A loud scream emanated from the King’s private apartments. The guards drew their swords and raced to the rescue. Whatever could be wrong? Had an intruder assaulted their lord?

Aragorn stood in the centre of his chamber, clad only in breeches, boots, a half finished shirt, and a deep scowl.

“Do stand still, Estel!” chided the Queen, brandishing a pincushion.

“You might stick another pin in me!” growled Aragorn. To think that the Haradrim had bested him, not with the sword, but with indigo silk!

Seeing their lord's fierce look, the guards hastily left the room, suppressing their laughter.

I love the title; it's very appropriate! What did Aragorn expect, to wear an ill-fitting shirt? The poor guy would probably rather face a band of Orcs than Arwen in tailoring mode.

But Aragorn would look dreamy in indigo silk.

Thank you and for the great plot idea and all your help.I'd love to see Aragorn in the finished shirt! Have you seen mrowe's wonderfully amusing drabble reply in my comments.
