Everything about Madison Valley was strange and unusual. With the exception of Thorin and the other Dwarves. Their presence in the town, even Aragorn's, brought some normalcy to the little Hobbit's life here. Which was strange as well -- before his adventures with Gandalf and the Dwarves, normal had a much different meaning. He was glad to have gone on the adventure, though, and was glad to have met everyone he'd met along the way.
Perhaps he should just consider this a new adventure.
The strangest thing at the moment was the fact that Bilbo was employed. And that he'd come home after work and fallen asleep on the couch reading. While there had been times in the Shire where he'd gone to bed early, he'd never unintentionally fallen asleep. Not before heading to bed to sleep properly.
Bilbo was generally a hard sleeper, but his year or so with the Dwarves had made him more in tune with the sound of a Dwarf walking around. So when he heard the sound of Thorin's boots in the hallway, even while sleeping, his eyes shot open. Part of him still associated the sound with heading to the mountain, being out in the wilderness, possible danger. It took him a moment or two to recognize his surroundings. To recognize that Thorin's walking down the hall was just that -- there was no danger here.
"What time is it?" he asked, as he heard the Dwarf come closer. He sat up, peering in the direction in which he heard his friend.
