Fili

Prince of Durin.

[rainbowmuses]

"Fili?" Thorin asked, a soft smile forming on his face when he realised that his nephew finally had his memories back. Now that was good news. It had been hard to look him in the eye during the difficult time of his memory loss. "I am good. How are you?"

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili nods with a light smile when his uncle says his name as if asking for confirmation. He should have checked in sooner again once he had gotten his memories back. Yet, Fili had been in such a sad place as he worked through his memories and knowledge of what happened in that war. He didn't wanted to make progress in healing before coming back to Thorin again. "A lot better now. I still struggle from time to time, but I'm not feeling as lost in it now."

[coreofgold]

"I'm not going to verbally congratulate you on getting it back. So. . ." Legolas once again plays the congratulations sound. "I'm sorry, did the darkness and creatures even we can't fully drive out not warn you enough?"

[fili-lionofdurin]

"Still holding on to the old grudge?" Fili asks with a hint of a smirk and analyzing gaze. While his grudge against Elves wasn't nearly as strong as his Uncle's had been at one point; yet, there was still a slight mistrust within Fili still. "Dwarves don't back down from a challenge when we have places to be."

[fili-lionofdurin]

"Uncle!" Fili calls out to Thorin with a smile. It was true he had been having a difficult time adjusting once getting his memories back. Yet through months of working through it, he was starting to feel like himself again. "How are you?" @rainbowmuses

[coreofgold]

Legolas pulls out his phone and does celebratory music. It's his version of congratulations because Ilúvatar knows he won't say it out loud. "It's much better to relax knowing we don't have any intruders." Alluding to the dwarves ending up in Mirkwood.

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili looks at the elf with a look of pure confusion at the sound of the music. "What was the point of that?" He asks with a silent chuckle and shake of his head. Then laughs more verbally and shakes his head. "Well, you should have put up a no trespassing sign. We would've found a way around if we knew you were that inhospitable."

[coreofgold]

"Ah, so you were one of those with fake memories." Legolas nods. Shame the other now remembers. "But yes, I am here, and not as annoyed now as you thought it would leave me"

[fili-lionofdurin]

"Unfortunately, I was." Fili still hated the fact that he had to regrow his mane of hair back again. So much important sentiment had been poured into those braids. One having been braided by his long lost father and the others braided by his mother and younger brother. "Oh so you've lightened up here? That's good to know."

[coreofgold]

"Two things can be true at once. It can be flashy and thoroughly efficient. It's called style." Legolas explained.

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili chuckles and sarcastically raises a thumb as an earth symbol of congratulation. "Style over fun, that explains why you all looked so miserable."

[coreofgold]

Legolas waves it off. "An in joke with someone else." He tends to screech to Bloo and Bloo screeches back. "Nevertheless, why have you used your finger to summon me?"

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili smirks and nods but doesn't pry into the private joke. "Those are fun. My brother and I had plenty of them after our.. visit with your town." With a shrug he responds. "I remember from my fake memories, it was a way people used to call people over in this world. And I figured it would annoy you."

[coreofgold]

Legolas raised a brow. "Yes well keep looking for elven arrows are superior. We are know for archery."

[fili-lionofdurin]

"Just because you're the flashiest about it. Dwarves just get the job done." Fili says continuing to tease the elf with a smirk.

[coreofgold]

Legolas sighed dramatically. "Elven arrows are the best; Made from good, strong, and pure oak." He's always going to be biased. "However. . .its rare to find made weapons so expect a visit."

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili loved hearing the elf get all dramatic in his sighs and just crosses his arms over his chest and looks at the other with a cocky smirk. "I look forward to converting you from those flimsy twigs to a real bow and arrows." He teases more, just trying to get Legolas stirred up.

[coreofgold]

"Oh, I'm sorry, I did not plan to battle anyone today." Legolas joked, though the tone makes it hard to tell. "My mistake. I'll make sure to find more arrows."

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili kept a prideful look on his face as he couldn't help but try to one up the elf out of principle. Not that he held any personal convictions against him or other elves after Kili had been saved by one. "Maybe you should come by the forge. Stock up on real dwarf made arrows instead of those flimsy delicate things."

