You finish the fishtail braid on Tauriel's hair. "Okay, you are finished." You say, standing back and gazing at her hair.
She turns and smiles. "Thank you." Your friend says.
You nod, a smile of your own on your lips. You set down the hairbrush. "What are we going to do today?" You ask.
Tauriel's eyes light up. "We could go spider hunting." She suggests.
You half shake your head and wince. "Mm, I do not know about that. We should not go by ourselves." You say.
She stands. "Come on, Y/N. We can take them by ourselves." She says.
"Well, what if we take Legolas with us?" You ask.
Tauriel shakes her head. "No, let's not bother him. We need to clear the spiders out of Mirkwood anyways." She answers.
"But we never will." You say. You lower your voice. "As long as Thranduil stays king, we will never get rid of them. More and more are spawning in Dol Guldur each day. They will overtake our lands and so many more." You whisper.
"Then let's help the other lands. Let's go and kill them." Tauriel says.
Your eyebrows draw. "Surely you don't mean in Dol Guldur..." You gasp.
She shakes her head. "No, we need more than two Elves for that. Let's clear out our forests and rid them of these beasts." She says.
You think about it a moment and then nod slowly. "Alright."
