Elysian P/O/V:

Dis barges into the room followed by two others bundles of fabric in their arms "Dress time." I swivel in my seat placing my book down gently "Hello to you as well." she chuckles dumping her bundle on the bed "Come on, we haven't got all day." I stand drifting over "What exactly is all of this?" she grins "Dress fabric." she turns to the other two dwarfs switching to rapid fire dwarfish before turning back to me, I move to the middle of the room dropping my jacket on the bed and pulling my hair up into a knot sticking a thin dagger through it to keep it in place "How did you know what I wanted?" I chuckle "I speak many languages." she nods slightly and the two others bustle over with a tape measure.

"Do you have a colour preference?" I laugh "No." she nods slightly and mutters to herself while picking through the piles of fabric. She selects several shades of blue and holds them up settling on a deep royal blue "Perfect." the two other dwarfs step away and the three whisper among themselves while I let my hair fall loose once more. Dis shows the two others out a long with the bundles of fabric before turning to me beaming "Well that went very well." I chuckle "I forgot how much effort goes into clothes. I'm so used to shirts and trousers." 

I pull my coat back on sitting on the edge of the bed "Are you alright Dis, you seem distracted?" she shrugs slightly "Never better, would you accompany me to the throne room. Thorin would like your opinion on a few things." we walk side by side through Erabor nodding at passing dwarfs and guards. "Elysian may I ask you a personal question?" I nod slightly "Yes?" she sighs "How old are you?" I laugh "Would you like my real age or the human equivalent?" she shrugs "Either will do." 

"2047. Around 25 in human terms." she nods slightly "I assume you have a similar life span to the elves." I nod slightly "I am immortal, yes. But if you are worrying about your brother there is no need. We have discussed our options and have settled on what will happen." she smiles softly "I'm glad." 

We enter the throne room to find dwarves running in every direction carrying bundles of letters, fabric, decorations and jewels. Thorin is seated on his throne his crown balanced precariously on the arm. "Brother." Thorin looks up from the dwarfs he is talking to who I instantly recognize as Dwalin and Balin "Dis, Elysian," Dwalin and Balin both leave bowing their heads slightly "Excellent I was hoping to get your opinions on some decorations, I have no idea what I am doing." I chuckle kissing his cheek. "Can't promise I'm going to much help but I'll try." he takes my hand in his running his thumb over my knuckles as we walk through to the grand hall where the ball is to take place.
