[Together, redressing Fili, Kili looks up at his uncle with sorrowful eyes.]

The way I acted-- I'm very sorry, Thorin. I won't do anything stupid. When you are King Under The Mountain and the war is over, after you have brought our people back, and have married and have an heir.. [He stops himself.]

Fili said that since I was born, he never was able to do anything first any more. I need to stay safe so he can explore the Halls without me for a little while, don't you think?

[Injured fingers stroke Fili's cheek.]

I'll be borrowing one of your swords, brother. It's finer than mine. I'll return it soon.

[And not caring that Thorin is there, he bends to kiss his brother's cold lips.]

Say hello to our father, Fili. I will be with you when my hair is pale like yours.
