The Trouble With Courting

by steelgray

Subject: Bilbo Baggins. Situation: Dire. Who knew that feet could cause such issues? Bilbo learns that they can when he finds himself being courted. But Thorin doesn't need to know! He can handle it himself...or so he thinks. The Company disagrees. 100 Word Drabble Series. ThorinxBilbo, Thilbo Bagginshield. Slash. Rated T for some violence/angst.

14. Obtuse? Are You Calling Me Fat?

Hehe. I like my chapter title. And no, not at all fat. Thanks for the response to the last chapter!

"But, Bilbo!" Ori was quick to retaliate, "Being given access to records is an important job, a real honor!"

"That, let me repeat, nobody is allowed to do!" Dori adds.

"Which is why I had better not jeopardize it with a silly little issue," Bilbo said primly, standing up, teacup in hand. "Thank you three for all of your help, but I'm going to go to my room. I think a nap is in order after all of this fuss. Good day."

And with that, their burglar left them, all shaking their heads.

"Hobbits," sighed Nori, "Can be so obtuse."
