Locked to bilbo_baggins

[kingoferebor]

Thorin knew he had many things he needed to do, things he needed to get ready and prepare. He was King Under The Mountain now, Erebor reclaimed for his people. The battle had ended less than a fortnight before, but they were still making the kingdom ready for the dwarves. Fili and Kili had awoken and were on the mend. The she-elf spending all her time at Kili's side while the others took turns looking after Fili and Bilbo.

The Hobbit still hadn't awoken from his grievous and Thorin was genuinely worried that he might never. He had tried to speak to him before the loss of blood had caused the hobbit to pass out, but he hadn't had the chance. It was too late.

He straightened up a bit from the throne as a Ori and Dwalin approached, watching them and smiling, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Thorin, the celebration plans are almost finished. We just wanted to go over some of these things with you..." Ori started and he held up a hand, motioning him closer. "Of course. Let me see." He said as his smile got a bit wider, though it still had the vague hint of sadness. "Has he stirred yet?" He asked suddenly, looking between the two of them hopefully.

"I wouldn't miss it, Thorin." Not the celebration that will announce Thorin's official coronation as king. Not that it was necessary. It was just tradition, but Bilbo thought it a good tradition.

"Yes, well.." He does miss home a great deal. However, were he to leave, he can't help but consider how much he would miss Thorin. The others, too, but none have had the impact on him that Thorin has.

"It is a very long journey back. I suppose I could stay awhile longer. I didn't get to see all of Erebor." Just the parts he ran through while trying to avoid being killed by Smaug. "Perhaps you could give me the official tour."

[kingoferebor]

"Of course. I would give you the full tour myself, Bilbo. No one else could do it justice." He teased, winking a bit at him before chuckling. "You just have to get well enough to get out of this bed first." He said softly, reaching out and squeezing his hand.

"Would it be alright if I joined you for dinner tonight?" He asked quietly, tilting his head to look up at the hobbit.

[bilbo_baggins]

"A tour from the king of Erebor." Bilbo sounds a little in awe of the idea, but also appreciative, since Thorin is more than just a king. He's a friend.

As for dinner, that makes the hobbit smile. "Nothing would please me more."

[kingoferebor]

"A tour from a friend. I do hope you see me as more than just some wretched king." He said jokingly, still holding Bilbo's hand in his own and laughing.

"Then it is settled. I will have them bring dinner here for the two of us. I can tell you everything that has happened since the battle ended. All the goings on and the rebuilding. I know you'll want to hear about Bard and the people of Laketown. Though Laketown is no more." He said, shaking his head a bit.

[bilbo_baggins]

"Of course, Thorin, but you're hardly wretched." Bilbo thinks the world of him.

Indeed, Bilbo did want to hear about everything that's happened and how the people are doing.

[kingoferebor]

He smiled fondly at the other, touching his hand lightly before he started speaking, letting him know how everyone fared. He told him how they were rebuilding the town of Dale instead of going back to Laketown.

How they had made Bard the official Mayor and how they were celebrating his take down of Smaug, how he rallied everyone together to help the armies once they descended on Dale as well, how he kept everyone safe. They had opened trade between Erebor and the small city of men, agreeing to work between them always. Same with the elves of Mirkwood. No longer would Thorin allow gold sickness to rule over him.

He told Bilbo how his nephews were and how the others were. How Gandalf was. It was all going well.
