Summary
“Well, of course!” Master Baggins spoke his observations in such a factual manner. “Handsome beards on the line of Durin indeed. Surely, I’d only look all the more foolish sitting next to you.”
Thorin blinked and felt heat rush up beneath his cheeks. Prayed to Mahal that his humble beard might survive the sudden praise. For again, he had always wished that Master Baggins might find him attractive in spite of his less than suitable beard, but here was Master Baggins ever the Unexpected. And here he was dolling out such lovely compliments.
“Not his beard,” Dwalin let out with a mirthful scoff. “It’s not any better than Kíli’s.”
“Oh, nonsense!” Master Baggins furrowed his brow. “You mean to tell me that you dwarves consider it unattractive to groom one’s beard so short?”

Summary
"He just had to go and mess it all up. And mess up Bilbo did, if the looks the dwarves were giving him were anything to go by. Their expressions were those of complete and utter shock as they all stared at Bilbo. Thorin, especially, had turned concerningly red in the face as he stared down at the hobbit, who was cradling a pebble in his open palms as his anxiety grew.
“Um, so… you do not want this, I take it?” Bilbo asked in a small voice, barely able to keep it from cracking.
Thorin made a sound eerily similar to that of Lobelia Sackville-Baggins choking on a piece of asparagus. Then he promptly turned around and stomped off without a word.
The hobbit watched him go and tried his best to school his expression to not show any of the mortification he felt at that moment.
Well done, Bilbo, now you’ve really done it."
-Bilbo gifts Thorin a rock as a token of friendship, but gets more out of that than he could have expected.
