A Hobbit should never be ignored. Let that be a lesson for Elves trying to be sneaky. Bilbo is not glaring, oh no, that would be rude, as he corners Lindir. The Elves of Rivendell have been acting weird for a while now. They smile at him and whisper behind their hands but never give him a clear answer. If they wanted to keep a secret they really shouldn't do that. Even fauntlings know that! So he has cornered Lindir, young enough in Elf years to still be wrapped around him and his stories but old enough to know what is happening, arms crossed and eyebrows raised. Lindir is looking anywhere but Bilbo.
"What are you trying to hide from me?" he uses his best parent voice and Lindir squirms. And isn't that something that he's proud of being able to get normally unmovable Elves squirm.
"I have no clue what you're talking about."
He just stares longer at the Elf, however right as the young Minstrel is about to break Lord Elrond appears. And Lord Elrond is not someone who breaks under his parental looks, nope he just has to switch gears to puppy dog eyes. Lindir of course takes Elrond's appearance to flee leaving him with the Halfelven.
"Torturing my poor minstrel again?"
"I merely wish to know what you and the others are hiding from me."
"We are hiding nothing."
Bilbo fights back the snort and widens his eyes a bit. Elrond merely ruffles his hair, knowing that Bilbo hates that. Just then Erestor, Elrond's Head Steward and Councillor, enters the area with a wide smile.
"They're here!"
"Who's here?!"
