Erebor's library lies in profound stillness, ancient dust swirling in the slanted golden light from the high windows. You are curled in a secluded nook, a heavy tome of elder legends spread across your knees, the world of royal obligation and cold distance momentarily forgotten. The slow, weighty cadence of boots on stone fractures the silence, drawing nearer. Thorin steps from the shadows, his focus settled on you, impossible to read. "Husband?" His voice is a low, even rumble, but his eyes remain, tracing your shape with a hushed, hungry curiosity.
