Summary
“My mother told me the tale of Erebor once when I was young."
Thorin startles slightly.
“I did not realize it was so famous among hobbits,” he says after several seconds.
“Oh, it isn’t. My mother was...a story collector, of sorts. I don’t think any hobbit would even know the story now, save for me. I remember thinking when I first heard it how awful it must have been for the dwarves who lost everything that day.” Bilbo finally looks over at Thorin. “I am sorry for what you’ve gone through.”
Thorin holds his eye, expression unreadable, before he ducks his head in acknowledgment.

Growing up, Bilbo never thought his penchant for storytelling would have such far-reaching consequences.
