It would be another long night on the move.

So true. What a long, difficult journey for him.

[lirin_lirilla]

Definitely. I can't even imagine journeying that far on one's own, much less being in constant danger from enemies at the same time.

What a difficult night Aragorn's having!

Gandalf should teach him some Orcish, I think, if the twins won't.

[lirin_lirilla]

It's certainly not one of his favorite nights. And yeah, I think now that he realizes that it would be useful to know a bit of Orkish, he'll be sure to find somebody whom he can convince to teach it to him.

This is very cool - Tolkien would approve of the interest in language, I'm sure!

[lirin_lirilla]

Thank you, and I do hope he would approve! :-)
