After they got back, Thorin conjured her some dry crackers and a cup of hot cocoa to settle her stomach. Nothing like crunchy crackers dipped in hot cocoa for a comforting snacks. It tasted much better than that overrated hotpot restaurant, she thought, but opted not to say it out loud. It might hurt the old dragon's feelings. He was already quite miffed that she fell asleep at the movies.

"Hmmm…this is good, I feel so much better now," she told him after finishing the last of the crackers. He was watching her eat silently. They are in one of his many gardens. It was sort of like a picnic under the moonlight. It would have been romantic if not for her busily stuffing her face while he sat there silently looking at her eat.

"Was the food that bad at the restaurant? I thought it's supposed to be good," he asked.

She glanced at him to gauge his feelings. He merely looked curious. Okay, so maybe he's not that sensitive after all.

"Don't you dragons have taste buds? I mean it was pretty bland and horrible," she replied.

He shrugged.

"I don't really focus much on the taste of human food, it's not what we really need to sustain ourselves," he told her.

"Oh? So dragons don't have to eat? That's….sad…I mean food is the best enjoyment ever, the tastes, the flavours, the aroma, the satisfaction," she said. "So, what do you do to err, sustain yourselves then?"

"We have other ways to sustain ourselves," he replied mysteriously. She rolled her eyes at him openly. Yes, sure, keep the mysterious act, dragons are oh so full of mystery, she thought sarcastically.

"Is it some big dragon secret then?" she asked insolently.

He raised an eyebrow at her tone.

"It's not exactly a secret, it's just not something humans would understand," he said. Again, mysteriously.

"Well, try me, I believed that you are a dragon shapeshifter and you can be Midas too, so I can believe anything!" she said.

He sighed and studied her. She was smiling at him innocently.

"It has to do with the balance of powers in this world, we dragons are entrusted to ensure there is a balance between light and dark, good and chaos, and of course, we control the five elements of wood, fire, air, metal and water," he said.

Whoa. That's some heavy fantasy story plot line right there, she thought. If he didn't look so serious, she would probably think he's joking.

"And the sustenance comes from?" she asked.

"The balance of the elements, without a balance, we can lose our powers and eventually die," he said.

She is confused. How can a "balance of elements" be sustenance? Don't they have to actually eat or absorb power or something to stay alive?

Noticing the confusion marring her expression, he exhaled patiently.

"Look, I told you it's something hard to understand. Think of it this way, you need water and food to stay alive, for us, we need the five elements in this world to be balanced to survive," he said.

"Which doesn't involve you consuming or absorbing the wood, fire, metal, water, air and…what's the last one…yeah, fire elements, right?" she asked.

He nodded in exasperation.

"There was no consuming involved. We exists and stay in existence because of the elements but we are also the ones to maintain a balance of the elements," he said.

She couldn't wrap her head around this whole thing. They don't eat but they need the elements but they don't consume or absorb the elements. And then they are the ones to maintain the balance of the elements? This is turning out to be a chicken and egg thing. She gave up trying to figure it out. The whole point of this conversation was that he doesn't need to eat.

"But, don't you have taste buds? I mean can't you taste food, you know, like sweet, sour, salty, bitter, spicy?" she asked.

"Of course I can taste food…I was just not picky and I don't really eat human food that much, other dragons do find enjoyment in human food, I just don't," he said.

"Awww…that's so sad actually…food is one of the best enjoyment that we can partake in," she said.

"So, are you done? We have to get started with our mating," he said plainly.

How could he be so casual about something like that? She thought. Do couples do that? They talk about food and then suddenly jump to "let's get with the mating" casually? There was definitely no such thing in the few rom-coms she watched on TV. The male protagonists on TV definitely do not expect to "get to mating" on the first date either.

"But what if I am not ready?" she asked.

