Mundane,

I know you are excited about the final film of Middle Earth coming out very soon but I do not think that you should be so hasty in looking for a more permanent home for me. These games do not appear to suit me at all and I would endeavor to remind you how well "modernizing" me went the last time you did it.

I still have nightmares of playing that instrument you called a guitar. And then there was that time gave my memories to the Flying Man. So be wary mun and consider leaving me as I am gameless and happy.

I pray, my lord, that they heed your counsel.

[lastkingofman]

As do I Faramir but muns can be stubborn souls indeed and mine is no different.

[overshadowedingly]

[He smiles, rather ruefully] I know it too well. Stubborn souls with a delight in torment.

[lastkingofman]

Torment is the nice way of putting my friend.

[overshadowedingly]

[A shadow seems to fall over his expression]

Perhaps.

[lastkingofman]

[Aragorn looks worried.]

Has your mum been treating you well?

[overshadowedingly]

I...

[no. no I have not]

...It is of little concern.

[lastkingofman]

You are my friend and my mun is deeply fond of you as well. If I can help let me help.

[overshadowedingly]

I fear, my lord, that you cannot.

[...okay seriously though]

[He sighs, sagging a little]

They have brought Boromir back to me.

[lastkingofman]

[Aragorn gives a long pause of thought at this.]

Does this not please you?

[overshadowedingly]

Yes. More than I can say.

And it fills me with a dread deeper than I can speak, for I have been in that place long enough to know the horrors it works.

[lastkingofman]

You are afraid of losing him again?

[overshadowedingly]

I am afraid of him losing himself, my lord.

[He doesn't want to say it, but this is his king, and his friend as well] At times, I fear I have lost myself in this game they play with our lives. Boromir has suffered enough. The only gladness of his death should have been that he escaped suffering, and yet even that is now taken from him.

[lastkingofman]

[Aragorn considers all this, it is an important thing to think about after all.]

I believe that worrying about the future will do us no good Faramir. We will focus so much on what could be we will miss what is.
