“What, are you saying my sword hasn’t seen battle?”

… Did Bilbo just ask Balin if he thinks he’s a virgin?

“I’m not sure it is a sword, really, more of a letter opener really.”

… And did Balin either not pick up on that or just tell Bilbo with a perfect poker face that he, *ahem*, doubts his endowment?

LOL!!!!!
