Imagines - The Hobbit

Teaching Gone....Wrong or Right??

Imagine: the Company have defeating Smaug. To celebrate, Thorin decided to throw a celebration. This means dancing, which means slow dancing...which Kili doesn't know how to do!! So who does he turn to for help?? Alex Hunter of course.

Kili's P.O.V

Why?? Why?? Why?! It has been over two months since the Company and the people of Lake Town defeated Smaug, allowing the towns folk to no longer live in fear of the fire breathing dragon and for us to reclaim our home. As soon as peace returned to both Erebor and Lake Town, both King Thorin and King Bard agreed that, as soon as all of the paths were clear, the wounded were healed and the dead were buried with a memorial, that they should at least celebrate their victory and peace. Which was why they announced to everyone that they would be hosting a party to do just that. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good party - especially one to celebrate all we had accomplished....but a celebration means music which will lead to dancing....which also means there will be slow dancing. Slow dancing is something I can't do!! Kill an orc?? Can do. Fast dance with my brother?? Can do. Slow dance with one person?? Absolutely not!! Due to Smaug taking over Erebor before I was even born, I had never attended any serious gathering that included some sort of formal dancing which my uncle had made clear there would be. And as one of the princes of Erebor, it was apart of my duty and responsibility to mingle and dance with many people, including waltzes and slow dances in general. Basically, I was going to make a fool of myself at the first ever proper celebration that didn't consist of a birthday party where I didn't have to worry about being a prince. I was so screwed. I was going to mess up in front of everyone, including Hunter!! Alex had decided to stay at Erebor in order to help and assist with both the clean up of my home and Lake Town, as well as to help heal the wounded - turns out she was rather knowledgeable when it comes to herbs, medicines, giving stitches and patching people up in general. I couldn't deny that I wasn't completely overjoyed when Alex had agreed to stay for a while longer; she and I had grown close to one another, as well as my brother - she tend to walk beside us both when we were travelling, allowing us a lot of time to talk, joke and laugh together. I liked Alex - she was smart, intelligent, bright,  and serious about helping up, but also knew how to take a joke, actually had a sense of humour, was extremely selfless, cared about others before even thinking about herself, she was sweet, strong, brave, generous and so much more. She was all of this and she was going to watch me make an absolute fool of myself!!

As I made my way through Lake Town in order to find both my brother and our human companion, I took note of how well the town appeared. All of the paths had been cleared, all of the damaged properties had been removed and work had begun on rebuilding all of the destroyed buildings - including many homes. Tents and make shift huts were scattered around for those who had no where to stay; Thorin had opened the great hall of Erebor to them of course, allowing further tents and huts to be set up. It was good to know we had peace between Erebor and Lake Town, especially after the whole Smaug incident. As I rounded a corner within the town, I came to a halt as my eyes landed on one of the two missing people who I was looking for - Hunter. She was stood with a bunch of young children, dancing with them, holding their hands and allowing them to enjoy themselves by the tents; it was an adorable sight that had me smiling gentle at the young woman. As I continued to watch the scene in front of me, I lent against a wall, folding my arms across my chest; Alex, seeming to not notice my watching presence, fell to the ground on her back when over five of the children she was with jumped onto her - she managed to catch them all as they each laughed at the fun and joy they were experiencing. It was then, as her eyes landed on mine as she looked around, that she noticed me; Alex nodded her head as a greeting as a gracious smile formed on her lips. She really was beautiful. Chuckling as I watched her attention return to the children, I approached the group and gave a hand to the young woman as she climbed up to her feet "thanks" she smiled gratefully before turning towards the young ones "alright you lot, go find your parents" she told them; some sulked at the fact that they couldn't continue to play with the young human anymore whilst the others agreed to do as told, even pulling their friends to do the same thing. As the two of us began to walk around, we entered a conversation of how things were and if we were both okay; it appeared Alex could read me like a book "spill, what's on your mind??".
