Aragorn pulled on Brego's reins and the horse slowed to a stop and his helper did the same, watching as the man got off his horse.
" Are you well, Estel?"
" I am alright, Mora. I just need a break. Could you watch Brego for me? I need to be alone for awhile."
" Sure, Estel."
Mora took Brego's reins from the man as he watched Aragorn go a few yards and then climb a tree disappearing from sight behind a large canopy of leaves. Mora sighed in concerned even though Aragorn told him he was well he knew better than to believe his friend was truely alright.
" Brego, I worry for him."
The horse nodded his head as if to say that he was worried too,Mora rubbed his mane, then went to their packs after sorting through them he pulled out two apples going over to the horses he fed them.
Aragorn leaned back against the tree trunk shutting his eyes and memories that he had tried to hold back came to the forefront again. The man opened his eyes and sighed helplessly even the good memories of Legolas brought pain tearing through his soul. Aragorn tried to force himself to be brave as he remembered the happier times with his friend, but it did no good and he fought an onslaught of sobs that tried to tear though him.
Brego nickered sadly as Aragorn climbed down the tree and sank beside it. Mora hurried over to him noticeing that his friend was shaking badly he touched his shoulder.
" Estel?"
" It hurts!"
Mora gathered the man into his arms and the sobs Aragorn had tried to hold back bursted forth in a loud pitched wail. The elf comforted his friend the best he could knowing that it was Legolas the man was crying about, Brego walked up to them nickering sadly. The horse touched the man's hair with his nose giving what comfort he could. Aragorn couldn't stop weeping for along time and he was greatful he hadn't made the journey alone he knew he wouldn't of been able to take it at all.
