"You got me convinced!" Tom says eagerly to joined into the training as well. "But first;" He reminded himself by instantly removing off his shirt and tossing it away gently over by the other side.
"What are you doing?" Kassie thought she should ask the hobbit without trying to smirk, but it was so hard to do so as she watched Tom doing some minor stretching. "Just thought you'd like to what an exercise body really looks like." Tom reply to Kassie a grin, showing off the small muscles on his arms. "This is for you ladies." He addressed over to Grace and Kassie.
"This is your plan?" Goldie scoffs, not too convince that Tom had taken off his shirt by purpose just to get Grace and Kassie's attention right at him. "You're right!" Tom told his sister with the quick of a snap from his fingers. "Guys, lose the shirts. Let's show these girls how strong and tough we can be."
"Tom, I don't think your idea is going to wor--" Goldie try to say, but though the guys did look quite skeptical with confusion and a bit of a shrugged, they actually did follow along with Tom's idea and took off their shirts as they began to work out. "Oh my Valar!" The she-hobbit barely whisper as she stared at Amir. It was hard and impossible for her to look away as she placed her hand over her mouth to hold back her gasp.
"God have mercy!" Kassie mutter as her eyes were stayed on Roran and D'Artangan's shirtless bodies that became so hard for her to compare which one of them look the hottest without their shirt on. She signal herself a quick little bitty prayer only to be thanking the heavens and gods for it. "AMEN!" She commented quietly while Grace's mouth dropped, staring at Tristan's own gorgeous hot-looking body.

"Oh for the love of Valar! Is this even necessary?" Arowen spoke up rolling her eyes at the boys taking off their shirts and watching her female companions oogling them.
"Oh my..." Tauriel whispered as she took a quick peak at D'Artangan's shirtless form and blushing slightly when he gave her a flirting wink as he grabbed a few wooden poles and passed them out to everyone to use for practice.
"What are these for?" Amir asked as he was handed his.
"No point in giving you a sword with no training to use one so these are for you to practice with." Gloin pointed out.
"I need one too." Arowen pointed out as she went over to join them to join in the training.
"You'd be better sitting this one out." Roran told her. "You'll only get hurt."
"Yeah but why let the boys have all the fun?" She commented with a smirk.

"Arowen, Arowen!!" Grace called as she stopped on by and easily pulled her elvish friend away from the boys in their training. "It's better we watch! We can learn faster this way!" She told her while Goldie had taken up on notice that oozes of drool were dripping outta Kassie's opened mouth. "Kass?" She waved her hand at her friend's face to get her attention. "Kass?"
"Huh? What what what?" Kassie snapped out of her distracting moment of staring the shirtless form of their male companions. "You have drool on your blouse." Goldie told her she-hobbit friend, pointing a finger at the soaked spots of the saliva on her clothing. Goldie return to casting back her gaze towards Amir, it still gave her concern for him on the inside since evening just earning a bit of small scraping bruise would still get her very worried, but had to be sure in reassuring the training in learning how to fight would give the boys a more useful way to keep them all safe and make them heroic brave men.
"Have fun!" Goldie rooted to Amir by cheering on for him. "But try to be careful!" She cautioned him dearly.

"Uh...thanks..but I'll be fine.." Amir replied wondering why she seemed so concerned for him all of a sudden when he figured Goldie to be concerned about her brother if anyone.
"Im not sitting this one out Grace. Its time these boys know we can hold our lot as well as the rest of them." Arowen insisted before turning to Roran and the others "Whats the matter? Afraid a woman will best you?" She taunted them with a smirk.
"Not a chance. When I beat you, you can just go back to brushing your hair or whatever it is you do all day." Roran scoffed.
"I say let her give it a shot. Besides it'll be good for the other girls to watch one of them do it so they know they are capable of it too." D'Artangan spoke up.
"Kiss up." Cedric commented with a smirk while Roran nodded in agreement and turned back to Arowen. "Alright, you're on. Go on. I'll give you the first try." He told her.
She smiled taking the stick and swing it at him to which he easily deflected the blow.
"Two apples says Arowen takes him down." Amir wagered with the other guys taking a moment to watch the spar.
"Heh. You're on." Cedric replied with a snicker.
The sparring went on back and forth for several moments seeming that the two were evenly matched before Arowen caught Roran by surprise whacking him in the gut causing him to fall face first into a mud pile.
"You were saying?" She teased him as he coughed a moment and glared up at her with a muddy face.
Cedric grumbled something under his breath as Amir grinned at his winning bet.

