Drabble: In the Shadows

Title: In the Shadows
Author: Kris
Characters: Aragorn, Boromir
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Not mine, no money made off this.
Author's notes: This started as a bridge for a slightly longer piece (which I may post later), but worked itself into a nice stand-alone drabble.



Aragorn knew of the tavern and Boromir's remembrance. He'd be a poor king if he didn't--and an even poorer Lord to his fallen captain.

The first year, he'd been newly crowned, and his kingdom still chaotic.

The second year, Arwen was with her father, so he grieved alone. He drank first to remember and then to forget--and that was not something he wished to share.

This year, though--he owes it to his men, to himself, but especially to Boromir. So he is here, in the shadows, waiting for the right moment. And he is no longer afraid.

Thank you--glad you liked it! And I'm glad it linked to the Prancing Pony... that was my intention, but I'm never sure whether intention translates into words.

And of course there's never too much remembering... there's a lot of Boromir to remember. *sniggers*
