Seeing the exhausted woman at the door, Bilbo stepped aside to let her in. He was not very fond of uninvited guests, but he felt that he could not send a tired and weary traveller away. “A friend of yours?” he asked, furrowing his brows. “Who, if I may ask?”

Hithfaerial barely heard him as she shrugged off her cloak and set it neatly on the back of the nearest chair. “I hope you would not mind the weapons inside your home.” She turned to look at him, unbuckling her sword and sliding her bow and quiver full of arrows from across her chest.

“Cold water would be greatly appreciated,” Kili replied, voice still muffled as he carefully removed his arm from his face. He blinked slowly, squinting at the woman mercifully blocking the light.

“…Sorry, I don’t seem to remember your name.”

She nodded, and with a swiftness and grace that never seemed to cease in elves no matter what they did she quickly poured water in a goblet and held it out to him. “Hithfaerial.” She said with a hint of a smile.

“And you are Kili, if I am not mistaken.”

                                                  confused  emotions  tangle  within  the  girl,   and  she  is  at  odds  with  herself  as  she  approaches  Ashitaka  and  kneels  at  his  side.   she’s  in  shock,   of  course,   to  learn  that  the  boy  was,   in  fact,   responsible  for  the  boar-god’s  death.   but  it  doesn’t  change  the  feelings  trying  to  rise  up  in  her.

carefully,   she  loops  his  arm  around  her  neck  and  pulls  him  into  a  sitting  position.   a  brief  whine  from  her  throat  brings  one  of  her  brothers  forward.   “will  you  carry  him?”   she  asks,   and  the  wolf  give  a  short  nod  of  agreement.   turning  her  attention  back  to  Ashitaka  now,   he  feels  his  face  for  any  change.

                         “well,   there’s  no  fever.   but  you’ll  need  rest,”   she  explains  gently.   she  can  hear  her  mother  move  on  through  the  forest  and  knows  that  Moro  is  not  fond  of  the  idea  of  bringing  the  man  back  to  their  cave.

All the strength he had gathered for those few moments to speak to Naga had left him exhausted. His breathing was a little laborious and the pain in his chest seemed to radiate throughout his entire being. At least he didn’t have a fever anymore. He grunted softly as he felt the Wolf Princess lift him. Ashitaka had never felt so helpless before. He wouldn’t trust anyone to help him like she was. And yet he couldn’t help but do just that.

Briefly he opens his eyes, his breathing easing a little now. Yakul snorts softly as he comes to his side, gently nudging him with his nose. The banished prince manages a small smile before turning his attention to the Princess.

“Thank you.” His voice was sincere as were his eyes as he met her gaze. “I’m glad you didn’t leave me to die. Or kill me.” Despite the depth of his words, his tone was light. As if he had been sure she wouldn’t do any of those things.

“Clearly that’s not the case with me,” came the muffled response from underneath an arm that the dwarf used to shelter his eyes that at the moment, were very sensitive towards the light.

Smiling to herself the elleth shifted so as to block out the light that fell directly in his eyes. “I would suggest a bath. And some cold water perhaps?” She suggested. 

[zsakosur]

“No, you can’t come in! You’ve come to the wrong house!”

[what-lies-within-us]

"Clearly. Since I am barely able to stand straight. But a friend of mine informed me I would be able to rest here for awhile.” 

[murkhith]

“That was a horrible, horrible idea. I’ll never touch an elven drink with a ten-foot pole again.”

[what-lies-within-us]

“You just had a little of it. I had heard tales of dwarves being able to hold their own with Elven drink.”

Well here I am! Trying to get back into the swing of things. I’m still re-setting up everything again but while I do that if you are interested in any of the listed fandoms hit me up! Maybe we can plot something. I’m open to adopting more characters and creating original ones as well.

Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, DC, Marvel, Studio Ghibli, Inheritance Cycle, Throne of Glass, Six of Crows, Digimon, Dragon Ball, Disney, Pirates of the Caribbean, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Castlevania.

      He’s smooth, she’ll give him that. Not wanting to insult him, but definitely not wanting him to get away with something so cheesy, she laughs into her hand - doing little else to conceal the rosy tint to her cheeks. He earned that much, she supposed.

        ❛  Do you even hear the things you say ?  ❜ She finally lowers her hand, shaking her head at Shun. ❛  Most people would never have the dumb bravery to say even half the stuff you do, you know that ?  ❜ 

“I am aware of it.” He replies with a grin. “But then as a writer I’m more used to speaking whats on my mind. Or rather writing.” He added with a shrug. “And I shall ignore the dumb part of the comment and accept the fact that you just admitted that I am brave.”

❝We can’t make any promises now, can we, babe?❞ - Rachel (Anyone from Marvel works for me!)

