Or is it simply because Bilbo is taking far too long to accomplish anything and the unspoken get on with it hangs heavy between them? Cryptic, that's the right word for Thorin or maybe oblivious is more suited for Bilbo. Twisting his mouth, he wants to ask the obvious, but more or less asking for a repetition is akin to walking into a poorly veiled trap.

Perhaps if he pretends to know...

Except, Bilbo's skill of cunning is one he's hardly practiced. So before he's even reached the decision to nod along, the confusion has already been written all across his face, which of course, he himself doesn't realize. Instead, he clears his throat and grabs the roll, keeping his gaze low as he slips off the bed. ]
