Bilbo Baggins misses his dwarves. Thorin misses his Bilbo. Kíli misses his Tauriel, and Fíli misses the opportunities lost to him and his family. They each deal with it (or don't, really) in their own ways: Bilbo sulks; Thorin mopes; Kíli annoys his Maker; Fíli wistfully wishes things could be different. None of them are happy; none of them are healing, which, really, kind of insults Estë. And so she, with help from Nienna, hatches a plan.
Vairë shall reweave The Tapestry as it pertains to Erebor. Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield, and Fíli-and-Kíli shall be granted the chance to change things, to win themselves a happy ending.
Problem, though: they're all idiots, and none of them are capable of communicating like reasonable adults. Oh, my.
But maybe, just maybe, these idiots will manage to reclaim Erebor. And maybe, just maybe, they will change the fate of Middle Earth.
Bilba Baggins is a bit shy. Okay, she's a LOT shy and when Gandalf shows up and dumps an entire Company of dwarves on her she is decidedly NOT amused.......or capable of speaking to them.....particularly the dark haired one who happens to be a PRINCE.
Thanks for that heads up, Gandalf.
All she can think is Kili should have a warning sign on him. It could say something like:
"Caution: Exposure to KILI could result in side effects including but not limited to -
- Incoherent speech
- Inability to speak at all
- Increased clumsiness
- Decrease in brain function
In a few cases more serious side effects have been reported including, but not limited, to -
- The sudden urge to run off on poorly thought out adventures
- Delusions where one believes they are capable of stealing from Trolls and/or dragons
In order to limit the risk of developing one or more of these side effects individuals should limit their exposure to KILI to brief bursts of staring or sidelong glances."
Honestly, it'd only be fair.
