Proud Grandparents Thror and Hrera. *gurgle*

OH SO PROUD. 

Thror: Look at how strong and smart and brave they are. *sighs* What did I do to deserve them in my life? They are so – so good. 

Hrera: Sit here, Frerin-love. That’s it. Put your head on my knee. Don’t think I don’t see you fidgeting there, Thorin darling. Your turn next. What lovely hair you have, Dis dear. Now, I’ve a little something for you all – Thorin, go to the tin in the pantry – yes, Frerin love, there shall be seedcakes and tea. 

After I have fixed your braids, mind you.

Kili sings again! Man, I’m on a bloody roll today.

Hmm… what’s the worst possible thing I could do to grimminsanity

Oh! I know…

Think: right before leaving on the quest, because dammit, I’ll prove I’m not a screw-up!

(I feel like this would also hurt you, determamfidd 🙂 *halo sounds*)

AUGH KILI it is BEAUTIFUL AND ALSO AUGH

KILI NO

So I was going through old stuff and got the impression that Thorin and Dwalin have exchanged Dark-names but Thorin and Dis haven’t?

Oh, Thorin and Dis did… eventually. But it took until Ered Luin, and some semblance of stability. Dis was expecting Fili at that time, and she was clinging to her brother quite hard. There was a lot of drama going on (because of her relinquishing her place in the succession, and now expecting… what would happen to the baby?) and everyone was very tense and unhappy. 

But Thorin cared for her, reassured her – was the best Big Bro ever, in essence. And she pressed her head against his and finally told him what she was made of. And he smiled and received that name with love, and gave his in return. 

There were a few tears, that night.
