“Why does Éomer call you Wingfoot?” Faramir asked Aragorn soon after a visit from his wife's brother.

“Because of the speed at which Legolas, Gimli and I ran in pursuit of Merry and Pippin when they were captured,” Aragorn explained.

“I wish I could have seen you then,” said Faramir.

“You can, I will race you to yonder oak.”

“But it was years ago when you raced across Rohan!”

“You think I am too old?”

“No, but...”

“Come then!”

The two men sprinted towards the oak, the older man easily outpacing the younger by a length. Wingfoot still had wings.
