What a perfect use of the prompt words! And yes, I can see that's exactly how Aragorn would have reacted to having to ride in a carriage!

Thank you. I'm so sorry this late. I struggled to begin with with the prompt and then got the dates mixed up. I'm pleased you felt it turned out well.

Don't worry about "late". While we like for stories to turn up on time, we are perfectly fine with late entries, and in fact, are expecting a couple more.

And I really do like what you did with your words-- they work quite well here.

Thank you, one reason I like taking part here is that you are understanding if things don't quite work out.

Thank you, I'm pleased that you liked my drabble. I wouldn't fancy riding in a coach either!

I can totally see Aragorn feeling like that. And yet that's what comes of being King.
