night.
"Excuse me." A voice came, interrupting Bilbo's thoughts. The hobbit hoping that he wasn't blushing again, as he and (Y/n) looked to the dwarf that had pulled his pony to the side of the seer's horse.
"Glóin.........." The dwarf continued, introducing himself. Glóin nodding respectfully, as he looked at the young woman. The three of them pulling their mounts to a halt.
"I was.........I was wondering if you could see........." (Y/n) holding up her hand to stop him from saying anymore, before removing her glove and reaching out her palm.
"I don't need you to tell me what you want me to see, Master Glóin. Just place your hand in mine, and I will tell you what comes to me.........." The seer told him. The large red headed dwarf simply nodding, before doing as she bid. He and Bilbo watching, as the same smoke that the hobbit had seen before, enveloped her bright eyes.
"I........I see a.......a young dwarf. He has hair as red as yours; he is a good, strong, fine boy. He is running around a small home, scaring the chickens, as he shouts about fighting elves; and there is a female dwarf........stood in the doorway of the home, chastising him, as she wipes her hands on her apron........Gimli, she's calling him; telling him to stop his foolishness and come in for his supper. They are well, Master Glóin, both of them; but they miss you............" (Y/n) told the dwarf. Glóin quickly wiping away a tear from his eye, as he pulled his hand away from the seer.
"Thank ya, lass. I appreciate that." Glóin said, as (Y/n) shook the visions from her mind. A smile gracing her features, as she looked at the red head; happy to have seen something for once while in this Company, that wasn't all death and doom.
"You are quite welcome, Master Glóin. You really do have a lovely family." (Y/n) replied. The younger son of Gróin, nodding once more, before geeing on his horse.
"Oh, and Master Glóin......one more thing........." (Y/n) quickly catching up with him, with Bilbo close behind.
"When you and Gimli go to the council, don't let him use his axe. It will only shatter if he tries to use it to break the thing that the hobbit carries." The seer advised. Glóin and Bilbo just looking at one another, before the dwarf thanked her once again, and left the daughter of men and the hobbit, to ride on once more. Bilbo unable to stop himself from asking her about what she had just said.
"(Y/n)........what..........?"
"I don't know, Bilbo. I can see a mixture of things, sometimes. With Bofur last night, I saw the past and the future; the future events I can advise on, and they can be changed if people choose to listen. And with Glóin, I saw the present and the future. The present, how his family are coping while he is not there; and the future.......well, that future is a long time ahead. When his son Gimli, is much older. They are in a place that I have seen before in a vision; a beautiful place, yet there is something wicked that has been brought there, that must be destroyed. And.......and the hobbit....it is not you. I cannot tell you who it is; but he is a sweet thing, with a mop of dark hair. I'm sorry Bilbo, I know that sometimes things I say make no sense, right away; that they might not make sense for a long time to come. But I can only tell those that come to me, what I see." (Y/n) explained, with an apologetic look.
"Yet all this might mean one thing.........." The seer continued, as she watched Glóin talking, just like Bofur had, to the other dwarves. All of them muttering to one another, before looking back at her.
"It might mean that the others will talk to me too. And then you won't have to be stuck with me all the time." Bilbo about to tell her that he had no issue with being by her side all the time, until Gandalf called her to join him. He, just like Bilbo, wanting to know more about what she had said to Glóin.
