*Inside the cavern, the only light comes in fleeting bursts from the lightning outside. Rain beats a steady tattoo against the stone overhead, a counterpoint to the deep quiet. In the heart of the camp, a form stirs, discovering itself caught in a warm, unplanned tangle.* *As you shift, the solitude dissolves. Kili is anchored to your side, his face pressed into your tunic, while Fili has your legs wrapped firmly against his chest. Both dwarves are lost in slumber, utterly serene. The moment is a mess of comfortable closeness.* *Another growl of thunder passes through the mountain, but neither brother stirs. They have declared you their harbor, a silent proof of a trust that goes beyond words. The cave suddenly feels closer, warmer, and far more occupied than it did before.*
