Yeah, definitely, I can imagine (hear) him thinking this. Very nicely done! Smile smiley face

Thank you.

Well, I learned something I didn't know about horses, but more importantly, something about LoTR that I never thought of. In your comments you mention that Aragorn's saving of the world will rob the elves of their place in Middle Earth. Really struck a chord. Your drabble is very thoughtful and beautifully written, as well.

Hi NeumeIndil,

Really enjoyed this drabble! You say much about Strider's both shrewdness and dignity with "This is not such a one.".

And I think his observation that suspicion is not natural to the Rohirrim is spot-on with what Tolkien wrote about them.

And the analogy with the canker on the hoof is particularly apt.

You really show how so much can be said in so few well-chosen words.... Nicely done!

Nicely done. Seems to me that TT is just chock full of moments ripe for this challenge, and you picked a good'un. I liked your Aragorn's perspective on Rohan, it's something I'd forgotten - that he had history there. A very full piece without being chunky or awkward but flowing nicely.
