Healing

Thorin P/O/V:

I watch Elysian shooting and Balin smiles "Will you please do us all a favor and tell the lass how you feel." I scowl at him "Will you drop it?" he shakes his head "No." I sigh and glance over at my nephews "Why do I get the feeling they are up to something?" he shrugs "Maybe it's because they constantly get into trouble." I chuckle and watch Dwalin and Gloin sparring "I can't believe we are so close to home." he nods "We'll get there soon." I nod and Fili walks over "Can we spar again?" 

"Why not." I stand and walk with him to a clear space he raises his sword and the two of us start sparring. I knock him to the ground and he gets back up "Can we go again?" I nod and go to lunge forward when Kili jumps on my back "Surprise attack." I scowl and fall backwards landing on him he grunts and Fili jumps on top of us "Ha ha, we beat ya." I roll my eyes and push him of me "Alright, you win. Now get of me." he stands and I hiss as his sword catches on my shirt. "Are you okay?"

I nod "It's just a scratch." Fili stares at it "I didn't mean to hurt you." I laugh "Fili I'm fine, really." Elysian walks over and Kili grins "Your good at healing right?" she stares at him "Why?" he points at me "Fili hurt him." she turns to me smiling "Let me get my medical kit." I nod slightly and she walks away disappearing into the house. I follow shortly after sitting at the kitchen table.

Elysian walks downstairs carrying a small leather pouch and sits opposite me "So what seems to be the problem." I smile slightly "It's just a scratch." she smiles "Let me see." Slowly I reach up and remove my shirt placing it on the table. She leans forward slightly pressing a hand next to the wound "It's not deep but it could still get infected." I nod staring at her hand which is still on my chest. She opens the leather pouch and takes out some herbs crushing them and pushing them into the cut. 

I wince slightly and she smiles "Sorry." I smile "Don't worry about it." she wraps a bandage around it and pulls away smiling "All better." I smile "Thanks." she nods "I didn't know you had a tattoo." I nod and stare at the small runes on the left side "It's dwarfish. It's my sister, nephews and parents names." she smiles and nods "And the one on your chest?" I shrug slightly "I've not had it very long. It just sort of appeared." she nods slightly and I stare at her for a minute "You know what it is don't you?"

After a moment she nods "Yes." I pull on my shirt "What is it?" she shakes her head "It's complicated." she starts packing away her healing things "I promise I'll tell you at some point but not quite yet." she stands and walks back upstairs. I sigh, why is she so secretive? And why do I feel so protective of her? Yesterday when the other men where staring at her all I wanted to do was hurt them. I sigh and stand convincing myself that I would do it for any of my friends.
