[ Bilbo does not want to start thinking about any naked Thorins here, so kindly shut up, thank you.
Being wound tight so long and so continuously with his structured ideas of how to act and how to talk to others, there's always that initial desire to defend himself when he's the focus of someone's teasing. However, Fili, Kili, Bofur, they've repeatedly needled at that uptight nature of his and it's become easier to relax amongst friendly banter. So the agitation is there, only for a moment, and then it eases into something far warmer, more welcoming, until he's left to smoother an amused breath.
Well, Gandalf once said that Bilbo would not be returning as the same hobbit. Little wonder, he may very well be right.
He's not entirely changed though, no. Even with the underlying amusement, he continues the facade of respectability and plays his part of stuffy disinclination. ] Yes well. It was bound to happen. [ Unbuckles, unties and then it's to unbuttoning one, lone button. ] You lot have been an awful influence on me. [ Except the words are tinged with a fondness that ruins the strength behind such chiding. Strangely enough, he doesn't mind it.
Oh? Bilbo isn't about to go riffling through Thorin's pack. Erm, again anyway. ]
