The Battlements.

It was a miracle that they had all survived the winter. Hunting and gathering had done very little to strengthen the food rations; everyone had to tighten their belts and hope that they could endure the extreme rationing. Now that spring was upon them, enough time had passed between now and the end of the battle; talks of trade could finally be revisited – though Balin had been dreading this day since Thorin had been adamant in putting them off two and some months ago. Balin had tried his best to ease Thorin into the idea of trade with the Woodland Realm, though the King saw fit to fight him on the idea at every turn. It was difficult to explain to someone so put off by the thought of trade with elves that the entire area circling the mountain was completely desolate – it would take another miracle just to grow something.

With the rebuilding largely underway, Thorin had tasked Bofur with making sure that coal – normally used to fuel the many forges within the mountain – was in good supply. It was still too early yet to establish trade agreements with Mirkwood so soon after the battle and Thranduil's poor attempt at diplomacy – according to Balin. After hearing the stories of Smaug's invasion, and the time spent in the elven King's dungeons, Bofur didn't trust the elf either. Dragonfire had made quick work of all the wooded areas surrounding the mountain, and with Thorin's adamant stance against trading with elves for the time being, the King Under the Mountain turned to coal for keeping the residents warm.

Ch 2: Denial & Discovery 

The ceremony was a small gathering, primarily composed of the company, Bard, a small group of Mirkwood elves, Beorn and the two wizards - all those Bilbo had encountered this side of the Misty Mountains. Gandalf looked, in Ori's honest opinion, quite troubled as the small coffin was lowered into the ground. He remembered when Tharkûn had mentioned he wanted to bury Bilbo elsewhere, to follow the traditions of Bilbo's people; he could understand that. Ori did a lot reading, not quite brave enough to question Balin and Dwalin about their experiences during Azanulbizar. When Thrór had failed to retake Khazad-dûm, he remembered reading that the survivors of that battle couldn't return the dead to the stone.
