homeless forever

[theburglar]

A new home? I beg your pardon, but I haven't asked for one. What is wrong with my own?

[Frodo is trying to hold back the smile]

Well, I just thought you might be getting on in your years; you might prefer a trip closer to home.

Yes, I'm afraid you are a bit obvious. You forget to put away the maps half the time.

[theburglar]

A trip close to home? Bah. There's no challenge in that.

I guess once you've tasted adventure, it's hard not to go back for more. [He smiles.]

[iorhael]

No, I suppose not, but the challenge lies in whether you come back in one piece after a visit with either of those families.

[He's glad to see that Bilbo has not lost his desire to go out and have a challenge]

Did you have plans for one any time soon?

[theburglar]

Very true. I'd rather not take the chance and remain in one piece, thank you.

I do not. [Actually he does.] However, this writer of mine seems to have making plans for me.

[iorhael]

At last, I think we have found the one adventure you balk at.

Oh? And what sort of plans?

[should he be worried for you, uncle? You know how writers are]
