As the company was preparing to leave Laketown Bilbo began to hum.

"Do-do do-do-do-do-do do hm-hm hm-hm-hm-hm-hm hm". As Bilbo hummed the tune he had stuck in his head he packed up what provisions and things the Men had given to him and the Company. There were Men in and out of the house bringing by things they thought the company could use. One man was a bit different than the rest, Bilbo couldn't quite put his finger on why but the Man was rather peculiar. As the man passed by he turned to Bilbo and innocently asked. "Don't forget your towel now."

"Oh no I wouldn't go anywhere without my wonderous towel." Bilbo sassed.

"Best advice ever given, besides always having your towel with you, is Don't Panic." The peculiar man commented. "Say you remind me of somebody." The mans face furrowed in concentration. "Nah he's off with Ford and Trill. Have a good day." The man said before making his way from the house. Bilbo just shook his head and returned to humming. After some time had passed and those that were traveling with Thorin and the others climbed into the boats the Master had provided Bilbo chuckled and turned to bar before boarding the boat himself. In the tune he had been humming Bilbo softly sang to Bard, "So long and thanks for all the fish…"

Bard laughed and the boats pulled away. Bilbo held a towel over his shoulders and turned to face the mountain he had come to burgle.