“I always try and avoid making promises.”

"Bad experience on your part or did someone else make a promise and didn’t meet it?” She asked.

Loki nodded his head slowly as she assured him in her trust. He dipped his head low and rest his mouth against the top of her head, planting a small kiss there before picking her up bridal style. “How about you tell me of some of the things that you enjoy from Midgard? Songs? Films?” He had heard of a few movies. Just passing conversation with Thor during their adventures, as annoying as he was. For now, he wished to distract Rachel in the time it would take for them to reach the Rainbow Bridge where he hoped to help her escape momentarily to a place of nothingness. He would be there with her, of course.

“With You.” She finally spoke in a soft voice. “Its from a musical. The man she loves is dead and the woman sings how he has taken her dreams, her will to live with him when he died.” Rachel would never admit to anyone but she had a soft spot for songs about heartbreak and loved ones lost. Especially the latter. The sadder the song the more she seemed to enjoy it. Perhaps it was the bittersweet pain that rose in her, something that was completely her own and not a pain someone else felt that was manifested into her because of her powers. Like it was being done right now. As he carried her pain seemed to shoot through her after every second and though she tried her best to not whimper, pursing her lips to stop from doing so, the pitiful sound did slip out and she would curl herself further into Loki’s chest.

When Bored // Loki and Rachel

[what-lies-within-us]

ipausewith-mypen:

Loki was watching the child closely the whole time that Rachel spoke to him, knowing that they could be quiet devious and he didn’t wish to be caught on the tail end of some stupid joke. But as their gaze met, hers didn’t wave and instead she reached up to him. The lower lids of his eyes raised in an unsure squint and he made a sound as he supposed it would cause a scene if he rejected the little girl.  “Alright. But don’t start crying as soon as you’re on my lap,” he relented slowly as he picked her up, holding her onto her sides before she was settled onto one of his legs. He looked, and felt, like he didn’t quite know what to do with her at the time. He just kept her there, secured with his hands on her sides so that she wouldn’t slip off on accident. “Someone trusted you with their child?” He quipped, looking over to Rachel finally. 

As soon as Rosie had made the gestured to be lifted up at Loki, Rachel had been prepared for a tantrum from the child. There was no way he would pick her up. Though she had never asked, and he had never told her, Rachel had assumed Loki wouldn’t be fond of children. But then he surprised her by picking up the toddler and though he fumbled a little bit, he did manage to settle her on his lap, where she proceeded to fiddle with the tiny buttons at the front of her dress.

His quip though had her pursing her lips in annoyance. “If you must know I am the most trustworthy person for anyone to leave their child with.” How many times had she helped Midgardian children find their way home when they got lost. Saved them from a bully or even a potential kidnapper. Not enough in her opinion. In the dark world that they lived in children were the only pure ray of hope and light for the world. In her opinion at least. “She seems to like you.” Rachel commented, and sure enough Rosie had turned her little body towards Loki and was now running her chubby hands along his face, patting his cheeks lightly every now and then.

[what-lies-within-us]

ipausewith-mypen:

Loki knitted his eyebrows together, looking over her in concern. “Now, you know that you are reading into it far too much. I was merely saying the act of feeling sorry for yourself is annoying. And I suppose that would make me just as well.” He wouldn’t deny the fact that in the past he had been self-serving and vengeful. Perhaps he still needed to work on it. They were both works in porgress. He opened his hand as she took the dagger back, not wanting to cause any harm to themselves by fighting her on it. “Now, what has made you begin to believe that?” He asked quietly. If anything, he could lend a listening ear and help her reason out her own feelings. He never had that when he needed it. He knew how lonely it could be. 

“What annoying you? Can’t even imagine that happening Loki.” Though the distress and sadness remained in her eyes and demeanor, the small smile and the light teasing helped divert her attention a little. But only for a brief second. His question however had her sighing deeply, and running a hand through her black hair, a few stray strands falling against her cheek but she ignored them. “I was abandoned at an orphanage Loki. And from what I’ve seen and heard, stories where a child is abandoned is never a happy one.” Alright so maybe she had read too many books pertaining to abandoned children but it was the only way she made herself feel like she wasn’t the only one to be abandoned. That almost daily babies and children, even adults were being abandoned.

