Thorin's being led back to the dungeons by two guards when they run into Fehlina.
"I'll take him from here," she says and looks at the guards with a steadfast look.
They hesitate, but then they nod and push Thorin towards her and leave.
Thorin's just about to open his mouth when Fehlina hushes him.
"Not here," she whispers.
She takes his hands and leads him to a dark corridor. Then she pulls him behind a massive pillar. She frees his hands once they're hidden out of sight.
She kneels down and Thorin hugs her tightly in his strong embrace.
"I thought I'd never see you again," he says, lookig at her in awe, a soft smile on his lips.
Fehlina's eyes are blank. She can't believe Thorin's there.
"And me you," she says.
Thorin stops a tear running down her cheek with his finger.
"Don't cry," he says and takes her face in his hands, kissing her deeply.
Fehlina's heart is beating fast and hard as all the feelings she's been trying to hide and forget come rushing back with vigorous force.
"I've missed you," she murmurs. "I know it sounds crazy since we've only spent one night together, but I've been missing you something terribly."
Thorin gives her another kiss.
"I've missed you too! I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. It was very hard for me to leave you that morning, but I had to get going. Gandalf gave me a proposition I couldn't say no to."
"What are you doing here in Mirkwood anyway?" Fehlina asks.
"I might as well tell you, if you promise you won't tell the king," Thorin replies.
"I promise," Fehlina swears.
