so with Durin the Deathless, how would the Dwarrow who gave birth to him (was Durin always born as him?) how would the Dwarrow who gave birth to Durin /know/ that their child is Durin??? like. is there a birthmark that Durin’s had in all 7 lives??? is Durin’s dark name “Durin the Deathless”? do the heavens align in a certain way every time Durin is reincarnated???? It’s been bugging me not knowing you know?

Sorry, Nonnie – I do know how it is they know it is Durin, but I’m not letting on just yet. You’ll have to wait a little longer, I’m afraid!

Does Dis use any of the things that her family had before the Fall of Erebor or did she pack it all away to never see the light of day again? Because I am having feels about this.

OUCH, NONNIE. 

OUCH.

Yeah, I think she would tbh. Dis endures, and she weathers all pain, all storms, like the steel she is named for. 

And she would swallow the little stab of pain, every time she picked up her mother’s teapot to pour a cup, or took her brother’s comb to her hair.
