After Thorin  had went into his room, the others  followed suit,their faced full of worry for their female companion . Though  one  perhaps more then the others. Kili leaned against  the door and stared into the room, his hands clenched at his sides. The blood on his person was now dried and he began to undress his mind wandering  to what had happened.
"Go!"Kili hesitated before he ran to his uncle . His uncles eyes widened  as he stared past him "Silver!!" He had cried . Kili turned in time to see a warg pounce at Silver when she had fell and rolled to the ground her cloak in the Wargs mouth.  Him and Thorin rushed back, his breath in his throat as the warg pounced again  on the woman. Hearing  her scream was shattering.  It was piercing  and full of pain .
Thorin pulled the rider down and with a clean cut , sliced of its head. Pulling  the dying  warg off of her, he saw her shoulder  was covered in blood, but her tunic over her belly was in tatters the chain mail had been pierced as well blood pooling beneath  her.

Pulling  her gently up his heart squeezed at her cry of pain." Come on Silver  stay with me now." He said as Thorin stayed behind  them to cover for them . Getting  to the passage,Kili  wrapped his arms around  her and jumped,sliding  down with Silver on top of him.
The others  gasped at the blood " it's not mine. "  He  lay her down quickly, placing  her head in his lap.

Oin frowned  " I'm sorry lassy." He pulled out his dagger and cut up her tunic  and the blade when threw the damaged chain mail with ease.  Gently moving them aside , the others looked  away respectively  from her bare torso ,though  she had a cloth wrapped around  her breasts.

Fili  knelt next to Kili  his hand on the nape of his neck and pressed his forehead  to his " She will be fine. " He said to him gently . Kili stroked her hair when he heard a whimper of pain. His hands stilled when he felt a soft point  of  her ears.  Slowly, he looked  up  at Thorin,  who  was glaring  up at the opening,when the sounds of hoofbeats filled their ears.

"Gandalf! Your company  can come.....Elvedui! !" A brunette  elf  had slid down and had been smiling  when it turned to worry and anger when his eyes rested on the female. 'Elvedui? ' Kilis hands threaded through  her hair gently when the elf looked at Kili ,Kili  nodded and gently lifted her head up gently to help the elf pick her up gently. Watching  him cradle her to his chest he swallowed  down anger shaking  his head slightly.

Watching  the elfs interaction he turned to Thorin  "You knew..."Kili said softly 'that she was an elf.' Were the unspoken words between them.  Thorin nodded "Aye....I knew."

Kilis eyes were closed for he had mindlessly  went into the washroom and was laying  in  the tub of warm water. A knock echoed the washroom and he muttered a soft come in. Fili  opened the door already washed and in clean clothes, ones made for dwarves Kili  noted numbly. The golden haired prince walked over and knelt by the tub.   Tilting  the brunettes head back he gently began to wash his hair, no words needed between  the two. Their closeness may be odd slightly  amongst  dwarves, but they had always looked out for one another  and knew what the other needed when troubled.

Gently running  his hands through  his younger brothers hair, Fili untangled his hair gently and braided the sides and held the two braids while replacing the clips.  Gently taking his hands he washed what red was still on them, feeling  Kilis eyes on him. "Fee.....she will be alright. ..right?" The soft question  hung in the air as Fili raised his eyes meeting  his brothers. A soft smile graced his lips and he nodded" She is a tough lass....She will be fine especially  with those  elves healing  her."

Kilis  eyes shut  as he nodded. Staying  quite  he reached for a towel. Fili handed it to him and turned away as his brother stepped out and had the towel wrapped around his waist. Stepping  from the washroom Kili glanced at the clothes and began to dress as Fili leaned against  the doorway,his arms folded across his chest." ....She's an elf..." Kili said as he pulled a dark blue tunic over his head and pulled it down over his torso,turning  to  look at Fili.

Fili hummed and his gaze sharpened as he looked  at Kili. "Does this bother you?" Kili shook his head "No....it doesn't. ..but what bothers me is uncle knew." Fili nodded and sighed walking  over to his brother and wrapped his arm around  his shoulders " Uncle has his reasons,  we should  wait and listen before we judge him. Now come you have been in here for an hour...dinners ready." The two left the room meeting  up with the others in the dining  hall. At the head of the table, a stern looking  elf sat though  his face was tired his eyes were alert "Welcome...please sit...I'm sure  you  are  hungry." Kili and Fili  sat next to each other." Where's the lass...is she alright? " Dwalin  growled out, the others looked at the Elf-Lord. "Why don't you and ask her yourself." A soft voice came from the doorway.
