dis'd and dismissed [In reply to] Can't Post

Not sure if the Dwarves would have been more dismissive of Bilbo. I mean, they've just descended on his house, eaten his whole pantry, made a mess ... and beneath all of this chaos is this thread of politeness on both sides (Bilbo and the Dwarves), the kind of thing you show strangers (especially well-armed ones, or ones whose houses you've invaded)... there's a fine balance there between the Dwarves chuckling at Thorin's "what's you weapon of choice" and "looks more like a grocer" and being loudly (they were already fairly loud and contentious) contentious, or saying really rude things about Bilbo (I think they have more civility than that)...

Was there a different way to handle the Gandalf moment? Not sure...

Go outside and play...

        Agreed, I'm not sure why they had him reuse the same trick. // Nevrast Send a private message to Nevrast Feb 5 2013, 4:49am
    It is such a power. A greater taste of the presence of the Ainu within. AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Feb 5 2013, 6:59am
