Worried thoughts
Part3
A few days later. Aragorn was strong enough to sit up by himself, although he still slept most of the day. Right now, he leaned against a pillow and watched a bird in the tree outside his window. The sun found its way in the room and spread its warm light over his face.
Arwen entered the room on silent feet and sat down beside him. The kiss they shared was tender and sweet. For a moment he rested his head on her shoulder, before he leaned back among the pillows.
"This arrived this morning for you, beloved!"
She handed him a letter and after stroking her hand over his cheeks, she left him alone to read.
Carefully not to rip it, he opened the envelope. The handwriting was beautiful, in small, fine letters.
My dear friend, King of Gondor!
Legolas had sent word about your illness and with great concern I regret not to have enough time to come and see for you by myself. Even I've learned to know the skills of Elrond by myself, my worried thoughts are with you. I hope you are well, my prayers belong to you.
I've been asking Legolas to watch out for you and take care, that you are well rested. So it is I to blame, if he will be a little of an annoyance in the next few days. I hope I will be forgiven for my good intentions.
I hope to hear about your well being.
My love and greetings to the Lady Arwen.
Sincerely
Your friend Frodo
Aragorn put the letter down. A warm smile formed on his face. How grateful could a man
be for such a wonderful friend? No more than he was this moment. Still smiling he leaned back into his pillows.
One last time he thought about Frodo before he fell asleep again. Grateful.
