Just Short The Hobbit Edition
Jealous? Me? Never!
Nori is in no way, shape or form jealous of the Human archer who has his arm wrapped around a certain toy maker. Nope, not at all. Not even when Bard says something that makes Bofur laugh. His eyes don't narrow when Bard leans down to speak, his fists don't clench whenever Bofur laughs or smiles or touches the Human. This is not Nori being jealous, and why would he be jealous really? Dwalin chuckles at Nori who flips him off. Watching the thief get more agitated as Bard and Bofur get closer is amusing. He knew the two were just friends and he wasn’t about to tell Nori that. Watching the thief fight his attraction and anger is way too fun. Nori grunts angrily when Bard and Bofur lean in together.
"I once knew a fair maiden
Who worked in a tavern
She had hair of spun gold
And eyes like Sapphires!!
She kissed me and loved
Me the whole night through
But when morning came
She was nowhere to be
Found!!!"
The sweet low timber of Bofur mixes with Bard's voice. The band catches the tune and begins to play along. With a smile Bofur stands, bows and dances as he sings. Bard laughs clapping his hands, eyes following Bofur's dancing form. Nori feels a flash of red hot emotion when Bofur pulls Bard up to dance with him.
"Oh! I once knew a fair maiden
Who worked in a tavern
Her muscles hard
And her hands soft
She kissed me and loved
Me the whole night through
But when the morning came
She was nowhere to be
Found!!!"
They twirled around laughing merrily, faces red with laughter. People gather around them, clapping and stomping their feet. Nori watches as Bard reaches out and ruffles the hat on top of Bofur's head. Nori stands anger finally winning out. Stalking over to Bofur he joins in on the last chorus.
"So pour me another round
For she's nowhere to be found
She's a like a siren
In the mountain Deep!!!"
Bofur glances over at Nori and smiles even wider. His anger soothes out and he smirks over at Bard.
"Hey Bofur why don't you join us back over at the table?"
"Sure. Seeya Bard."
