alskdjfglahdfgsalhdfalsjhfdalsdfdssdfsadfa Fundin as the King of managing one-handedly is just lovely!
Awwwww! I can imagine him getting annoyed when the needle won’t thread on the third – or even fourth – try!

so CUTE
This would totally be the opposite of a problem, for me i love cats
I’m fairly sure that Fili has had enough of Custard waking him by batting at his moustache, though… 😉
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS PERFECT, YES I LOVE IT
OOOOOOH YES – sudden urge to buy/make a Dwarven-inspired quilt now!
Gloin would have probably said ‘No, Gimizh’ a zillion gigajillion times… and then would have watched indulgently as Gimizh proceeded to do whatever it was anyway, all the while remarking upon his grandchild’s skill and cleverness and boldness. BC Gloin is suuuuuch a soft grandpa. The very softest and fluffiest.
PPPFT DAIN WOULD.
Of course Mahal would get disappointed in his Dwarves, though I feel he has a certain indulgent attitude towards them… but still, I doubt that for instance, the Dwarves who killed Elu Thingol got re-embodied in the Halls somehow.
Mahal obvs doesn’t mind a bit of petty larceny and theft, though. I mean, Nori’s still there! But those who commit grievous and premeditated harm, those who are actually malicious, doing evil with full intent and enjoyment, yes… I don’t think Mahal would have any time for them at ALL.
I also think that Mahal doesn’t really get ANGRY-angry easily… the guy is impatient, sure, but he is also, as Tolkien goes to some pains to say, very humble. Also, as the Maia of stone and minerals and craft, his temper would run slow and cool, like rock… until it REALLY gets hot.
Then, of course – boom.
