A closer look at some of the hobbits (+1 bunny, +1 dwarf) from my guide

We have:

Bunny :3

Nora (from Tales of the Shire)

Rorimac (Merry's grandfather/Frodo's Uncle)

Lobelia (Bilbo's cousin)

Maiev and Gilly (ocs)

Drogo: Well...

Primula: Don't get me wrong, I do love to see her, but it feels so strange that she never comes to visit us.

Drogo: ... My sister. Dora. The Prim and Proper Dora Baggins. In Buckland.

Primula: Yes?

Drogo: Primula, I'm sure she cares very deeply for you, and it is absolutely nothing about her not wanting to see us, but... she still thinks that any strangeness on Bilbo's part is because of the Took-blood and that most of yours and Bilbo's Took-relatives could do with a few lessons about manners. Can you imagine her in Buckland? Among Brandybucks?

Primula: ... I'll admit you're right, but only because I just remembered how she stared at Rory when he told her he goes into the Old Forest on a regular basis.

Drogo: You realise I give him the same look, right?

Bilbo: We... just arrived? Do you not let guests get settled first?

Frodo: Uncle Rory, we just need to put our bags away, and-

Rorimac: Oh, no, no, don't worry about the bags, they'll be taken care of, now come walk with me, and fast.

Bilbo: What's happened?

Frodo: Is something wrong?

Rorimac: Something is AWFULLY wrong, and we're all going to catch the brunt of it if we stay here.

Bilbo: It's only noon! What's happened?

Rorimac: Well, the post came through a little later than usual today.

Frodo: Post? What?

Rorimac: There was a letter for Gilda.

Bilbo: Oh... Oh no, don't say-

Frodo: What? What does that have to do with us?

Rorimac: It was from Dora, and Gilda is a bit-

Menegilda: "OPPORTUNISTIC HARRIGAN"?! I AM GOING TO-

Frodo: a walk sounds lovely let's go right now

Bilbo: You have us hiding in a boatshed...

Saradoc: Hello.

Rorimac: GAH!

Frodo: WOAH!

Bilbo: saradoc you are going to be the death of me if you don't start making noise i am going to put a damn BELL on you

Saradoc: Look, it isn't my fault that none of you know how to check if a place is empty before you barge in!

Rorimac: Why are you here, lad?

Saradoc: Well, neither mother nor Esmeralda are particularly pleased with me at the moment. So I'm hiding.

Frodo: ... Where's Merry?

Saradoc: If I'm not mistaken, Merry should be hiding with Merimac.

Bilbo: ... And where is Merimac?

Saradoc: Currently? In the next shed.

Frodo: And why is Merimac hiding?

Saradoc: Well, he covered for me when I went to talk to Paladin about how you were doing in Buckland. Mother's wrath extends to him as well.

Rorimac: of course it does...

Rorimac: "In the doghouse", indeed... I don't understand why they won't just let it go!

Bilbo: I don't understand it either, Rory...

Rorimac: Both Menegilda and Esmeralda know that Frodo wasn't well. They know that he wasn't happy here, no matter how he was surrounded by relatives who loved and cared for him. And they KNOW that he's much happier with you in Hobbiton.

Bilbo: I know.

Rorimac: I don't understand what the problem is!

Bilbo: You mean aside from the fact that you and your son both went over the heads of your wives and ensured that I would find out?

Rorimac: I did what I had to do!

Bilbo: I know. Just... A bit of thinking does reveal that this would be a likely cause.

Rorimac: Look, if Saradoc and I hadn't conspired and talked to Paladin and Dora, Frodo would still have been here - and he would've been miserable.
