Sorry! It's been so long! I just started high school this year and it's very stressful. It's very short but I wanted to give you all something!

     The egg grows much too warm for my liking, Bilbo sees the egg move, he rushes over, effectively startling multiplied dwarfs. There is a presence behind the hobbit and Bilbo can feel it, he looks up and into the eyes of the dwarf he realizes he is slowly falling for. I stop squirming when I am removed from the heat, finally.

     I wiggle around in my egg and some of the dwarfs look over and see it wiggle before they all draw their weapons.

"What is that Mr. Baggins?!" Thorin shouts.

"It's an egg I suppose. I found it the other night when I was returning from my grocery shopping." Bilbo responds.

Many of the dwarfs look at the egg I've shifted into. Sort of. I've shifted into a creature in the egg and I am startling many of the dwarfs everytime I move a little. Gandalf's eyes widen and he looks at Bilbo quickly.

"Master Baggins! It might be wise to entrust me with this egg. I know how to take adequate care of the creature." Gandalf finishes

Bilbo holds me away from Gandalf.

"No, no, no. I'm quite alright. It will be fine" Bilbo tells Gandalf hurriedly.

Bilbo gets a curious glance from Gandalf but Gandalf still said nothing but would continue to look at Bilbo while everyone relaxed and the last dwarf started eating dinner.

I exhale in my shell and it shakes, everyone looks at it apprehensively.
