Fili and Kili routinely volunteer.
(Everyone else thinks they’re bonkers.)
Oin has bullied a few others into trying his concoctions for burns, strains and muscle ache. Some of them have even been remarkable successes!
(the most memorable made Fundin think he was a little pixie for three hours. Groin laughed until he was sick.)
Oh oh i know where this began! That was actually something John Callen, the actor who played Oin, came up with. Check out his interview here.
Gloin is the most unmusical dwarf to ever live. Oin has often remarked that it is a blessing he is deaf, because that way he needn’t hear his brother butchering his way through a song.
Thankfully, you don’t need to sing to be an accountant. (Thankfully, his children were taught by others!)
Fili once entered Gimlin-zaram only to be faced with Sam Gamgee… on the throne, as it were. *clears throat*
He left rather hurriedly.
Thrain sticks his tongue between his teeth when he works, especially when crafting the fiddly stuff. He’s in constant danger of biting it off, particularly when hammering. Every master he ever worked under tried to train it out of him. Thrain is a true son of the Durin line, though. He could not be daunted! DU BEKAR.
Gimli still owns his childhood Azaghal toy.
Bomfris went through a period in her fifties of sewing raven feathers to her clothes. Then she remembered that she hates sewing.
Jeri is the undisputed darts champion of Erebor.
Hrera refuses – flat out refuses – to wear the same piece of jewellery two days in a row. She has to change it around each day. She has a system now – a rota of earrings and bracelets and brooches and ear-cuffs and hair-beads, all arranged neatly on her jewellery trees. She has been known to modify pieces so that they appear slightly different!
And Dwalin is the one who kisses both the child AND their doll goodnight. (and woe betide Wee Thorin when he lets that slip!)
