Do we even know how big dwarves' feet are? Now you're making me think about it!

They [the feet] seem as though they'd be rather large in proportion to the size of the dwarves. Dwarves always seem stocky, powerfully built (like Boromir), so it makes sense that they would have good sized feet to carry that weight. Though this could all be wishful thinking on my part, as well as Boromir's.

There is just something about a guy telling his wife not to get her beard all in a knot LOL...

Oh, I've always got to get the lady dwarf's beard in their somewhere! It's part of the fun.

I love this series. Could you possibly write one more, when Gimli returns home a hero (yet still his mother's son)?
Author's reply
Thank you for the kind words! I was suffering a bit of writer's block and put out a call for drabble requests; these three were among the results. I've already received requests for at least one more, so it's very likely that we'll see Gimli's reunion with his mom.

I’d happily share, from my mother, on behalf of yours. That's incredibly generous. :D

Thank you! I enjoyed having the opportunity to write a relaxed moment between these two seemingly gruff warriors. Are you familiar with Edoraslass's story, "Under My Wing", about the adventures of little Boromir and Faramir and their Nanny? This drabble was actually inspired by Chapter 48, "A Thankless Task", in which young Boromir refuses to learn the proper care of his clothing and equipment. He certainly had an opportunity to rue that day!

Hehehehe.....what a clever idea...Gimli and his momma! Cute!!! and of course she'd make sure he had warm socks and clean underwear...and a toothbrush.....

Yes, it's probably a good thing she wasn't in charge of his packing for the trip. Thanks for reading and commenting!
