eeeeeeee…!
Ohgosh, yes omg. So cute. Gloin and Dwalin’s families, Gimris all ‘…huh. Always knew Gimli was cracked.’ Gimizh asking ALL THE QUESTIONS. Bofur laughing himself hoarse. Gloin caught between ‘LOOKIT MY AMAZEBALLS FAMILY’ and ‘ohgod where did i go wrong’. Mizim mothering everyone impartially, trying to feed up these Elven skinny streaks of nothing. Orla, impassive-faced as always, but dying of laughter on the inside. Dwalin eating more cookies than Gimizh. Wee Thorin wanting to know about the battles, please, idc about the stupid love story, tell me about the battles! Laerophen wrangling Frerinith who clambers all over him and chews happily on his long elven-blond hair. Balinith staring at Legolas for a long moment, and then announcing, “your brother is taller than you.”
Legolas just smiling dumbly at Gimli. Gimli smiling dumbly back. “Welcome to the family, lad.”
