*two days later*
You wake up to Fili gentle shaking you. You put your arms up gesturing him to carry you.
"I'm not carrying you." He said with a half grin
"Pleeeeease! Just to wind?"
"That's the entire way!"
You pout. He sighs dramatically and you smile as he picks you up. You wrap your arms around his neck and nuzzle him. It was a cold morning. You didn't want him to put you down. He brought you to wind who nipped at him.
"Down wind" you say
"Quite a protective horse" he says petting her neck
"She's great" you say as you saddle up.
The day goes on and Thorin calls you and Fili to walk next to him.
"Now Fili. As future king you know you have to take a bride."
"Yes uncle I know." He says looking at you
"And we all know it's me" you say looking at Thorin.
"Exactly." Thorin says looking very serious. "This means you two need to mature and grow closer...." As he talks he looks back and forth between you and Fili and when his back is turned, you are making faces at each other behind his back. "... You will someday have to have children and pass down the line of Durin."
You and Fili look at each other realizing what he is saying is true. You both blush and look down.
"Ledia, I wish to speak to Fili alone, you are dismissed." With that you slowed your horse down and fell too the back of the line. Fili stayed up with Thorin and Kili. Soon you came across what looked like a raided house that was burnt down. Thorin decided it was a good place to stop, Gandalf didn't agree...
