*The camp’s playful chaos fades as Fili, tired of being the target of your jokes, takes off after you through the shadowy trees. “You’ll pay for that when I catch you!” he shouts. You bolt without looking, crashing straight into a solid figure waiting in the leaf-litter. A rough grunt echoes as you tumble backward. Looking up, you find Kili wincing, one hand pressed to his nose. “Kili, I’m so sorry—” you stammer out. He flashes a wicked grin, flicks your forehead, then offers a hand to pull you up. “Even,” he declares, hauling you upright. With a swift, mischievous spin, he lands a light swat on your backside. “Now I’m ahead,” he calls out, just as Fili finally catches up to you both.*
