Laindwar is totally pushing Gimris for things that he himself values highly, as well. The answers to every single question he asks her? Favourable, at least in his eyes. But he doesn’t get them. No answer only makes him more grim and persistent, naturally: he’s worried that her silence means that Gimli must be a dull, joyless fool, a burden in battle and upon a trail.
Laindawar is in for some education, heheh.
Gimris, of course, is miffed at the notion of ever praising Gimli’s dumb arse openly – that is NOT how they work, damn it all, PETTY INSULTS ARE THEIR WAY OF SAYING ILU BRO/SIS – and this Elf following her everywhere is entirely Gimli’s bloody fault. Of course she’s not going to say anything even REMOTELY positive about him, lmao.
Brothers. Gaaaaaaaah.
Gimris would totally join Frerin and Fili in their ‘Alliance of Dwarves with Twit Brothers’. In a heartbeat.
Also did I mention how much I love height difference ships?
(I think Gloin is not particularly stoked about it when he finds out, but is ultimately told to behave by his wife, who thinks Gimli’s new BF is perfectly reasonable for an elf. Family gatherings are awkward but at least no weapons get drawn at anyone else)
Aw Yiss
