It was an odd thing, this land.
Fili had learned not to trust all doorways, cautious though he must be. Now that they had settled in Erebor, with Smaug's corpse lying on the field of battle outside, Fili believed himself to have bigger things to concern himself with. It had led him to being lazy in his checks, which in turn had led him to that cursed inn, but when he tried to get back, he found himself not in the mountain, but in another land all-together and with a steady companion at his side.
He had never seen her before, this elegant lioness, and yet he felt as though he knew her. She stared at him as though she understood each and every one of his secrets, as though she had always been a part of him. "I am a part of you," she replied, padding along his side as they wandered through this strange landscape of buildings and people, all with an animal at their side, though different from the rest.
They had begun their quest to return to the hotel hours ago, her constant presence with him. "Ushlun," he spoke, finally, when her name came to him. He had not discovered her only now, but found that he had known her forever. "Where is the door?"
"I think it's this way," she replied, never straying too far from Fili's reach. They were tethered together and he began to realise that when he had set foot into this odd world, it had split him into two, but he was as whole as ever. Unfortunately, the both of them were entirely lost and he wasn't sure whether she and he could find their way back.

"Do all dwarves get it? It might be something we could make a potion against, something we might be able to cure." Zelda had never been much for alchemy but she thought surely that there must be dwarven healers who had knowledge of how to cure such things.
Then again, wouldn't Thorin had already sought that out if it were an option? It was all too convoluted.

He shook his head. It was not every dwarf and certainly it was not even every royal one, for his mother and Frerin had never been said to possess such a sickness. "No. Thorin seems to be affected, but neither Kili nor myself has shown any signs, and we have been near the gold long enough that I believe we would," he insisted. "Perhaps it is doomed to simply be."

"Still, I worry for the state of your country even if there is nothing to be done. I believe there must be something, we simply haven't stumbled upon it yet," Zelda said confidently.
"I will meditate on the matter and see if the goddess inspires me."

Fili worried for the state of Erebor more than he could say, for it was a home that he had only known for a matter of days, but he had already grown quite possessive of its beauty and the history that came with such a place. "In this matter, your help is appreciated," he said solemnly, with a slow nod of his head.