"Oooh bad luck there cutie!" Kassie smirked at Roran for watching getting his butt beaten by a girl, particularly by Arowen in which case the she-elf had proven the guys wrong that girls can just be as tough as they could be too. "Maybe you're better at having a good shot with the other guys." She added at the poor failed elf til an idea came in mind for her. "Hey Tom, let's see if you can show Arowen a thing or two about your best fighting skills!" She dared to challenge their male hobbit friend to go against Arowen.
But after seeing the wind getting knocked right outta poor Roran's gut, Tom did not want to have to faced the same defeat, not even to look weak in front of Grace. "What? No thanks! I think she proven her point. I'm staying right over here!" Tom pointed and step aside away from Arowen to remain close to the other guys.

"It was a lucky swing..." Roran muttered trying to hide his shame at being beaten by a girl while the rest of the guys rolled their eyes.
"You're really good, Arowen." Amir complimented the she-elf who smiled and nodded.
"Chicken." Cedric muttered watching the small male hobbit retreat as Jake helped Roran to his feet. "Not bad." he added the comment to Arowen who nodded pleased with herself.
Her pleasant feeling soon turned to uncomfortable as she noticed Tristan was looking at her with an impressed glint in his eyes. She didn't meet his gaze for more than a heartbeat however as she quickly turned away and asked "Okay, whose next?"
"I think they got the point Arowen." Sarra commented to the she-elf with a smile.
"Then let's hope they don't forget it anytime soon." Arowen replied giving her a smirk as Roran glared at her.
"I think I'd like to give it a try.." Tauriel spoke as she walked up to the boys.
D'Artangan grinned. "Alright, why don't I teach you how to load and fire pistols?" He suggested pulling one from his belt.
Jake glared. "I can teach her, thank you." He spoke to the other man sternly.
"Calm down Jacob, it's just a mere lesson that's all, in the meantime the rest of us can stop gawking around like hens and stay out of the way. Pistols have a tendency to misfire especially to those unfamiliar with them and we dont want to be around for that." Gloin spoke up.
"Alright fine, we'll head down to the market." Jake agreed begrudgingly before pulling D'Artangan aside and whispering "If you dare harm her in any way I'll personally cut your head off and stick it up on a pike, are we clear?"
D'Artangan glared at him "Perfectly." He replied pushing the young Narnian knight away from him before walking off with Tauriel.
"Knock it off, she's perfectly capable of handling herself and that goes for you too, Tristan." Gloin told both boys noticing Tristan also watching his sister now like a hawk.
The group followed Gloin, Tristan, and Jake leading them down to the market letting the curious hobbits take the time to gaze at all the booths though Amir spent most of the gawking drooling over fruit stands which didn't surprise them in the slightest.
Gloin however quickly stopped in his tracks and attempted to slink behind a corner to avoid being seen but had reacted far too slowly as a dwarven blonde woman around his height with blonde hair and blue eyes immediately yelled out his name and ran towards him hugging him tightly and making a scene as she repeatedly kissed his forehead and cheeks earning a few chuckles from Roran, Cedric, and Tristan.
"Mom...stop it...you're making a scene.." Gloin grumbled feeling completely embarrassed.
"That's what you get! Running off like that to Aslan knows where! You had your father and I worried sick!" She scolded him before turning to Tristan as well "And that goes for you too, Tristan Beretherin Greenleaf! I have a good mind to box both you boys' ears here and now."
"I assure you we were perfectly safe." Tristan reassured her knowing the dwarven woman was only scolding them because she cared and he didn't mind seeing he always saw Gloin's mother as a aunt though they were not related by blood.
"Your dirty, ear pierced, body odor beg to differ. When was the last time either of you bathed?!"
Tristan himself couldn't help but blush. Being around pirates so long he had merely gotten used to looking filthy but he supposed the dwarven mother did have a point.
"Can't this wait until later Mother?" Gloin asked.
"It most certainly cannot! You two will never impress any of these women with you looking like this!"

What came next for Grace and her friends had turn into a very unusual surprising bit of a twist of meeting Gloin's mother, the first ever female dwarf the Middle-Earthers have met who did not have a beard at all from where they came from, all female dwarves were mistaken as men because of their common appearance in beards.
"A beardless dwarf?" Says Kassie staring with a bit surprising reaction at Gloin's mother. "Wrong ma'am! This guy right here has already impressed one of them!" Tom says, correcting the dwarfish lady that the one woman Tristan had already impressed from the start was Grace though he knew he wasn't too keenly happy about it, but went on to rolling his eyes over on that thought of how much hated that so.
"Now I see your friend was serious about Narnian dwarf women without beards." Grace couldn't help but whisper over to Tristan with a bit of giggle in her tone.

