The Hobbit | Kili (ENG)

Chapter 4

"Thank you. " I replied. "But I don't want your help. "

"Nothing threatens you here, my dear..." He said. "And we just want to help you. " Added gently.

"Oh, really? " I asked in disbelief.

"Malia. " Gandalf interjected. "Let them help you."

"I don't want help from the elf. "

Thorin turned and walked over to me. He smiled slightly and then said in a whisper:

"I'm glad you support me, sweetheart..." He said, and took me by the hand wanting to see the wound. "But I don't want you to suffer. " Looked at the wound and then turned to Elrond again. "Will you help her? "

"Of course. " Replied. "Come with me. " He addressed his last words to me.

"You'll not go alone. " Thorin interjected and turned to me again. "Kili will go with you. "

I glanced at the brunet. Dwarf nodded as a sign that he agreed, and we both followed the elf.

Elrond led us down a long corridor that seemed to have no end. On its sides stood columns that supported the ceiling, and the walls were decorated with various paintings. Finally, the elf turned into a room and invited us inside. He told us to make ourselves comfortable and wait a while for him to bring the things we needed. Kili and I exchanged glances and started looking around the room. After a short while, Lord Elrond came back to us and told me to sit down. I made the request and sat next to him. Kili immediately came up and stood by me like my guard.

"What is it? " He asked when Elrond began to soak the cloth in something.

"Water. " Lord replied and looked at him. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to your girlfriend." Added, and Kili and I exchanged glances. I felt myself blushing.

Of course, neither of us protested. Kili was very important to me, but I never had the courage to tell him that. And I don't think he told me everything either.

Elrond gently began to wipe my wound, and when he finished, he put on a bandage with a dressing to speed up healing.

"You must be hungry. " He said and began to clean things up.

"Not at all. " Kili said sarcastically. "Where did this idea come from?"

Elf glanced at him.

"Your stomach rumbles. " Said and smiled.

Kili glanced at his stomach and then back at the elf and said nothing more. Seeing his expression, I started laughing. Brunet looked at me and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "What?" I just shook my head, took him by the hand, and walked out of the room behind the elf, dragging dwarf with me.

When we came to the "dining room", the other elves were just giving away a meal. We took a seat next to Fili and Bilbo.

Thorin saw us and glanced at me. I nodded my head as a sign that everything was fine and sent him a smile, which he reciprocated after a while.

"I don't like green food. " Ori said.

"Try it. Just a mouthful. " Dori said.

"Where's the meat? " Dwalin asked.

"Have they got any chips?" Ori said with hope in his voice.

As Ori said, there was far too much green food here. I admit that sometimes I ate something green, but here it was too much of it. In addition, this music... The elves played harps and flutes, which slowly drove me crazy. I glanced at Kili, who was looking somewhere ahead. I looked in the same direction and saw an elf playing the harp. I glanced back at dwarf and saw him wink at her and smile.
