[There is no lack of wonderment in Tauriel's mind and heart regarding Kili and Fili. With Kili the attraction had been instant, but time spent with Fili had given time for her feelings to grow. She loves them both, and it pains her to see them question the measure of it for either them.]

[She slides closer to Kili, draping herself next to him and leaning close so her body's pressed to his. Tilting his chin up, she slides her mouth along that scruffy jaw of his, leaving kisses, making it easier for Fili to tend to his hair. The elder brother is favored with a smile that is also a promise. He does not escape her notice, before her attention returns to Kili.]