[coreofgold]

"A metal keg. . ." Kili repeats as he leaves with his brother. "I suppose that's more fun if you throw it at someone but the same sounds weird."

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili nods in confirmation, it was almost strange that they had not thought of crafting a metal barrel to hold their alcohol in like that back home. Yet, if they ever did go back and lived, he would gladly make some metal kegs to keep their alcohol safe. He chuckles and nods. "And the alcohol would probably still stay safe inside and not break open."

[coreofgold]

"Do you happen to have any two-handed swords?" Beel could never get the hang of one-handed swords. While it's lighter and easier to maneuver, it's too light for the Avatar of Gluttony. Beel prefers two handed because his strength matches that of the sword

[fili-lionofdurin]

"I do, I have five in different designs right now. I can make a more personalized one too." Fili says with a thumbs up. It wasn't every day that someone requested a two handed sword. "Do you know how to use one?"

[wndrstruck]

“Oh, I had no idea I was in good company of a prince. Here I am being far too casual than you must be used to.” He’d only grown more casual thanks to his time here. Back in his realm, he’d have bowed at the sight of their royalty. “Ah, you too? I was also without memories of my life for a while. Thought I had a whole life here. I guess I still sort of do. It’s conflicting at times.” Brennan thanks the bartender for the glasses of wine. He hands a glass to Fili. “Actually, yeah, the Renaissance spell was somewhat similar to where I’m from. It’s a kingdom called Navarre. Unfortunately, we were at war ... I was a dragon rider, as crazy as it might sound.” The memories, although fresh, seem also distant to the false life he’d been living in D.C.

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili's brow furrows softly, and he shakes his head. "No, please, I'm not a prince here. Here, I'm just a blacksmith, brother, and nephew." He didn't want anyone to treat him like royalty here. Not that he was ashamed by any means, but that wasn't the life he was living here. "That I understand. It is hard to separate it sometimes. Life without my memories was much calmer." The man gives the other a soft smile and nod. "Thank you." He says as he accepts the drink. The other's story of home was so similar and natural to Fili's that he simply listened and nodded quietly until the mention of being a dragon rider. The idea of riding a dragon made Fili look at the other like he was crazy. "You rode one? A dragon? In my world, they were one of the greatest evils. Attracted to greed and dragon sickness."

[intxthevxid-deactivated20251013]

He looked quite surprised before the pieces fell into place. "Oh. Wow, that's... wow." He said. "You're proper famous. I know Bilbo." He said, trying to explain without sounding out of his mind. "But yes, I'm a hobbit."

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili's brows furrow in confusion for a moment. "Famous? I remember how that ended for me... not exactly a great thing to be famous for." Though his eyes lit up at the mention of Bilbo. "You know Bilbo? He made it home?" Fili nods in understanding. "Your town was very nice from what I saw."

[coreofgold]

"Technically I asked what a blind date was. I assumed we'd all be blinded so I decided I didn't want to be blinded. Come to find out it's not that at all! It's very misleading." Kili defends. "It should be called mystery date."

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili chuckles and rubs the back of his neck. "I guess I was more nervous about it than I thought I would be." Truth was, if he knew Kili was going alone, he probably would have backed out of it. "They should. Even having my fake memories it is a strange way to say it. Mystery date is still suspicious sounding but not as much."

[coreofgold]

Kili furrowed his brows at that but said nothing else on it. He can annoy him with the answer later. "Heh, funny story. . .I didn't have a date. I just went solo."

[fili-lionofdurin]

Fili was grateful that Kili didn't push the issue, at least for now. "Kili... why did you say you did? Did you say that so I wouldn't back out of mine?" If so, he couldn't really blame his younger brother as Fili had been tempted to cancel; but he was glad he hadn't.

@fili-lionofdurin continued from here (x)

at the other's explanation addison could feel her eyebrows furrow together in confusion. "i guess i can't be mad at you then? i mean as long as you didn't do it maliciously. it didn't hit me that hard anyways." it wasn't really a battle she wanted to fight anyways.

[fili-lionofdurin]

"No, I promise you I only got too excited." Fili says as there was humility in his expressions. It was hard now, remembering his life on middle earth and trying to line it up with the fake one he knew here. "I will be more careful. I'm sorry you got hit."
