Hey everyone! This is just a few short thoughts I had on some of the Hobbit's characters last night. It took me a while to get it off my Note's on my phone and onto the computer but now that I know how to I can upload more of my stories that I have in my Note's on my phone so I'm happy about that.

DISCLAIMER : I DO NOT OWN "THE HOBBIT", ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT ARE IN J.R.R. TOLKIEN'S ORIGINAL WORKS ALL OF THE CREDIT GOES TO HIM.

Anyway, this was inspired by some of the feelings I've been having about my family who have been really supportive of me lately since I am getting ready to head off to college at the end of the year and my eighteenth birthday is coming up. It's a big leap for me and I guess I wanted to put some of my feelings into some of the characters.

CHAPTER ONE:

THE 'RI' BROTHERS

Ori, Dori, and Nori

—§-•-§—§-•-§—§-•-§—§-•-§—


~•~ ORI ~•~

Ori has always had his brothers at his back to support him and he them through every excursion they have faced.

Sure his oldest brother Dori's over bearing protectiveness can get tiring at times and his second older brother Nori doesn't exactly set the best example for a young person to follow but they are his brothers, his family, and no matter what, through thick and thin they have stuck together.

Dori was the one who relentlessly petitioned Lord Balin to take him on as his apprentice without his determinedness to see that Ori would have a better future he would probably be stuck doing something much less savory for a living he wouldn't have all the opportunities he has now or made great friends in the young Prince's Fili and Kili.

And if it wasn't for Nori not being afraid to do what he had to do so the three of them could survive and have enough to get by Ori would have wasted away to nothing long ago and Dori most likely would have fallen to grief of losing both his younger brothers since he had been the oldest and thus the one in charge of providing for their small family.

In return Ori makes sure that Nori never has to spend more than one night in jail, that Dori takes time to sit down and relax without worrying about anything and that both his brothers know how much he loves them and just how thankful he is to have them as his brothers.

He is never without the support of his two elder brothers and Ori makes sure that they are not without his support too.

~•~ DORI ~•~

Dori was given over the responsibility of caring for his two younger brothers younger than most would have.

Even when his mother had still been living she had been ill much of the time and the other too busy trying to keep food in their stomachs and a roof over their small families heads to mind him and his two younger brothers very much.

It often left the raising of the two youngest Ri brothers to the elder who really hadn't been much more than a child himself at the time.

But even as a dwarfling Dori had been strong and resilient and for the most part did well at caring for his younger brothers.

Even after their Mum died and thing took a turn for the worst Dori always made sure to care for his brothers best interests, to support them in any way he could. For Ori it had been to use some of his pig headed stubbornness to petition Lord Balin to take him on as his apprentice making sure that his youngest brother would have a good future after he came of age and completed his training.

And for Nori it had really just been a matter of letting his middle brother know that he was there for him and that though he disapproved of his methods of helping he was grateful and no matter what he would choose to do he would stand by him and never turn him away.

The the three of them were brothers after all, family.

He may have made a few mistakes Mahal knew if he had been stronger Nori wouldn't have had to turn to something so drastic to help them get by and Ori would perhaps not be a small as he is be Dori had done his best and no matter their circumstances then or now he has always supported his brothers and they him.

~•~ NORI ~•~

His brothers have always meant the world to him. Yes, he has always found him older brother Dori's mothering ways annoying and at times his stiff nature a little prissy but just like their little brother Ori, Dori was his brother, his family and he would not trade him for anything.

Their lives had never been easy, though once he was at an age to understand just how much so it wasn't Nori made sure to help out in any way that he could.

If his actions ended up sullying his name and reputation but if it gave Dori a little rest and put some extra food into Ori's worryingly small body then he had been all to happy to do it.

He knew that his older brother had disapproved of his methods of helping them out and that his younger brother was only all to aware of the rather unfavorable things he did and still does to put a little more food on the table and coins in their purses but when it comes to his brothers Nori has always been prepared to do anything he needed to do to care for them and support them if they were unable to do so themselves.

He is grateful for his brothers support in return even of they had their own separate ways of showing it to him.

Ori always makes sure that he doesn't have to spend more time than he needs to in jail when he gets caught since only Mahal knows how much he hated being locked in small places away from his family.

And Dori always manages to push away his disapproval of his more thief like ways to revert back to the time before he started his new occupation just to reassure him that he still loves him and that no matter what he does in the name of whatever he does it, the three of them will always be brothers, a family, and that means they stick together, hold each other up when the others can't and support one another in turn.

That's what family is after all people who support each other no matter what because of their love and Nori certainly has never had doubt about his loving his brothers and their love of him in turn.

So tell me what you think. Like it? Love it? Hate it?

Leave a review or two.

Mostly I've been feeling rather sentimental about my family for some reason nothing bad but all good you know? I'm guessing its coming from getting ready to go away to college and my eighteenth birthday coming up. Cold feet an not really wanting to grow up, or something like that at least.

Next Chapter : Bofur, Bifur and Bomber family feels.
