Chapter 7!
Start of recap...
[Gandalf:] “Hobbits are remarkably light on their feet. In fact, they can pass unseen by most if they choose.
And while the dragon is accustomed to the smell of dwarf, the scent of hobbit is all but unknown to him, which gives us a distinct advantage.
You asked me to find the fourteenth member of this company, and I have chosen Mr. Baggins.
There’s a lot more to him than appearances suggest, and he’s got a great deal more to offer than any of you know, including himself. You must trust me on this.”
[Thorin:] “Very well. We will do it your way.
[Bilbo:] “No, no, no.”
[Thorin:] “Give him the contract.”
[Bilbo:] “Please.”
[Bofur:] “Alright, we’re off!”
Balin hands Bilbo a long contract, Bilbo stares at it and Calen gets out of Kilis arms to look at it herself
End of recap...
Third person pov...
[Balin:] “It’s just the usual summary of out-of-pocket expenses, time required, remuneration, funeral arrangements, so forth.”
[Bilbo:] “Funeral arrangements?”
As Bilbo steps back a few feet to read the contract, Calen sighs and gives up on trying to read the paper.
Thorin leans toward Gandalf and whispers to him.
[Thorin:] “I cannot guarantee his safety.”
[Gandalf:] “Understood.”
[Thorin:] “Nor will I be responsible for his fate.”
[Gandalf:] “Agreed.”
Bilbo reads parts of the contract out loud.
[Bilbo--reading:] “Terms: Cash on delivery, up to but not exceeding one fourteenth of total profit, if any.
Seems fair. Eh, Present company shall not be liable for injuries inflicted by or sustained as a consequence thereof including but not limited to lacerations ... evisceration … incineration?”
Calen visibly gluped, her face pale, "holy shit, ow" she exclaimed as gandalf obviously heard her swear and put his hand over her mouth.
"hmpp" she grunted under Gandalfs hand.
[Bofur:] “Oh, aye, he’ll melt the flesh off your bones in the blink of an eye.”
Bilbo looks a little breathless.
[Bilbo:] “Huh.”
[Balin:] “You all right, laddie?”
Bilbo bends over, nauseous and pained.
