Here's the story

I sat in a boat, staring at the stone Galandriel had given me. My eyes grew narrow as I stared at the stone.

Why would he give me this?

I squinted my eyes a bit more and flipped the smooth stone over. My eyes widened as I saw Thorin's seal perfectly carved and smoothed into the stone.

Pippin tilted his head. "What's so fancinating? It's just a stone."

I closed my hand, smiling. "It's more than that. He accepted me."

Merry's brows furrowed. "Pardon me, but who accepted you?"

I smiled, looking away, and I got out of the boat. "You won't get to meet him."

"Bre." Caleniel smiled, holding a small brown bag. "We've got so much more than we need. Everything we need is ours. Isn't it great?"

"Yes, but I must speak to Galandriel. Is she done speaking to Gimli?"

"I don't know..." Caleniel examined the boat. "What's wrong?"

"I need to ask her something quickly."

Caleniel smiled, stepped onto the boat, and placed the bag into the boat. "Well, I'm sure you'll get your answer." She stepped back onto the dock but tripped.

Legolas caught her arm and moved the boat closer to the dock. He let out a small laugh. "You're still as clumsy as you used to be." He pulled her onto the dock.

Caleniel stood up straight. "Not really. You were the one falling out of trees thousands of times more than I did when we played the ground is fire."

Legolas looked down, letting out a small laugh. "True, but that was clumsy."

Caleniel laughed and placed a hand on his shoulder. "It's all right. Only they know that I was a better tree-jumper than you." She jerked her head toward us.

Legolas laughed, locking his gaze with Caleniel. He looked down at the bags on the dock. "You should find Gimli. We're to leave soon."

"Right." Caleniel nodded and left.

Legolas's eyes followed her for a long while. He looked down at the bags and tried to imagine what was in them.

"Oh, come on!" I rolled my eyes.

"What?" Legolas's eyes narrowed.

I sighed. "How blind are you?" 

"Excuse me? I have the best eye sight amoung you children." Legolas let out a small laugh. 

Pippin laughed. "You might want to rethink that. I saw that, and you not knowing is making me look smarter than you." 

Merry laughed. "And that's saying something."

Legolas frowned. "I have no idea what you two are talking about. I saw nothing."

"Didn't you just say that you had the best eyesight?" I smiled.

Legolas sighed. "Well played." He bent down and got a few bags, throwing them into the boat. He stopped at the third bag and smiled. He pulled out bread that was in the bag. "Lembas. Elvish way bread." He took a small bite of the bread. "One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man." He placed the bag into the boat and left.

I huffed.

"How many did you eat," I heard Merry ask Pippin.

I looked at Pippin, who was smiling.

"Four," Pippin replied.

I let out a small laugh as Merry nodded and picked his own teeth. There was a strange-fart sound, and Merry and I looked at each other.

"Nope." I got out of the boat and walked another one. I sat beside it.

Sam smiled at me as he approached me. "Ready to go?"

I shook my head. "I need to ask Galandriel a question."

Sam got into the boat and it rocked. He froze until the boat sat still again and moved. He froze again until the boat sat still.

I laughed and turned, facing Frodo. He looked tired and confused. He looked at me with the most puzzled expression, but he said nothing. It was like he was here and somewhere else at the same time.

"Uh... You can get in the boat too. I have to see Galandriel." I began walking away, sighing with relief.

"There you are." Aragorn grabbed my arm. "You'll be riding with me. I have questions to ask."

"What?" I blinked. "But I have to ask Galandriel something."

Aragorn sighed. "Everyone has boarded, and--."

I wasn't focusing on what Aragorn was saying anymore.

Do as he says. I know of your question. You want to know why I called you by your proper title, but you do not believe it is your title at all. It is true, you did not marry Thorin II Oakenshield, and it is also true that another took his place after his death. But one thing remains, that you were to be his wife, and you would have ruled as the Queen of Durin's Folk. However, the choice to let the world see you with that title is yours. I know of a few of Thorin's allies that would help you obtain that. However, will you let go and move on? Or will you stay in the past and claim what could have been yours with Thorin? You can claim that title without causing any harm to any of the Dwarf kin. Simply seek it, and it will be yours. That choice is now up to you, Bre Gwall.

"Are you well," Aragorn asked. "You haven't answered any of my questions."

I blinked. "I have all my answers. Let's go. I've stalled our party for too long."
