Summary : Written for the Tolkien 100 challenge Aches and Pains

“I’ve known kinder slave-drivers in Sharkey’s pits,” Uglúk said, glaring at his companion.

All he got in return was a lopsided grin. “Quit moanin’. Fixed you up good, didn’t I?”

Uglúk was tempted to describe his sore feet from tramping across an inhospitable land, the pain in his side where the stitches still pulled at his flesh and the hollow ache in his guts from inadequate food, but something made him hold back.

Mauhúr had saved his life and dragged him through some dark times, so all he did was grin back.

“Yeah, you did. Plenty that wouldn’t have bothered.”

Thank you! It's part of an occasional series following these two as they try to put as much distance between themselves and Fangorn Forest as possible.
