Honestly, Fili didn't know what they could do anymore. They were at Thorin's mercy, and under his tyrannical command... The blonde sighed, almost in despair, and looked in sorrow at the brunette's mark. It was starting to bother him, and Kili was quick to point out that Saeril would notice, and potentially become enraged. The thought of his brother getting hit by an arrow, made their godmother become something they didn't expect. She made quick work on Bolg, and Fili didn't want to think about how she would behave around Thorin, if she found out. He didn't want to keep any secrets from her, but if they could do this for their godmother's sake, it could possibly work. With that, the eldest reluctantly nodded, though he was looking at the ground, a little troubled. "Let's hope it fades soon", there wasn't really much they can do. ------------------ "You will go to war over a handful of gems?", Bard asked the ElvenKing, dumbfounded of hearing this kind of retaliation over a family heirloom. "Your Majesty, we are allies in this. My people also claim upon its riches. Let me speak with Thorin; to avoid a war", he suggested.
