Aragorn looked up as the door opened. In came his friends. About to say, "I thought you'd left" he caught sight of the almost un-concious youth who was stumblingly behind the elven prince who's hold on his hair made it understandably difficult for the valet to walk. The elf released him and Vomyr stood, trembling infront of his king.
Aragorn sighed, while he did not want to complete his paperwork it was preferable to dealing with treason.
The room was silent as the charge was explained. An immense saddness consumed Aragorn. While something like eavesdropping might appear trivial Aragorn dreaded to think what would've happened if he had been discussing something important.
It would've been spread around the castle within days. The anger built in him and he turned to deliver a blistering reprimand to his disgraced man-servant.
The man flinched and his anger faded away. Vomyr seemed truly repentant and although the axe still firmly clutched in Gimli's hand might've contributed a little to this, Aragorn felt for the man.
He obviously had not realized the gravity of the situation. Patiently he explained to the terrified man the cosequences of his actions.
This time there would be no punishment, but, Aragorn continued, it was however his last chance.
Bowing obsequiously Vomyr hurried out of the room. Aragorn hoped he had learned from the experience instead of harbouring a resentment against the elf and the dwarf.
