Title: In the Stillness of the Night
Characters: Faramir, Aragorn
Rating: PG
Warnings: None whatever.
I feel like the title is also from a poem (ummm... REO Speedwagon song? I just googled it, but I don't even recall that song at all...), but I don't know - it just kind of came out of my head.
Aragorn had been enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the deep night, until his Steward had come stumbling through the outdoor garden in a mad rush to reach the balcony. He walked up to Faramir, a joke about the stealth of Southern Rangers on his lips, until he saw the fey look in his Steward’s eyes. They exchanged pleasantries, then stood quietly, waiting.
“Have you seen it?” Faramir asked suddenly, turning his wild eyes to meet Aragorn’s.
“What?”
“The wave.”
Silence. Then, “No.”
Faramir looked out to the Pelennor, eyes scouring the horizon for imminent doom. “Then count yourself blessed.”
