[Bilbo was beginning to wonder if he would ever find a way out, although it did not do to think that way. Still, this endless stream of ins and outs was frightfully tiring, and he should so like to take a rest himself. Maybe one of these rooms could be a kitchen, or an orchard, or something nice like that? With food and rest for a weary hobbit before he should start the search for a way back up again once more.

And then, of course, he found himself stumbling through a door and onto the green grass and rolling hills of the Shire. But hang on, there was someone else there. Another hobbit - two other hobbits, in fact. And he had taken fine care of his garden, it's true, but when had it looked quite as magnificent as that?

Bilbo took a step forward, feeling rather awkward for intruding but he should feel even more awkward for standing there and just watching the scene play out instead. He cleared his throat as he stepped forward, sliding Sting back into its sheath - he won't need it again at the moment.] My dear fellow. This is such lovely country, for you to be as upset as you seem to be...

OMG COME TO ME BILBO U PRECIOUS

[ It surprised Frodo when he saw someone else standing beside him.

Sam didn't seem to have a reaction; he looked to the stranger, and gave him a polite nod. But there was something about him that kind of threw Frodo off. He was a hobbit, that much was obvious. There was something else, though. He had a feeling he should recognize this person, but there was something that was preventing that from happening. All he could do was just stare. But that was rude, wasn't it?

Frodo sniffed, trying his best to hold back back the tears. ]

Have you found yourself here, as well?

HERE I AM!!!!

[Bilbo nods.] I suppose that I have, in a matter of speaking. I've just wandered my way here through the most impossible of mazes, you see. I had to fight a number of these dreadful spiders, and it's a miracle I've made it this far. It's just that... Well, pardon me for saying so, this looks an awful lot like my home. It's left me terribly confused about the whole business.

[It's about then that Bilbo realizes that the younger hobbit is sniffing back tears.] Dear fellow. Are you alright? I know that it's quite a lot to adjust to, that I do, but. [He rifles around in his pockets for his pocket handkerchief - surely he's got it here somewhere!]

((ooc: omg i'm so sorry for how late this is forgive me i'd still love to continue it if you're interested ;;))