"There's something you don't see every day..." Amir whispered to the other hobbits also surprised to see a female dwarf with no beard.
Vivan blinked in surprise when Tom had mentioned Tristan had already sparked interest in one woman before smiling and replying "Good for you. I told your mother you'd find someone of your own kind to be with someday." She commented immediately assuming the hobbit had meant Arowen rather than Grace.
Tristan cleared his throat somewhat embarrassed at his friend's mom jumping to the wrong conclusion.
"Uh..." He spoke not sure how to correct her while Arowen immediately moved away from where she had been standing behind him.
"Now if only you'd find a nice dwarf to settle down with." Gloin's mother spoke turning back to Gloin.
Gloin made a face rolling his eyes but momentarily looked away with a sort of pained look that quickly passed.
"You poor children look half starved. Come on, I'll make you something to eat and you two can get cleaned up and put some shirts on." She spoke leading the way towards a home in the market where she, Gloin, and Gloin's father, Gimli lived.
At the invitation of food, Amir, was more than happy to follow the female dwarf and the other companions.
"How could she just assume that Tristan and I- uggh! Not going to happen?" Arowen whispered as she walked alongside Sarra finding herself enjoying her company though she did miss her brother.
"She didn't mean anything by it. She just thought that since you both are elves you'd make a good couple I guess." Sarra told her with a shrug of her shoulders.
"As far as Im concerned Hayley and Grace can fight over him and keep me out of it." Arowen told her though she couldn't deny like she had somehow forced the words out though she wasn't sure why and she mentally kicked herself for not objecting to the assumption of her and Tristan together before and yet she couldn't help but recall he hadn't either...but why? Didn't he like Grace?

Grace stared at Gloin's mother in the most horrfied disgust. It took all in her will that she can not to make a rude remark to the dwarfish woman, being reminded by what she knew about dwarves, they commonly have a bad temper if they were pissed off very easily. "My friend Tom wasn't talking about Arowen, he was talking about me!" Grace told the dwarf, trying her best to be calm about it but couldn't hide her irritated reaction to it. "I may not be a half-elf like they are, but whose to say we have to be the same race just to be together? And aside from that, Arowen and Tristan are NOT interested in each other!" She added almost nearly sternly though it pain her on the inside why nobody else seem to think that she and Tristan would make the most perfect match for each other.
"You probably should of been more clearer on your words for next time Tom." Kassie whispers to Tom caution while Goldie was a bit lost into her own thoughts about what her best friend had strictly said to Gloin's mother. Her friend may of had the right to stick up about her strong feelings for the Narnian elvish prince, but it was at that moment that Goldie wonder if falling in love at their young age was ever at all worth it. Since their own parents did not find love until they were adults themselves, it gave Goldie something to think of if they should waited until they were in their adult years to find love or just let love find them in it's own way, no matter how long it might take to wait.

"I never said those of different races couldn't be together, young lady, you'd be surprised how many of those live here in Narnia though I would next time suggest your friend be more clear at whom he's addressing before you go off getting yourself into a huff." Gloin's mother sternly but motherly corrected the half hobbit half wizard princess.
If she objected to Grace being into Tristan she didn't seem to show it though she temporarily watched Tristan and Arowen's reactions as if she didnt truly believe the two elves were not interested in each other.
"Calm down Grace. Dont go doing anything rash, there's food at stake you know." Amir whispered to her after taking a moment to wonder why Goldie seemed to be so quiet all of a sudden lately but didn't voice the question aloud.

"Yeah, you hear that Tom? Next time you talk about a girl, mention the name first before everyone jumps to the wrong conclusions!" Kassie told Tom, agreeing with Gloin's mother Vivian. She didn't at all ojected to her cousin's defensive attitude over Tristan, but made no comment to that as it was highly predictable she had seen that one coming from Grace. The female hobbit's attention had left that topic right off when she had taken notice what Amir was looking at, only to see that he was wondering himself about why Goldie had been more quiet than she usually was.
"Psst! Hey Amir, have you notice Goldie has been acting, well...more quiet than she normally is?" Kassie whispers to Amir. Walking closely to the hobbits, it wasn't hard to say that Grace was overhearing her cousins whispering about Goldie. Wondering if she should ask her best friend what was bothering her, it was best not to voice it out in front of them when they were the guests to their companions' company.

'Yeah...I mean she was always kind of quiet before but now? More so than usual I guess...Maybe you should talk to her and find out what's going on?" Amir suggested keeping his voice to a whisper so the others would not overhear.

