The dwarfs, the two hobbits and the wizard start to manoeuvre themselves towards the front door to meet the mystery visitor. Bobbie shuffles beside Fili in the bundle of bodies and taps him on the shoulder lightly. He turns to her after the light pressure is felt on his shoulder. "Who's here Fili?" She whispers gently to him. "You'll find out soon enough." Fili whispers back with a teasing smirk to his lips.

Bobbie puffed out her cheeks and rolled her eyes in exasperation. That was not the answer she was looking for. Fili quietly chuckles at her facial expression, finding it difficult to not find her adorable.

They all finally arrive at their destination and open the door. There stands another dwarf. He has long black hair with greying streaks framing his face. There are braids scattered about with small intricate beads placed at the end of each one. He looked stoic and almost regale, but his short beard would tell another story. It seemed odd, all the older dwarfs have long, breaded beards. Why not him?

He gracefully enters the Baggins household with nobility in his stance. "Gandalf. I thought you said this place would be easy to find. I lost my way, twice. Wouldn't have found it at all had it not been for that mark on the door." He explains confidant in a grumbly voice, whilst he handed his coat off to one of the other dwarfs.

"Mark? There's no mark on that door. It was painted a week ago!" Bilbo proclaims while walking over to Gandalf, who swiftly shuts the door as to not anger the hobbit anymore then he has been this evening. Bobbie decided to stay quiet about the mark on the door, she too did not want to encounter her brother's rage.

"There is a mark; I put it there myself. Bilbo and Bobbie Baggins allow me to introduce the leader of our company, Thorin Oakenshield." Gandalf says as he gestured to the sister to step forward from beside the older Durin brother. She slowly steps forward towards her brother, intimidated by the new dwarf.

"So, these are the Hobbits. Tell me, Mr. Baggins have you done much fighting?" Thorin questions the older sibling, circling him like he was his prey for feasting.

"Pardon me?" Bilbo asked very confused about the situation at hand.

"Axe or sword? What's your weapon of choice?" Thorin continues, ignoring the reactions of the confused hobbit in-front of him.

"Well, I have some skill at Conkers, if you must know, but I fail to see why that's relevant." Bilbo started very confident but slowly trailed of, realising how foolish he sounded.

Thorin chuckled, "Thought as much. He looks more like a grocer than a burglar." The dwarves all laugh.

Bobbie frowns at the new dwarf's statement towards her brother, "Excuse me? How do you have any right to come into my home and talk to my brother like that. You do not know him and have no right to say such things." Bobbie immediately regrets her outburst as the room goes silent and the tension begins to rise.
