BUT EVERYTHING'S BETTER WITH THE MOOSE I'M JUST SAYING
And yes, I love the angle you took with this, that Thranduil had seen the Arkenstone even before Bilbo brought it out. It fits so nicely with Thranduil's first appearance in the movie, and it makes so much sense to give another reason why Thranduil would have turned away from the dwarves. Though the way you phrase it, "those who fight over the Silmarils" -- that makes it sound almost like Smaug flew into Erebor partly because the Silmaril was there? At any rate, good for Thranduil, who had the strength of will to not pursue the stone for himself.