"I would, but isn't that Grace's job?" Kassie asks Amir, though it would be nice to take up Amir's suggestion to have a heartfelt girl chat with Goldie, it was best to let Grace to handle it since the two of them known each other the longest more the most. Right when they made it back to the home belonging to Gloin, Gimli and Vivian, the girls awaited at the table while the boys were in the changing rooms putting on clean shirts Vivian had given them.
It wasn't taken too long before they returned to find the girls waiting for them to joined them while Vivian was already preparing all of the meals she can for them in the kitchen. "Welcome back!" Grace greeted the guys. "Here Tristan, you can sit right next to me." She added to the elvish Narnian prince with a smile, patting lightly on the empty seat that was right next to her.
"What? No open seat for me in that corner?" Tom cried, frowning upon Grace's open suggestion to letting Tristan sit next to her at the table rather than the hobbit.
Grace rolled her eyes monumentally at Tom, a little annoyed why the hobbit would still be acting so jealous between her and Tristan. "You can sit over there on the other side with Arowen and the others." She suggested to him, pointing a finger where some of the empty seats have not yet been taken.
"At this point, I rather be stuck eating my food outdoors!" Tom mutters begrudgingly before taking notice that there was an opened chair right next to Goldie that was not yet been taken. He grinned to himself, only to walk on by to it and pulled out the opened chair for Amir to take it. "Hey Amir, why don't you take a seat right next to my sister?" He asks their hobbit companion friend, only to be receiving a jaw-dropping shocking reaction by Goldie. Tom gave his big sis a little wink to show at what being a good brother he was to help her gained her crush.
But right from that very embarrassment, Goldie purposely whack Tom on the shoulder upon catching what it was Tom was trying to do. "OW!!" Tom winched by the hit he had gotten from his sister. "Thank you, but he doesn't have to if he doesn't want to!!" Goldie told Tom with a bit of a glare look in her eyes towards her brother, giving him a strictly cold stare at him.
But it didn't bother Tom at all. "Nonsense, I insist he does!" Wondering if Amir was ever okay by sitting right next to Goldie, the once bitter anger look from her face now changed to a gushing blushed up reaction. "Okay!" She giggled nervously.

"Sure, why not?" Amir replied with a shrug before sitting down next to Goldie.
Sensing the awkward tension between Grace and Tom, Tristan gave her a small smile and instead took the seat across from her that faced her on the other side of the table next to Gloin and Cedric instead.
Arowen sat next to Sarra and Roran after sitting Tom down in the seat next to Grace.
When the meal was over, Gloin's mother, offered them a place to sleep for the night to which most the group, with the exception of Arowen, happily agreed.
"Something the matter?" Vivian asked her.
"We left my brother behind in the court physician's care. I should go check up on him, he'll be concerned about why we've been gone so long already." Arowen replied trying not to offend the female dwarf but she felt uncomfortable ontop of telling the truth about her brother that is.
"Gaius is a good man. He'll take good care of your brother." Vivian reassured her.
"I'll escort her back. I have to get back anyway. I have night watch tonight anyway." Jake offered.
"And no doubt you want to check in on Tauriel too." Amir pointed out.
Jake glared at him but didn't reply.

After eating up a whole hearty delicious meal and turning themselves in for the night where the guys shared one spared room and the girls had their own room to share, it was lights out for everyone. A smile came across Grace's face as she was drifted off into slumberland at her first night in Narnia; with a dream unlike anything she ever imagined;
Princess Grace had been trapped tied up against her will on the pirate ship while all of the crew mates were battling against a sea monster; better known to the pirates they called it a krakken. Many of other pirates whom had flee in terror did not stand a chance against to escaping for each tentacle picked up each frightened member of the crew and killed them instantly, half of them being dragged down into the depths of the ocean, awaiting to meet their doom in drowning.
It was the most ghastly awful sight to ever witness that not even Grace would ever wished this type of horror on her own worse enemy if she wanted to. "Help!! Help!!" She cried, screaming for help. The wizard/hobbit princess got her wish at last when Tristan swung on by to her rescue. "Tristan!" She sighed with a hopeless romantic look on her face. However, by the time he had reached to her, one of the krakken's tentacle slammed it's mighty forceful impact right at Tristan, and alas he was gone.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!" She screamed in desperation. It had all hope had been lost for good until an very unexpected surprise show up. "Eldarion?" She stared at her hero's entrance, wondering where in the world he came from. The elvish prince was able to untied her, and the two of them were able to make their escape cue on time soon as they had witness the pirate ship being split into half by the krakken as it was being dragged down along with the sea monster taking up everything.
Grace looked away, only to be staring deeply into Eldarion's eyes. "Eldarion, you saved my life. Thank you!" Ehchanted by his heroic bravery, finding herself leaning into kissing him on the lips, but the dream came to interrupted ending causing Grace to bolt right up and screaming.
Thus, causing the other girls in the spared room in an alarming rate. "AAAH!! Whose there?" Kassie shouted within a startled. "I think Gracie was having another bad dream again." Goldie tells her, taking notice of the fear reacion from Grace's face.
"UGGH!" Grace cries in frustration, grabbing the pillow and pressing it against her face though a muffed growling.
