Summary : Written for tolkien100 challenge Open Arms

“Denethor is unlikely to welcome me with open arms, old friend,” Aragorn said softly in the dark, far enough away from their sleeping companions for his words to go unheard.

“He is a proud man, but he is a man of honour. Your claim is indisputable.” Gandalf conjured a small flame to light his pipe.

“I am not sure his elder son believes that.”

“Boromir is as proud as his father. And as stubborn.”

“He is young.”

“Stubbornness is not the preserve of the young.”

“As we well know. Without it, none of us would have embarked on this quest.”

I like this quiet, night-time conversation. The last line was particularly good.

Thank you! I always find last lines hard, so great to know when they work.
