Summary: A cultural misunderstanding




Dwarves were confoundedly confusing, Bilbo thought for the umpty-umth time. He'd thought Bofur and Bombur (and Bifur, but it was much harder to tell with him), not to mention the three youngest, had started to really accept him as part of the expedition. Certainly they'd all of them been enthusiastic about the rabbits with cloud-berry sauce, hazelnuts and onions he had concocted. Now Bofur was calling him a 'square fellow' and the others were chiming right in! Smiling! As if it weren't a put-down!

Bombur clued him in. Of course it was a compliment — perfect lines and angles, how not?
