“So, this is the Hobbit." It was now that Thorin paid Bilbo the smallest acknowledgement. "Tell me, Mr. Baggins, have you done much fighting?” Bilbo's mannerisms already spoke against this; Thorin was quite sure he'd never picked up a sword, let alone fought with one.
All was confirmed when Bilbo stammered out a small "pardon me?"
Thorin glanced up as Dwalin and the other dwarves gathered in the foyer upon his meeting. “Axe or sword? What’s your weapon of choice?” Again, he was calm, though his gaze was critical at best.
“Well, I have some skill at Conkers, if you must know, but I fail to see why that’s relevant.” Bilbo wasn't quite on the same page, and he moved aside some so to make room for the crowd of dwarves.
“Thought as much." Thorin glanced to the others now, his tone somewhat mocking. "He looks more like a grocer than a burglar.” This earned a few laughs and hearty chuckles from the rest of the group. Bilbo was definitely not a warrior.
"But you're our godmother." To some extent, Kili understood Thorin's hatred for elves. They had denied their people help, after all. Saeril was not one of the ones who had denied help, though. Surely his uncle would not object to her -- would he? This was upsetting. "You shouldn't have to do that," he didn't feel it right that she should have to conceal her own race. "I could speak with him, if you'd like." A one on one conversation with his uncle was a touch intimidating, but Kili was willing.
