Summary: Arwen is annoyed with Aragorn.

Deep in thought, Aragorn pondered a knotty problem concerning affairs of state. His fidgety fingers felt in his pocket and grasped at his pipe. He took it out and looked at it longingly.

“Estel!” Arwen cried accusingly, appearing from around a corner. “I thought you had quit that nasty habit.”

“I have,” said Aragorn. “It was just a momentary lapse. He flushed like a child caught planning some mischief.

“Why so coy?” Arwen demanded crossly. “I know you want to light it. I will ensure you are not tempted again.” She seized the pipe and cast it into the fire.

Arwen the dragon lady! hehehe
I can't tell you how many times I wanted to do that to my parents - all smokers.

Then again, Arwen my dear, you could just let him suck on the empty pipe; it wouldn't hurt anything especially if it is sans tobacco. :)

I felt like that about my father for many years and I think my Mum did too. Maybe Arwen feared he'd still be tempted if he still had the pipe!
