[dictated/action] A Hobbit and his ramblings

[unexpected_adventures]

[Bilbo thinks of what to say before scratching his quill onto his journal, as he's sitting under the large bows of a tree. He's outside once more, as he finds himself becoming a constant visitor the castle's grounds. The large tree just outside the castle walls is one of his favourite sitting spots. For either writing, reading or just relaxing. He is happy because Thorin has joined him within the castle. Now, he has more people from his own world. Something, this hobbit is pleased about.]

A curious question if you like, regarding the castle and it's choice of who it places inside it's walls. Thorin Oakenshield, my dwarf friend, has recently been brought here by the castle's choice. Did it know that I was thinking of having dwarven company? Or is the selection random? I am wondering if the castle knows what we are thinking all the time.

As if, it knows what I am writing at this very moment and is thinking of ways to sate my thoughts. Does the castle have an intelligence of some kind? I am just curious if anyone else thinks the same thing as me.

Or am I just rambling on like an old hobbit? My father would say I've had too much to drink and my mind starts rabbiting on about useless ideas. If someone thinks about having a friend or family member here, do they suddenly appear? As if by magic? [Bilbo stared at the page of his journal, before looking up at the moving clouds above.]

Well, that's about it. Another ramble by this hobbit and I hope someone can give me some feedback on my curiosity.

Dictated

If it worked that way, I think some of the people I know from home would still be here - or they would have come back not long after.

It is a nice thought, though. And I'm glad your friend showed up. Is he a miner?

[he just learned about dwarves recently, so he is somewhat eager to show his conscientiousness about them]

Oh, Thorin? No, he isn't a miner, even though he's a dwarf. [Oh no. Thorin is much more than a lowly miner.] He's future king of his homeland and a strong warrior. He's also a good blacksmith too. [Because Bilbo has heard stories from Balin.]

[fanstheflame]

Wow. ... He sounds like quite the person to have on your side. ... Paradisa's pretty fond of taking royalty. We've had at least a couple of other kings, too.

[unexpected_adventures]

He is. Oh? What other kings have you had here? Just out of curiosity of course. [Bilbo smiled shyly.]

[fanstheflame]

I didn't actually know either of them, but one called himself the King in the North.

[he also doesn't know he's ... uh ... still here. just because the person you knew who knew him is gone, you assume they both are. good job, Gale.]
