The Dangerous Adventures (Semi-Open)

[ViceVersa]

Immediately after hearing the bird's words, he swung onto his horse. The bird had flown off his shoulder after giving him the message. With little urging, his horse galloped towards the Shire. He galloped through the streets and up the hill towards Bag End. Upon reaching the gate, he dismounted, while talking to his horse in the elven language. He did not bother to tie his horse, for he knew he would not run. Opening the gate, Strider walked to the door. He banged on it, hoping that the hobbit would not be slow in opening it. Aragorn was covered in dust from his travels and probably to the hobbit, would not be a guest that you would currently wanted to invite in. It was now that he realized his hood was still on his head. He pushed it off, so as not to frighten the hobbit.

The dwarf had quickly followed his new companions back into the hobbit hole' , sitting in the seat that he had previously been occupying, rocking back once more. At the sight of food, Kili's hand hastily shot forwards and he grabbed one of everything, except the vegetables, and took a large bite of a cookie. "Thanks, master Baggins," he mumbled through the mouthful until he swallowed, "Oops, sorry. Women about."

Yet another knock on the door had Kili up on his feet. Glancing out of the window, all he saw was a figure in a hood. Slowly, he grasped his bow and set an arrow loosely in position. He would stay behind Bilbo.

Bilbo got out his pipe and after filling it with tobacco and some dried vanilla, sat down on a chair as he lit it up and leaned back in the chair to relax. He chuckled at Kili, "Yes Kili, we have to remember our manners." He told the Dwarf with a grin. The grin vanished when there was again another knock at the door, "Another?" Putting his pipe down after dumping the tobacco and vanilla into the fireplace, walked to the nearest window to look out at who was at the door.

"Strange.." Bilbo said as he quickly walked to the door, "I'm coming!" He yelled to whoever was waiting for him to answer. Opening the door, he looked up at the tall bloke, "How may I be of service?" He asked, noticing that the man was covered in dust that was possibly from the trails the man was travelling on, "If you are looking for a Mr.Bilbo Baggins that would be me." Something was telling the Hobbit that Gandalf, again sent this man to his hobbit hole. Standing next to the door frame, Bilbo reached for his sword, wrapping his stubby fingers around it he looked up at the strange man.

Bali rocked back and forth on her chair, munching happily on a celery stick. Her gaze was trained on the table, but at the sound of a knock, and Kili getting up, the female's attention was directed to the door. Pulling the vegetable out of her mouth, the end was rather singed. Sitting properly, Bali let her thoughts wander.

[Keriae]

Kili stood tall behind Bilbo, chin raised and his bow in position should he need to let the arrow loose. His dark, almost black orbs were set on the hooded figure stood in the doorway. The dwarf couldn't see the stranger's face, but he was certain he didn't know him; definitely a him, from his broad shoulders. There was no harm in being suspitious about someone if you couldn't even see any of their features. "Who are you?"

[Xhat]

{Translation: Do you speak elvish?}

Bali took quite an interest at the man at the door, and had to stand up to get a better view of him. He looked quite familiar... but she couldn't be quite sure. The female hybrid walked up behind Kili, poking her head over his shoulder. One hand on her quiver, Bali knew that this man was with them. Curiousity getting the best of her, she spoke, "Pedil edhellen?"

[ViceVersa]

Aragorn looked at the hobbit, "Good morning Mr. Baggins, I am sorry to disturb you, but Gandalf has sent me here." Taken aback by the elven words, he replied "lá" (yes in the elven language). He turned to the dwarf, "Withdraw your bow, I am a friend of Gandalf. I am Aragorn, the 16th Chieftain of the Dúnedain of the North. And I have come with words from Gandalf." He pulls down the hood of his cloak. He looks at Bilbo, "My news is troubling."

[Keriae]

Kili slowly lowered his bow but kept the arrow knocked into place. As Aragorn spoke, the dwarf listened carefully and nodded. Of course Gandalf would be behind this; wasn't he always?

Hesitantly, with the bow and arrow hanging in one hand, he extended the second in an offer to shake hands. "Any friend of Gandalf is a friend of mine." he replied quietly.

[Xhat]

Bali had soon returned to her seat, gaze locking on the ceiling. Her crystal blue eyes clouded as her thoughts wandered, mostly of what news Aragorn was bearing. Absent-mindedly, the female plucked the string on her bow, making a clear, twang, sound. Realizing she was making quite a racket, Bali held the string until it stopped vibrating. The hybrid let out a silent sigh, just wanting to hear the news and do whatever Gadalf had summoned her to do. 'Where is Gandalf, anyways?' she wondered, once more crossing one leg over the other.

The Hobbit looked up at the man, so Gandalf did send him here.. but why? Maybe it is in the news that Aragorn has to say, Bilbo stepped out of the way of the door, "Please come inside, anyone who is friends of Gandalf is welcome." When the man was inside, Bilbo closed the door, "Just what kind of troubling news is it? Is gandalf alright?" The Hobbit asked.

Then with a motion of his right hand, led the way back to the dining room, "Please help yourselves.. if you need anything let me know." Bilbo told everyone as he perched himself onto a chair. He as a host will go without until all of his guests have had their fill, so he picked his pipe back up, prepared it and started smoking it.
