I'm not very cognizant of the dwarven history, but must say you did a great job of showing us Bofur's despair at being left homeless and nearly kinless.
I particularly liked the interesting way you drew the subtle comparison between Bofur, who feels like he was never young, and Fili (in his father's view at least) being born old. I have a feeling somewhere down the line, the owner of the new toy might become fast friends with the toy maker's nephew.
This was a great "pull out", something that's often hard to do out of a larger story. While it leaves the reader guessing at what might come next, it still has a beginning, middle, and end that makes it a satisfactory read.
Loved the pic that accompanied this too, of what Bofur might have seen from his balcony view!
