Elira's POV.

Fíli and Kíli soon arrived at the Hobbit Hole with the blue mark, knowing it was the place. They knocked on the door and it was soon opened by a Hobbit.

"Fíli,"

"And Kíli,"

"At your service," the two young Dwarf Brothers said in unison as they bowed down in front of the Hobbit. They walked inside as Bilbo barely had the time to introduce himself, Fíli handing his weapons to the poor Hobbit.

"Is our sweetheart here yet?" Fíli raised his eyebrows, leaving Bilbo confused.

"A woman? No, no.. No woman."

"She should be here by now. We need to safe the ham for her," Kíli said before he sprinted to the other Dwarfs, greeted by cheers.

"Excuse me? What woman are you expecting?"

Fíli smiled slightly, leaning forward to the hobbit. "My dear cousin, Master Baggins. The toughest female Dwarf to have ever existed."

"Ay," Balin said as soon he had joined the two, smoking his pipe before supper. "She has fought many battles, has seen more of the world than any other female Dwarf."

"And gorgeous. Do not keep your mouth open for too long, lad," Kíli joked to Bilbo as he returned and at the exact moment there was a knock on the door.

"Not to be rude or something, but I prefer my women beardless," Bilbo said as he opened the door, jaw dropping as soon he saw who was standing in front of him.

"Princess Elira of Erebor," I said with a small smile, bowing slightly. "At your service, Master Hobbit."

I had my father's hair and eye color, yet the facial features of my mother. Other than full Dwarf women of my age, I had no sign of a beard. To represent my social status, love life and royalty my long hair was beautifully braided. I made my way inside the Hobbit Hole, immediately embracing my cousins Fíli and Kíli. I probably hadn't seen them for a month or six.

"Balin!"

I smile at the sight of the older Dwarf, slightly kneeling down to knock our foreheads together as a greeting. "It is good to see you again, Princess," he replied. "Where is your father?"

"He had a meeting in the north, he should be here very soon," I tell him, getting rid of my furry cloak and weapons.

"We saved the ham for y-... BOMBUR!"

The fat red haired Dwarf looked up with wide eyes after Kíli's words and everyone fell silent before we burst out laughing altogether.

"Give me the remains, I am happy with that," I laugh as soon I took a seat beside Fíli.

My cousin handed me the plate with ham as soon he got it from Bombur with a bright smile, clapping me on the back. 

''I'm glad you're joining us on the quest, Elira.''

I ripped a piece of meat off the bone of the ham, smiling at Fíli before I pushed it into my mouth. Everyone shared stories of the last months or even years, some of the Dwarfs already smoking their pipes. 

We had all finished supper about an hour later, now scattered all around the house. I was standing with Fíli, discussing some stuff about the quest and sharing expectations of what was yet to come.
