Summary: Bilbo and Thorin finally meet
Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is fiction
A/N: Can anyone help with problem I'm having. Another writer wants to adopt one of my fic here, but I don't know how to go about it. Can anyone help?
First Impressions
Bilbo woke up in a soft, not unlike his one in Bag End.
"Finally awake?"
"Gandalf? Gandalf, I just had the oddest dream We got to the mountain and a...a quill spoke to me."
"That was no dream laddie."
The hobbit looked down at his chest. There was a quill there, speaking to him.
"I think I'm going to pass out again."
"No time for that lad. We need your help."
"We?"
"We have arrived at just the right time Bilbo. It seems that Thranduil, angry that he could not get to the gold and jewels of Erebor has cursed the king and his people. And Legolas' have not yet developed to the point where he can remove this curse."
"So what can break it?"
"Someone has to fall in love with our king. But before you meet him, Bilbo I would like to introduce you to Thorin's closest friends and family. Meet Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Balin, Dwalin, Dori, Nori, Ori and Fili and Kili."
Bilbo smiled at all the dwarves as they were introduced.
"So why are you all... y'know?"
Kili answered
"Objects? Thranduil thought one way to get to the gold was to marry me and Legolas. But I was already engaged, by choice, to Fili and Thorin wouldn't split us up. The Elven king got angry and cursed us. We either break the curse or we die."
"Not much of a choice. How is the curse broken?"
"Either I marry Thranduil and he gets access to the gold and jewels or someone falls in love with Thorin."
"Well from what you told me, he seems like a nice dwarf."
He frowned as the dwarves and Gandalf exchanged some odd looks (then again, considering the dwarves were household items, any look shared with them could be considered odd).
"Well, you and Gandalf be eating dinner with him soon. Kili and Oin will help you prepare."
Bilbo smiled down at the cloth doll and mortar and pestle.
"Well then let's go get ready."
Thirty minutes later, Bilbo followed Kili and Oin to the dining area. He sat down at the table, greeting Gandalf.
"Will you be eating with us?"
"No, we eat in another room that has been constructed to fit our needs."
The dwarves left and Bilbo waited anxiously for the king to appear. His arrival was announced by the clacking of claws on stone and a low growl. Shaking in fear, Bilbo looked to the head of the table, where the king sat. He was a...beast. Claws, fangs, drool, Bilbo was going to faint again. He didn't see the looks shared between Gandalf and Thorin, nor did he see Gandalf gesturing furiously for Thorin to say something to the hobbit, anything you fool!
"Ahem, hobbit, I have never travelled to the Shire. Tell me, is it different to my kingdom?"
Bilbo's face lit up as he spoke of his home. Thorin couldn't look away. The hobbit was enticing. He was attractive, smart, funny. Everything Thorin had been looking for before Thranduil cursed him.
Bilbo was enjoying himself. He liked talking about his home, especially when he was so far away. And he liked Thorin. The dwarf was responding at all the right times and kept his eyes fixed on Bilbo as he spoke. It made the hobbit more confident. Thorin seemed like a nice dwarf, kind, attentive and from what Bilbo could tell from the portraits scattered around, he had been very attractive. Maybe Bilbo had a future here.
A/N Done. R&R please. Next chapter, Thranduil searches for his son and Thorin and Bilbo get closer. And please if anyone can help with the question above it would be much appreciated
