Grabbing the exceedingly familiar handrail, she began descending down the stairs of what had been her home for months, in search of Strider. She got to the door to open it, leading to the sign of meeting, when she heard a shout from behind her.
"Arian! There you are, 40 minutes late! Where have you been?" came the angry yell of a coworker. " I had to do your chores for you this morning and I aint to happy bout it!"
"Sorry, but I must go, I will be back in about 10 minutes, please do not tell anyone I have been here, I will be back soon."
"You owe me Arian. Don't expect any promises, if you don't leave soon people will see you, if your going to go, go now."
"Thank you, I will be swift." She said as she opened the door and made her way to the sign of the Prancing Pony. She was standing under the sign, and she looked up at the memorable sign she had seen many times before. She relaxed and rested on the wall waiting for Strider.
She observed a cloaked figure making there was towards her, and noticed it was indeed the man who have fought with her. She waited for him to say something first, and soon her wish was granted.
" It seems you are well on your way to recovery." He said in a voice that she found almost a familiar as Bree. She knew this person, but couldn't remember where from.
"Indeed, I thank you for that. You needn't have helped me, but you did, for that I give you thanks."
Her response was met with a laugh.
"Lady Arian, you are indeed forgetful are you not?"
She raised an eyebrow and looked at the man.
" I'm afraid you have me a sight disadvantage, for you know my name, but I know not of yours."
"Well met!" the man said good-naturedly. "But I find it odd that you don't recall someone from your own childhood." The man said and unveiled his face, revealing someone Arian did indeed know, Aragorn.
Arian remembered Aragorn from many years ago, as it would have been impossible for her to not know her. His adopted father had been her adopted father's friend, and consequently, they had played together often.
Arian and Aragorn also shared another quality. The day Aragorn had been brought to Rivendell, Arian had appeared in the city, a mere toddler. The Lord of Rivendell had taken in Aragorn, and his friend Dontiania had taken in Arian.
" I see you are getting sneakier by the day Aragorn, I know not how you managed to disguise yourself to make even your voice unrecognizable."
" You have not seen me for many years Arian, I have learned a fair amount."
"As have I."
"You have obviously not learnt who to not challenge in a fight."
"I was merely trying to fallow your fathers advice and help the hobbits."
"That's what you were sent to Bree to do."
"I know, but I have been forgetful recently."
"I realized that." The ranger said with a laugh.
"Laugh if you will, but I had their best intentions at heart." "I'm sure you did, but that was a very foolish thing to do."
"Are you only here to belittle me, or do you have another purpose?"
"We shell leave back to Rivendell today, and you should come with us dear friend."
"Aragorn, I have work today, which I am already 40 minutes, no 1 hour late for now."
"I'm afraid you will have to quit your job here and return to Rivendell."
Arian sighed.
" I know. Hold on, I'll inform someone."
"Meet me here in five minutes Arian, we leave to go to Rivendell then.
With that Arian turned and walked back to the pub. Odd as it sounds, she was becoming attached to it, no matter how much she might complain. She found the same colleague that she had talked to earlier and took her to a corner.
"I am sorry, but I must resign."
"Why are you telling me this, you must talk to the person in charge today."
"I realize this, but I must resign soon, now in fact, and you're the only person here right now."
"Why must you resign?"
Arian ransacked her brain, looking for a legitimate excuse.
"Family catastrophe, Grandfathers ill."
"I am sorry, I did not know, I hope he is well."
"I'm sure he'll be fine, but please, let me be with my family."
She looked at her fellow worker with pleading eyes she learnt from a young Aragorn, trying to avoid trouble.
"Alright I will inform someone, now be off with you."
"Thank you, my uncle will be grateful for your kindness." Arian replied.
"Don't you mean your Grandfather?" her coworker said suspiciously.
Uh-oh. Arian's thoughts said. "Well you see I'm so weary and worried I have tripped over my own tongue." With that Arian quickly left out the door again.

Sorry I haven't updated lately, I'll try to do better.
I have resolved to fallow the flow my story is going, even if that means going down the posy paved path to Mary Sue ville, but I will most likely NOT have a romance
