Well, first of all, I should hope I would remember my manners...When the dwarf bows and says '- at your service!', I would bow and reply 'Lostgaeriel at yours and your family's!' (Bilbo is such a good role-model for etiquette.)
Then I should offer refreshments: tea, coffee, beer, ale, red wine, seed-cake, buttered scones, raspberry jam and apple-tart, mince-pies and cheese, pork-pie and salad, eggs, cold chicken and pickles,...(Gee, I get so very hungry when I read The Hobbit and tLotR.)
Finally, I would try to get myself invited to go on a treasure hunt/burglary/adventure with this dwarf. (Bound to get a nice piece of jewellery out of that.)
