Canon is the Hobbit, currently homeless, considering the_library

[luckwearer]

Well yes, the journal is quite nice, and I do appreciate the icons. But I would much prefer to just stay at home. This library place sounds lovely of course, but you know I would miss Bag End horribly so I think it would be better for everyone if I just stayed here, yes?

Besides, with so many Big Folk around... well it would just be so noisy, all of them tramping about. I'd never get any peace and quiet you know. And that's what I want. Peace and quiet. None of those adventures, I'm sure one of the other... lovely people you have up here would enjoy themselves quite a bit more. So just send one of them.

Pssh. Quiet is boring. It's funny when people get angry at you. They never catch me.

[thewanderer]

Adventure is good for the soul, lad.

[Whoops have the biggest Big Folk to have ever been big and a folk]

Frankly, I think you're being difficult. A library is far preferable to some of the places you could be sent.

[luckwearer]

I beg your pardon, quiet is quite nice. There's nothing as relaxing as having a pipe on a quiet morning.

And really, why would you want to make someone chase you?

[luckwearer]

Perhaps, perhaps. But it's really quite tiring and completely disrupts your schedule.

[tidal_trickster]

Because watching those smelly pirates stumble over their own feet even trying to get up is hilarious!

[luckwearer]

Yes, so everyone in this... headspace has been telling me. But really, what is so wrong with wanting to stay home? I like Bag End.

[luckwearer]

Goodness gracious me, pirates? That sounds horrible!

[luckwearer]

And I beg your pardon, but I am most certainly not a "lad."

[Huffs and mutters]

Big Folk always think that anyone smaller than they are is a child...

[thewanderer]

You get used to both, to tell the truth.

[thewanderer]

How old are you? Fifty?

[tidal_trickster]

[Fizz giggles.]

It is! A whole town full of them! They're clumsy and smelly and they can't even walk in a straight line!

[luckwearer]

Yes, well I quite prefer not to, thank you very much.

[Rhyyyys stop talking about those things, adventure is very upseting]

[luckwearer]

Yes, and I do think that does not qualify me as a lad anymore.

[luckwearer]

How awful! I do not think I would ever like to go somewhere like that.

[thewanderer]

I have a good thousand and fifty years on you. I generally get to call whoever I like a lad.

[thewanderer]

Ah, but you may have to.

[luckwearer]

Oh.

[Well that deflates him a bit]

Well... I must say you look remarkably good for your age.

[tidal_trickster]

It's fun living there in Bilgewater!

[thewanderer]

Thank you kindly, Mr. Baggins.

[luckwearer]

Oh no no, I'm sure she wouldn't do something like force me to go. That would just... she wouldn't would she?

[He's getting rather distressed looking just thinking about it]

[luckwearer]

You are quite welcome Mr.... oh goodness I'm terribly sorry I never asked your name. How rude of me.

[luckwearer]

Yes, well I think that I do not quite agree with your definition of fun young... man.

[thewanderer]

I'm afraid they often do.
