“You will catch a chill, and then what will be said of the hospitality of this house, Master Hobbit?”

A warm blanket settled around Bilbo’s shoulders.

“Have I sent him to his doom, Lindir?”

“I know not,” the elf said.

The nine travellers had long since passed from their sight, but Bilbo was reluctant to turn away. “No words of false comfort, my friend?”

“I would not insult you with such,” Lindir said softly. “Come, Bilbo, there are songs to be written. Time will pass more quickly that way.”

Bilbo sighed and turned away.

Lindir was right. He needed music.

This is very nice and touching, especially since "no words of false comfort" are offered, but very really comfort and kindness is forthcoming instead.
