Wanderings

by takingoffmyshoes

There are many roads. Some are gentle, some are merciless; some are fruitful, some are barren. But curse it all, why must so many of them be wet? A series of drabbles and other short pieces on the topic of wandering, wherever one's feet may take one. (Featuring our favorite Dunedain duo, but with appearances by other characters.)

4. Little Things

"It's all about the little things, you know. The smallest detail may determine a man's happiness. The smallest splinter can foul his mood, should he let it, and a single raindrop can ruin his day."

"Odd that we were plagued by both today."

"Hush."

"'Tis the truth."

"And has my mood suffered for it? Here is what I am getting at: the smallest detail may determine a man's happiness, but it does not have to. We are every day surrounded by small details - we must only choose which are of import."

"And which are those, Halbarad?"

"Today? Your company."
