愛しのリチャード・アーミティッジ(Richard Armitage)に捧ぐ — grendel's mum's blog

Well, Bilbo.   

Come to think of it, 
to me really nothing much has ever been lost. 
My beloved Clarita, who I thought had long gone, 
the Stone, which belongs to the King but disappointingly was not in my possession, 
the trust and loyalty of my folks, 
and the friendship with you, Bilbo. 
I still do have all these after all.  

Now I thoroughly understand 
the reason why the halfling would not hand me the Stone. 
He was never going to, while I was not being my own self. 

Bilbo, 
forgive me. 
You have risked your own life to save mine. 
Why did I ever doubt your friendship? 

Let us survive this great war, 
so that I may welcome you as my best friend 
to the banquet hall of our new Kingdom of Erebor. 
Though it makes me smile 
to think that you would rather go back to your own home. 
Fine. 
Go home, 
plant the acorn, 
and live happily ever after with the growing tree in your garden. 
Do expect to find me standing outside your door, alone, 
any evening soon. 
No need to serve me tea, 
but remember to save some tasty cheese 
and beer for me, please, my friend.
