Gemma smiled gingerly. “Nothing. I just… your leg is pressing into a rather nasty cut on mine.” Thorin looked to see a long slash in her pants, through which he could see an awful, but thankfully shallow, cut. He sprang back and looked her over, noting for the first time the wounds on her arms and the slashes on her face. “Don’t start worrying. It’s to be expected, since there’s a war going on outside.” She struggled to her feet, and helped him up. “Which is a very good reason why we shouldn’t be doing this right now.”
Thorin sighed through his nose. “I suppose you’re right.” Gemma chuckled, and leaned down to give him a quick peck on the cheek. Thorin laughed too, but then became more serious. “If we go out there, there is a very good chance …show more content…
You’re welcome,
I recognize that today is not, in fact, Tuesday, when I told many of you I would update. But I don’t like to update without the next chapter being complete, and there is a very difficult scene at the end of next chapter that was giving me problems. Still, I think this fluffzilla chapter makes up for it, don’t you?
To be honest, I’m a bit worried about this chapter. It’s quiet mushy and clichéd, particularly the part where Gemma saying I love you is what wakes Thorin up from the gold sickness.

There’s not a lot left, and there’s no time to squeeze in a longer resolution to that whole problem. That being said, some of the fall out will still be addressed.
Which brings me to my next and final point. The sequel. Do you want one? I’ve got an idea in mind, but I can’t really share it without ruining the ending to this story. Basically, it would be an extension or expansion of the epilogue. It might even replace it. I can tell you now it would be a little more lighthearted and a little less plot-heavy. I might even take requests. So, thoughts? Let me know.
Thanks for all your amazing reviews last chapter, as always. You guys really make me smile. I hope my story can do the same for
