  Summary

  At the party after Aragorn and Arwen's wedding, a new couple meets a very old couple.

  Erestor and Glorfindel think these kids are adorable and proceed to start namedropping famous dwarves they've met, reminiscing about the Actually Fairly Terrible Old Days, and attempting to teach Gimli the difference between the various kindreds of the Firstborn without causing a diplomatic incident.

  Later, Legolas drops a few eaves and hears Nice things.

  That's it, that's the fic.
