Thorin will soon present Bilbo with beads he's made for him. One that is of his own, another that he's had made especially for the halfling, both symbolize just how important he is to the king. Everyone will know now, especially with Thorin also braiding his hair. Bilbo is not just any hobbit who is a friend of their king. He his is one.

Plans for a wedding are soon set in motion and while most try to show good face about it all, it's clear enough most are not pleased by this. Thorin cannot wed this hobbit, it's... it's insane really. He should find a queen, that is what kings do is it not? More importantly a dwarven queen. There are some who've made it clear they're not at all impressed by this turn of events, Balin and Dwalin have already come to Thorin, and while they like Bilbo all the same it isn't proper to continue this way. Balin tries to be kind about it, Dwalin is not so much. Even Fili, who loves his uncle very much and had grown very attached to the hobbit during their journey, tries to ask Thorin if he's so sure that this is the right thing to do.

It is after much of this that Thorin has drink in hand and angrily simmers in his chambers, Bilbo is welcome to join him or not, and he will most likely notice the king's displeasure if he ventures in.
