Title: Comfort in the Night
Pairing: None
Rating: G
Summary: Predictably, Frodo and Aragorn friendship! :D
"You should sleep." Strider sat on a boulder, gazing east. "We've a long march tomorrow. I do not mind keeping watch."
"You are worried," Frodo said, settling beside him. The quiet snores of his hobbit companions sounded behind him near the fire. "And I am far from sleep. I hope you do not mind the company."
Strider managed a smile. "I would welcome your company." He was quiet for a long moment, during which time he took several puffs on his pipe. Frodo breathed in the familiar scent of Shire pipe-weed. "But you are right, Frodo. Nothing should have stopped Gandalf from arriving in Bree while the Black Riders are abroad. I fear. . ." His jaw clenched.
"If anyone could get himself out of trouble, Gandalf could," Frodo said.
"Your words are comforting," Strider said, "But even Gandalf is no match against the Enemy unfurled."
"I believe that he is," Frodo said. "And I believe we will see him in Rivendell, if not before."
Aragorn squeezed Frodo's shoulder. "Then I shall gather courage from you."
