Behind them he could see the skeletons shambling forward in pursuit--all but one, which was holding Bilbo's daisy-patterned umbrella, gazing up at it in puzzlement until it was lost to view in the mists.
Okay, that scene was pretty intense, but I couldn't help bust smile imagining that skeleton staring at the umbrella and Bilbo over Thorin’s shoulder looking at it. Excellently done!

"--you imbecile!" Thorin's hands were clenched into fists.
Ouch

Balin sighed, still holding on to Kíli's wrist. "He means, 'I'm very worried about my nephews,' lad," he said to Bilbo's stricken face.
"He also means, 'Thank you for trying to protect them,'" Dwalin added.
AWWWW,they were so sweet

Balin checked their pulses with gentle hands, touched their foreheads. "I believe they may be out of danger," he said, and Bilbo sagged with relief.
Great! And a good idea with the sweets. :)

"But Mr. Baggins isn't unqualified," Kíli said eventually, his voice a bit rough and his face still hidden in Thorin's vast fur collar. "He can cook the best rabbit stew, and he tells funny stories that make us laugh, and sings silly songs--"
That was so nice. :)

We shall see if the fault is in his choice of weapons or his spirit."
Oh, I’m sure Thorin notices soon (if he didn’t already) Bilbo has a brave and generous spirit. :)

Loved it! I’m happy they are all together now. They are so amazing together and it’s wonderful to see Thorin how much he cares about his nephews. Oh and I was sorry for Thorin while he was talking with Kíli and Fíli about other members of their family.
I’m looking forward to a new chapter. :)

I really like to imagine that skeleton being like "What...what is this?" and keeping it with him always. :)

AWWWW,they were so sweet

I like the idea that Balin and Dwalin might have gotten good at translating Thorin into Westron!

Oh, I’m sure Thorin notices soon (if he didn’t already) Bilbo has a brave and generous spirit. :)

He's noticed, he just hasn't...noticed that he's noticed. *grin*

I'm so happy to finally have them all together in the same place, yay! Now the real adventure begins for Bilbo--dealing with Thorin! :)
