Drabble #18
chlare wanted Simon thrown into Lord of the Rings with whoe^er. Word was 'punch drunk'. It's Simon/Aragorn(Elessar)
---
Sometimes Simon thinks he studied to be a healer just to keep his sister out of danger the best he could. Because Simon wasn't much of a fighter or a rider or even a tracker like the rangers. And River was all of those things and stubborn enough not to be left out just because she was a woman which saw her coming home more often than not with some great tale to tell and some injury to go along with it.
Simon has no great tales to speak of. E^en the war had seen him remaining in the Houses of Healing while his sister had picked up a blade and gone into battle (and he's never been more relieved in his life to see her walk through the doors unharmed and throwing her arms around him in their triumph). So he has no idea why when the new King Elessar decides to teach someone his ancient ways of healing, he picks Simon.
A moment of shock and Simon bows lowly in gratitude for the honour and hours are spent in the weeks following, being as gracious and curteous as he can while Elessar teaches Simon things he had heard about only in passing songs mostly forgotten. Simon is certain it's going well until he catches the King sighing, perhaps in boredom or frustration and Simon wonders what he did wrong.
“My Lord?” Simon questions, expecting to be berated for some slight. He doesn't expect the king to claim that Simon needs to get out and find some enjoyment (has he been talking to River who always tells him the same?) and Elessar as well, before the smell of the herbs goes to their heads.
Elessar takes them to a rough scale tavern, Simon following bemused. Simon has much less of a head for ale than he has for herbs.
Though Simon supposes that when he wakes the following morning in the King's chambers with the King still at his side and the Queen smiling down on him and offering medicine to sooth his headache, he finally has a great tale to tell. But he thinks he might be keeping this one to himself after all.
