"Tauriel, there is something I need to attend to, go and make yourself useful somewhere. Go and help the healers or something." Legolas said as he headed over to the firey-haired female. She swallowed but stood to attention before bowing.

"Yes Sir." She turned to go but kept glancing back at the blonde worriedly. Legolas deliberately didn't make a move until she was out of sight. He turned and looked at the stairwell that led to the cellar and headed in that direction, his boots making no sound on the stone. He headed down the steps but he deliberately walked normally, not deliberately being silent. The dwarf behind the barrels stiffened and glanced through a crack to see if it was Tauriel or not.

"You know," Legolas started to pace in the cellar, his arms behind his back, "I think it's rather rude to come down and hide where the elves are staying without permission." Kili froze. "Don't you master dwarf?" Kili didn't move, he stayed stock still and didn't make a sound. "Come on out, I'm sure my father would love to see you..." Legolas said as he hauled the dust covered barrels back, revealing the dwarf crouched behind them. Kili glared up at Legolas with dark eyes and his teeth gritted.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Oh come on Dwarf, I've known since Tauriel first brought you here. On your feet. Now." He ordered and Kili stiffened.

"No, why should I do as you say?" Legolas's icy blue eyes flashed dangerously. He pulled out one of his knives swiftly and in one quick movement, he'd spun it in his expert fingers and pointed it at the dwarf's face. Kili swallowed, looking down the sharp knife edge up at the snooty elven prince. He slowly got to his feet and Legolas did a sort of smirk.

"Where's Tauriel?" Kili growled, he hated this bloody elf.

"I sent her off somewhere, don't worry she won't be able to interfere when you speak to my father." Legolas grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and tutted, pulling on a strand of Kili's hair. "Oh dear oh dear, lost your pride, have you?" He said mockingly and Kili glared at him, ready to punch him but he knew that would be a bad idea. If he was going to get out of this, he needed to try and persuade the King to let him stay with the elves because he was half elven... But he needed Tauriel's help to do that! Legolas proceeded to drag the shorter male up the stairs and many eyes turned to them as he pulled him firmly through the halls towards where Thranduil was sitting on a chair that was the closest to a throne that they could find. He stood up with a nasty smirk on his face when he caught sight of his son dragging Kili along towards him.

"Father, we have an unexpected guest..."

(A/N:) Hi! Sorry, another short chapter. I've been super busy working on another fic for Attack on Titan and have written *cough* 64 pages in the last week... So yeah. I sort of forgot about this one but I really want to get back into it and I will try to write another chapter today and upload it, so fingers crossed! Thanks for reading! 3 :D