Mischief and Mayhem||Rachel & Loki

[what-lies-within-us]

ipausewith-mypen:

Loki watched her carefully, seeing the serious expression on her face. Her voice didn’t waver. It appeared that she was all in at this point to find whatever she was looking for and that amused him to no end. So, she was a human-something willing to throw away everything she was, eh? That was new to Loki but he didn’t mind being thrown off guard like that every once in awhile. “And you are more questions than you are answers,” he told her nonchalantly as he returned to the throne to grab the staff that Odin once possessed and then turned back to her before taking his supposed father figure’s form once more. “As for your questions, let us just say that Heimdal is able to see beyond the surface and does not like the idea that I am here in Odin’s place.” He walked toward her and joined her side. “And as for where Odin really is, he is out of the way. Lingering with other old fools where you came from. Now, are we going to waste more time here or do you want to find Nott?” 

She smirked. “Would you call me an enigma then? A mystery?” Her tone was teasing as she looked at him, arms crossed over her chest as was customary for her and one eyebrow raised. “Its a good thing I suppose. Or else you would’ve lost interest in me if I were an open book.” And she needed his attention. He was the only person who could help her now. And Rachel was not about to walk away after all the work and effort she had put in getting here.

“We are finding Nott.” Rachel spoke in a tone that showed nothing but her conviction for the task at hand. For the first time in a long while she felt a glimmer of hope in her otherwise dark soul. This was it. Her chance to find the truth. For so long she had convinced herself that she didn’t need it that accepting the fact that she did need it had been hard. Almost painfully hard.

“Ha! I suppose I will be picking out all of the furniture then. Just for that, I’m going to get a big ugly green couch,” Lue closed one eye in a playful wink, though she had never known the joys of trying to shop for a home. “But for now, a blank slate and empty rooms is just fine…” She looked all around the empty living area, unable to stop smiling. “You really did sneak one under me. Outsmarting a detective, how dare you,” she gave a shove to his chest and chuckled before settling back down into his embrace. “…But it will be fun. Having our own place, yeah?” She added quietly.  @what-lies-within-us

He was completely content with listening to her ramble on. There was just something about how she talked that made Bruce want to listen to her. Perhaps it was the way she talked. Always with an air of excitement. Or any feeling really. But he especially liked to see her ramble when she got excited. It was cute. “It will be fun.” He agreed with her, gently kissing her forehead.

[what-lies-within-us]

Lue hoisted her bag over one of her shoulders and nodded to him with a light smile as she joined his side, ready to leave to spend… their first night together at one of their places? Not that they had spent the night together officially yet. Lue’s thoughts were also running away from her. But they had fallen asleep in the lab talking over theories of various things and trying to solve issues that came up that had been assigned to them. That was hardly on the level as feeling concern for someone and asking them to stay with you because of it. “Well, what has you so concerned that you want me to stay, really?” She asked as they walked together toward her car. “And I need directions.”  @what-lies-within-us

Paranoia. The only word that would explain everything to her. But Bruce wasn’t about to admit it. But the truth was Pepper had been targeted recently because she was Tony’s girlfriend. And though Lue wasn’t his girlfriend, Bruce couldn’t help but think that he did care for her. She was his friend. Who he also happened to like. And if their enemies could target Pepper, who was to say they wouldn’t target Lue. “Just go with it.” He told her with a shrug as they walked to her car. “You do know I stay at the Avenger’s Tower? How hard is it to find a building with the name on it?” He asked with a teasing smile.

Close Call //Bruce and Lue

[what-lies-within-us]

ipausewith-mypen:

Lue watched as he seemed to not know what to do with himself. Well, it wasn’t a reaction that she was NOT used to. Most of who had been around her when discovering her abilities had given her that same flabbergasted look but she had expected it less from the scientist who had survived a deadly gamma radiation blast and could turn into a green giant with super strength. Blinking green eyes slowly once, she gave a child like pout at the concept of having the be checked over by him. “Really? That isn’t necessary…” But she supposed it would put him at ease. Make him think more straight. She gave an exaggerated sigh almost and slumped her shoulders before making her way from the wall over to him. “What are you going to do, then? Give me a MRI?” She teased. She had once had plenty of those but… well, nothing could really explain how she could do the things she could. “Because if you try anything like that, I am afraid my brain activity is going to look a bit different from a normal human’s,” she added nonchalantly. 

@what-lies-within-us

He hummed, scratching his chin as he thought over her words, not even picking on the fact that she was joking. “An MRI doesn’t sound bad. I have full access to the lab so it’s not like we’re at a disadvantage.” Bruce continued to mutter to himself for a few seconds before the rest of her words caught up to him and he quickly shook his head. “I’m not doing it to check your brain activity, though that would be a fascinating thing as well. I just want to see if you have any injuries thats all.”

Bruce pursed his lips for a few seconds, frowning as if he were thinking hard about something, which he was. Finally he sighed before speaking. “Look I don’t want to force you or anything. If you don’t want to get checked over its alright.” He didn’t want to push her. Bruce knew more then anyone what it felt like to be pushed around and do things you didn’t want to.
