  Summary

  Bilbo is irritated at Thorin for whatever reason and decided to express it the Hobbit way. Except the Hobbit was is subtle as hell, like overseasoning their food constantly addressing them formally, giving them gifts that are unsuited to them or sized wrong, the kind of stuff that can be really easily misinterpreted to people not aware of the implications
  So to Thorin, Bilbo's irritation comes off as courtship attempts
