At the meeting of the White Council.

"And my-" began Gimly but he was cut off as Peragrin's head popped around the corner.
"Why would he need those?" for the first time in a melenia all the dwarves and elves in the same room completely agreed on something… this kid was an idiot, or at least that was their opinion for a few seconds before the young Took turned to Gandalf, "You're friends with the eagles right?"
"Yes," Gandalf answers wondering where Peragrin was going with this.
"Well why not ask one of them to fly him straight to this Mount Doom place, Frodo hops off, destroys the ring, hops back on and then they fly back?"
For a few moments no one could speak, struck dumb as they were by the simplistic genius of such a plan, then, "I've been alive too long," spoke Gandalf, everyone looks at him questioningly, "I forgot the first law of the Mithlantil, 'Thou shalt keep it simple stupid.'"
