Disclaimer: I do not own The Hobbit

Bilbo had been waiting to get another call, telling him when and where but after an entire empty day, he was growing anxious. At last, he received a call from none other than Thorin himself. "It has come to my attention that I may have seemed rude the other day. I shall admit that, at first, I thought a secretary would be a burden placed upon me by the misguided thought of necessity my family has towards me. That turned out quite incorrect and I not only wish to apologize, but also to thank you for not reciprocating my bad attitude towards me." Thorin seemed to have a very elaborate and elegant way of speaking, and Bilbo found it quite interesting. "In conclusion I wish to invite you to dinner this evening."

"It would be my pleasure and my honor to accompany you to dinner." Bilbo smiled into the phone. He knew, with Thorin, it would be a purely work related meal but, it was a meal with a handsome, if not grumpy, guy and he was excited.
