Tauriel was beginning to settle into a routine, which in turn was helping her settle in general. Living with Kili obviously helped, he was the rock she leaned on a lot but it was...fun, living together and just being with each other. She was beginning to embrace the time they had been given and as such it was loosening her up. Some of the rigid elven ways she had were becoming worn around the edges and she found it was rather freeing.
She was sitting near a fountain, half watching the people around her and half whittling sticks into arrows as something to occupy her hands. When a young girl came to sit near her with a notebook in hand she smiled at her and gave a small nod.
