Summary : Written for [livejournal.com profile] tolkien100 challenge Cliché Busting

Aragorn slipped into Umbar under the guise of a guard with a trader’s caravan.

He’d travelled with them for a month, earning Southron money and making himself invaluable to a wealthy merchant whose life he’d saved.

By day, he escorted the man to the markets, dressed in weather-beaten clothes.

By night, he dressed in finer attire and accompanied his employer to meet wealthy men and women in their salons, smiling and charming the potential clients.

Remaining unobserved did not always entail sitting in smoky taverns hooded and cloaked.

Sometimes it was easier to gather intelligence whilst hiding in plain sight.

Ooh I like this. Hiding in plain sight. People rarely see what's right under their noses.
