Summary
”Still no luck then?”, asked Dwalin when he passed him down the hall.
”What do you think?”, asked Balin in return, rolling his eyes. Dwalin smirked humorlessly as he joined his brother on his path away from the king’s study.
”He’ll have to get over him eventually, he can’t go on like this forever.”
Balin made a noncommittal sound in the back of his throat. It was times like these that clearly showed how much longer and better he knew their king than his younger brother did.
“He has to face reality, as we all do”, Dwalin continued on. “Bilbo’s gone and won’t return and all we can do is try tend to our wounds. It’s what Bilbo would have wanted. That we help each other heal.”
”You’re right, it's what Bilbo would have wanted us to do……now that he’s dead.”
Or: I see your “Bilbo returns to the Shire thinking Thorin died” and I raise you “Bilbo returns to Erebor finding out everyone thinks HE died”!

Summary
Briar Baggins was a disappointment to those in the Shire who once expected that she would become someone exceptional. She was difficult to coax from her study, often withdrawing into books about lands far beyond their green, rolling hills.
It came as a surprise when Briar accepted an invitation from her cousin to visit Bucklebury, and returned some time later with a baby in her arms. A baby that malicious gossips insisted had been seen wearing tiny socks, of all things!
No doubt things would settle down again after that bit of excitement.
A proper gentlehobbit would not chase after adventure well into her middle age, after all.
