As Bilbo speaks, Thorin’s expression changes to a mixture of sorrow and anger, Thranduil and Bard look worried, as they thought Bilbo was still safely in Dale, Thorin and the other dwarves look at Bilbo in shock.
"You . . ." Thorin trailed off
"I took it as my fifteenth share" Bilbo replied
"You would steal from me?" Thorin asked
"Steal from you?" Bilbo replied "no. No. I may be a burglar, but I like to think I’m an honest one. I’m willing to let it stand against my claim"
"Against your claim?!" Thorin shouted "your claim! You have no claim over me you miserable rat!"
Thorin throws down his bow in anger and begins walking toward Bilbo,
"I was going to give it to you" Bilbo said "many times I wanted to, but . . ."

"You are changed, Thorin!" Bilbo exclaimed "the dwarf I met in Bag End would never have gone back on his word! Would never have doubted the loyalty of his kin!"

The Evantree Clan had their own armor specially made by their father, never thinking that they'd actually need it, but the situation calls for it at the moment, Kili looking at his One. He hadn't expected Ryneela to dress for battle, he had told her to run and hide, but he knew that she would not listen, never before seeing the Evantree Clan actually fighting before, but they were all in for a show.
