AN: Okay so this is a little something that I came up with awhile ago. Basically, it's just a bunch of drabbles from the thoughts of each of the company about what Thorin, Fili, and Kili had taught them in the time they had known them. Hope everyone likes it!

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing of The Hobbit. It all belongs to J.R.R. Tolkein and Peter Jackson.

Oin

For as much as Oin didn't hear, he saw twice that amount. He didn't have to hear what was being said to know that Fili and Kili were telling jokes and causing mischief. Or that Thorin was scolding the boys. It was noticed in the relaxed postures of everyone in the company, including Thorin. It was noticed in the stern look Thorin sent his nephews or the roll of his eyes in annoyance. No, Oin didn't have to hear anything to know what was happening with the Line of Durin. He didn't have to hear to see the worshiping look Kili gave his uncle and brother. The inspired look Fili gave Thorin and protective look he gave Kili. And he didn't have to hear to see the pure unabashed love Thorin sent his nephews in just a quick glance; even when Fili and Kili were harassing him and causing trouble. If there was one thing Oin would miss from the Line of Durin it was these quick moments that spelled out everything each of them meant to each other.

Gloin

Gloin was a father; and as a father, he knew nothing about raising children was easy. Which was why he sympathized with Thorin so much. Thorin was the closest the two brothers had for a father and Gloin could see how much he tried. Now, Thorin definitely wasn't perfect and he made mistakes quite often but he never gave up. And Fili and Kili loved him anyways. Gloin always hoped that he would be half the father Thorin was and that Gimli would look at him the way Fili and Kili looked at Thorin for a long time coming. Gloin would miss the Line of Durin, even if for nothing else than being an inspiration.

AN: Please review and send me some feedback.
