"Search them" Legolas ordered

The elves approach the dwarves and start searching them, an elf confiscates two of Fili’s knives, another roughly pulls Ryneela's bag from her shoulders and looking inside, not seeing anything at all. Legolas pulls a small picture frame with two pictures out of Gloin’s pocket,

"Hey! Give it back!" Gloin exclaimed "that's private!"

Legolas ignores him, looking at a picture of a dwarf,

"Who is this?" Legolas asked rudely "your brother?"

"That is my wife!" Gloin said, feeling offended

Legolas looks at the other picture, which is of a dwarf child,

"And what is this horrid creature?" Legolas asked "a goblin mutant?"

"That’s my wee lad, Gimli" Gloin replied

Legolas raises his eyebrow at Gloin in contempt. Ryneela let's out a small yelp turning around and slapping a male elf in the face for touching her rear, the slap almost echoing throughout the woods, the woman being pulled back in in the center of the dwarves, who looked at the male elf's with a glare. A fist suddenly connected with the male elf's jaw, Ryneela instantly recognizing it as Achrigan, who was forced back by other elves,

"If you ever touch her again, you're dead" Achrigan said to the elf

"Is that a threat?" Legolas asked

"It is no threat" he replied, struggling against the elves holding him "my family does not make threats. We make promises. Ones that we never break. If he touches her again in any way, he will die"

"And it may not be by his hands either" Ryneela added, referring to herself and her other eight brothers if they hear of it

Meanwhile, the elf searching Fili finds even more knives all around his person, causing the dwarf to sigh when the elf finds even some in a secret hidden pocket,

"Gyrth in yngyl bain?" Legolas asked 
Are the spiders dead?

"Ennorner gwanod in yngyl na nyryn. Engain nar" Tauriel replied
Yes, but more will come. They’re growing bolder.

Fili opens his jacket to show the elf searching him that he has no knives left, however, the elf finds another one hidden in Fili’s hood. Another elf hands Legolas Thorin’s sword, Orcrist, and he inspects it,

"Echannen i vegil hen vin Gondolin. Magannen nan Gelydh." Legolas said, turning to Thorin "where did you get this?"
This is an ancient Elvish blade. Forged by my kin

"It was given to me." Thorin replied honestly

Legolas points the sword at Thorin,

"Not just a thief, but a liar as well" Legolas accuses "Enwenno hain!"

The elves begin to lead the dwarves away, Kili staying close to Ryneela, Achrigan noticing this and furrowing his eyebrows slightly at the sight, especially when she let him lace his fingers with hers. The Company didn't like it at all when the male elf touched her inappropriately, and Achrigan wanted blood, there was no doubt that his brothers will know as soon as they see them again.

"Thorin, where’s Bilbo?" Bofur whispered to Thorin

Thorin looks around, but sees no sign of Bilbo, Fili coming up on the other side of Ryneela, wanting to ensure the protection of his brother's One, Thorin glancing back at the woman in concern. The dwarves are led over a bridge and into the Woodland Realm, Ryneela letting out a small sigh through her nose, suddenly missing her other eight brothers dearly. She knew she would see them again, very soon, even after it has been many moons, knowing that they'd like to see their baby sister as well.
