OMG he really was trying to get them killed! *shakes fist* You can't have them, no you can't! *cuddles Fíli and Kíli – and Dís*

He was! Bad, bad dwarf! Very bad father! Poor Thorin, I felt so terrible for him in this chapter, all his hopes that his father could be cured slipping away....

Oh Bilbo... *gnaws nails* All this underestimating of the One is going to give me a heart attack.

Oh God, I know! I can see why, but it just kills me...

Oh Balin... he's known Thror even longer...

It's true! I'm sure he's been so looking forward to being back in Erebor and healing the King, and then to have it seem not to work...

headdesk. Only Bilbo, I swear. I bet that was the most fun while writing this chapter... pitting Bilbo against all TEH SERIOUS DWARFS.

It was so fun! That's absolutely what hobbits are far in a narrative--everyone being so high and noble and serious and Bilbo deflating them, lol...

Scholar!Thorin is going to be on the job researching spooky rings, I promise!

And Bilbo with a somewhat lopsided gold circlet made me really happy. :)

Yay, I'm glad you're free at last! *throws a hobbit-party*