She is suddenly filled with trepidation. And she was nervous. Her bravado from this morning has disappeared. Evaporated into thin air. She didn't even know what possessed her to do what she did this morning. She felt her face reddenning just thinking about her bending over in front of him and telling him to take her.

"If you're not ready, then I have to get you ready, don't I?" he responded impassively.

She gulped. Her heart is pounding loudly now. He noticed her nervousness. He took her hand and squeezed it gently.

"Don't overthink it…we almost did it a couple times before, so, consider it as a continuation of where we left off," he said, trying to sound reassuring.

She supposed he was right. In a way. It was not as if he has never seen her naked. And it wasn't as if she has never seen him naked. They did have oral sex anyway. It should be fine, she told herself and tried to calm her nerves. It's not like she hasn't seen his humongous part before. Let's not forget the silver spikes either.

"The spikes…can you make sure there won't be spikes involved please?" she uttered.

This time he looked slightly sheepish.

"I promise, no spikes," he said. "Dragon's oath,"

She nodded. He took her hand and they left the garden. She let him lead her back to their room. Her pulse was racing by the time they reached the room. She could feel a panic attack coming on. Despite his reassurances, she is still nervous. Not only because of the spikes but because they are actually going to do it this time. She might even get pregnant from this night. She is not even ready to think about being pregnant and becoming a mother. She is only 21 years old!

"Can we, er, postpone it? Maybe tomorrow?" she asked meekly. She doesn't think she can do it.

He studied her pale and nervous expression. Then he enclosed her in a warm embrace, holding her close to him. She felt his arms going around her, circling her in a comforting way. He rubbed her back reassuringly. She sink into his embrace. It felt warm and safe and secure. Her heart continued to thump erratically. She rested her head on his chest and listened to the calming steady thump of his heart.

Thorin wouldn't hurt her, she knows with conviction now. Despite his hot-cold temperament, occasional arrogance and obvious vanity, he can be sweet and caring. He had never forced himself on her. Not once. Maybe he did seduce her but he had stopped each time she told him to. Even when he was fully aroused. Painfully aroused.

"Look, if you are really scared, maybe we don't do anything tonight," he murmured. "Let's just cuddle and kiss, and we will see where it goes," he suggested.

She nodded. She doesn't mind cuddling and kissing. He released her and started undressing. Her breath caught as she looked at his lean muscled physique. Her blood thrummed and she quickly averted her eyes.

"Er, do we have to be naked?" she asked shyly.

He looked surprised. He was in the midst of pulling off his pants, revealing his tight underwear that didn't leave room for imagination on what's underneath.

"No, of course not, I am just going to take a shower and change into more comfortable suitable clothes," he said. He walked into the bathroom and soon she could hear the water running.

She blushed. What was she thinking? She was acting all nervous and scared just moments earlier and now suddenly she's already thinking about getting naked. She need to make up her mind already. Either she wants it now or she doesn't. She doesn't even know what she wants anymore.

"You can change into your night gowns or pyjamas too," he told her when he came out, fully naked, his body gleaming from the shower. She gasped at the sight and tried not to stare at his large appendage. The thing that will be going into her, if not today, tomorrow or the nights after that. She gulped at the thought.

He walked to the closet and started pulling on a pair of satin pyjamas.

Suddenly feeling shy about undressing in front of him, she went to her side of the closet and grabbed the first piece of clothing on the pyjamas rack. Then she went into the bathroom to take a quick shower and change. After brushing her teeth and applying night cream, she quietly went out. Her heart in her throat. She is still nervous. And scared.

Thorin was lounging casually on the bed, looking like he was posing for a Stylish Bedroom magazine cover. Or maybe a steamy novel cover. She rolled her eyes despite her nervousness. Really, the old dragon and his multitude of magazine poses can be annoying and yet somehow endearing. His vanity knows no bounds, she thought. It also somehow relaxed her.

She walked to the bed and slide in next to him, not touching him. Her pulse is racing yet again.. He reached over and drew her into an embrace, then he kissed her.
