Heh.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

No, I’m rolling my eyes at the two of you.

Didn't Beorn refer to Bilbo as a rabbit?

No, Beorn referred to Bilbo as a "bunny" ("Little bunny is getting nice and fat again on bread and honey," he chuckled. "Come and have some more!") but both Bert the Troll and the Eagle king referred to Bilbo as a rabbit, and Thorin shook him "like a rabbit" when he discovered that Bilbo had stolen the Arkenstone.
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

Yeah, I got that. I was just trying to piece together Jude's cryptic clues and thought a non-canonical rabbit might be a bunny.
