Scent of a King
Aragorn descended the rise to find Legolas and Gimli speaking in hushed
tones beside the river. "What of the Uruk-hai?"
"They've halted." Legolas handed a small package over to Aragorn.
"What's this?"
"Soap. You need a bath."
"I'm sorry?"
"Between Gimli's complaining and your stench, we'll never surprise the
Urukhai."
"I didn't think we were planning an ambush."
"Fine. Please have a bath so that I don't have to hold my breath."
"There's no time. We must close their lead."
"We thought you might argue."
Gimli shoved Aragorn head first into the river. "Elf, you need to be more
direct."
