I did not trip and fall... anonymous September 19 2013, 00:04:50 UTC

"I did not trip and fall. I attacked the floor and I believe I am winning."

I read this and thought it would make a good prompt. Perhaps Dwalin, Thorin or one of the others got a bit too drunk and is trying to keep their dignity?

Topsy-Turvy

Tonight, the company seems louder and in higher spirits than Bilbo Baggins has ever witnessed so far during their journey. Instead of being suspicious, quiet and on guard as usual whenever taking shelter at an inn, all the dwarves has made their table the center of attention with their laughter, jokes, songs, and numerous calls for refills of their large mugs. Judging by the celebratory atmosphere among the company, one would suspect they have defeated Smaug and finally reclaimed their home. But they haven’t. They only have survived the goblins, Azog, and the Carrock.

So Bilbo Baggins takes this all in with a mixture of bafflement and bemusement. I will never fully understand dwarves, he concludes for the thousandth time since he ran out his door. Over the rim of his drink, the Halfling observes with wonder Thorin, his face flushed and relaxed, swaying and singing along with the others, momentarily free of burdens, broodiness, and hatred ( ... )

This does not go unnoticed by Bilbo, and he blushes in awkward confusion. “Y-yes. I am fine,” he quickly says. “Thank you, Dori, Nori, for your help,” he adds, looking at the brothers on either side of him ( ... )

Even when the Ri brothers return to their drinks and join in the singing, the other three regard Bilbo with serious, searching expressions. He offers them a small smile. He does not understand what all is going on, but he thinks he is starting to a little bit. And while it is bewildering, there is something endearing about it, too. He breaths in relief as his friends seem mollified and relax, though Bifur waves his fork in the air a final time for good measure, while Bofur looks he is considering dragging Bilbo over to their side of the table and the hatted dwarf opens his mouth ( ... )

(OP here.)

This was marvelous! Between the tug-o-war over Bilbo, Balin spinning about on the table and the others' unconcerned amusement at Balin's mishap, I was laughing all the way through!

I love that you chose Balin for this story. I hadn't really considered him for this prompt, but he fit perfectly!

Fantastic fill, thank you! :D

Oh, I am relieved this met your approval! I didn't mean for the prompt to only appear at the very end, but this got away from me. Writing the tug-o-war over Bilbo was lots of fun. And I'm glad you liked Balin filling the prompt. I wanted to use one of the older dwarves, and thought Balin would be an interesting choice (since I picture him as usually the wise and responsible one, rarely if ever having too much to drink).

Thank you for the great prompt, and for reading! :)
