Doggy Drabble

Short Scene of Legolas and Aragorn ^_-
"What is that?"
"This, mellon nîn, is a dog."
"I know it's a dog, Aragorn, but did it have to be so… filthy?"
The ranger snorted loudly as he patted the black furred animal.
"They are meant to be filthy otherwise they wouldn't be called dog now, wouldn't they?"
There was a pause.
"I seemed to have missed your point."
"I found him with the Rangers." said the man patiently.
"Ah…" nodded the Elf, "That explains it."
Aragorn looked up at his friend with raised eyebrows.
"You are suggesting?"
"Nothing offensive mellon nîn, except that this dog here, indeed, as they say, a man's best friend, for here before my eyes, it is clearly proven. Tell me Aragorn, have you taken your daily bath?"
Aragorn shook his head.
Legolas nodded thoughtfully.
"Are you planning to take it later today?"
"Rangers don't take a bath." explained the man seriously.
Legolas pressed his lips closed and he slowly backed away from the man.
"Where are you going?" asked the human, rising up slowly from his kneeling position.
"Forgive me, Estel, but I don't think I can take in your filthy smell," called the Elf grinning from ear to ear as he turned his back from the ranger.
"Hey-! I thought we're best friends!" shouted Aragorn.
"Aye, that we are!" called the Elf who was half way far from him, "But clearly as it is- you are the dog's best friend at the moment!"
"Legolas!" complained the human gawking after his friend.
"Call me if it bit you!" jested Legolas, "Later Aragorn!"
And the Elf disappeared from the view, leaving the man gaping after him sulkily.
The dog below Aragorn gave a small whine and Aragorn shot him a look.
"What are you looking at?"
