Bilbo: It happens a lot? That you have to receive unexpected visitors? Elrond: … That moment when an unexpected visitor arrives at your house and you have to change your pleasant outfit for a more beautiful and uncomfortable one, and act polite and cordially? Bilbo: that's right, and it's not that I don't like receiving visitors, but I would like to meet them first and invite them myself, instead of them appearing out of nowhere without communicating or warning in advance. Elrond: And it's not enough to receive the inconvenient visit, you have to smile and offer your best hospitality. Bilbo: and yet the inconvenient visitor doesn't realize that they are being inconvenient, and still accept the food you offered because decorum dictates that you offer it, but you didn't really want to share it. Elrond: and we stand there, in the corner, thinking to yourself that our favorite part of the house we'd like to show off is- Elrond and Bilbo: the way out! Bilbo: finally someone who understands me! And when the visitors finally decides to leave we will wave and tell that they should stay a longer, even though in our thoughts we are thanking Eru, and all the Valar, for them finally leaving! It is not? Elrond: Yes, it's exactly like that. Now that we're on the same terms, on the same page, now that you understand… Uhh… You're not such a bad visitor, but… When you and your dwarves and wizard leaving? I already have the terrible feeling of anxiety that your friends 'll live here indefinitely. Bilbo: errr!
