An Adventure of Hobbit Proportions Discussion Thread

[Thinlómien]

I wrote a post but I was faced by two difficult questions.
1) How mature is a 20-year-old Hobbit? I left it pretty vague but I'm interested if I've totally misestimated the thing. (Of course Tansy can have her subjective opinions but I think I, as her writer, should know which way they seem to be biased... )
2) Can a male Hobbit be referred to as "a man"? It didn't sound right, but what other word could I use?

Now you, Valier or Gwathagor can procedd, or if you think I left it to a stupid place I can write a few more lines, whatever you prefer, just let me know.

I think I'll say this once so I need not repeat it after every single post (which seems to be my bad habit in RPG discussion threads). You all can (and you have to) complain to me if I make your characters act uncharacteristically or write something about them that does not match at all. (Like if I make Tansy describe someone as a cheerful person but he actually smiles about once a year and never laughs or something like that.)
