Day 26

Sparring

Dummy knife whirled against practice sword, the dull thud of wood against wood a counterpoint to increasingly harsh breaths.

Suddenly the sword's extra reach, that had kept the knives at bay, proved its wielder's downfall. The knifeman, taking advantage of the barest of openings, stepped inside the swordsman's guard and had him kneeling, knife-edge pressed to his throat.

Legolas took away the knife. Aragorn, climbing to his feet, smiled ruefully.

Faramir, sitting to one side, already nursing bruised ribs from his defeat, laughed. "I warned you, sire. Lord Legolas is excellent for my skills, but no good for my pride."

Old age and experiece beats youth and enthusiasm every time. So odd to think of Aragorn as the 'youth' in this scenario. LOL

Glad you liked the drabble. And yes, Aragorn is a mere stripling compared to Legolas. *g*

Ooh; very nice! Man-and-Elf sparring! And Faramir is perfectly written here.

Thanks - this was a fun drabble to write, imagining how Legolas and Aragorn would shape up against each other!
