Araboro microficlet

Still alive and still around ;)
Busy with lots of things, good ones like trips to Ireland this summer and Police concert ten days ago, and boring ones like lots of work.
And most of all still having VigBean and scions thereof as the only pairing ;)

This is an impromptu microficlet inspired by the way my neighbours' cat purrs. Could have been a drabble but I've become too lazy to trim down



“You need to keep quiet, or they will hear us..” Aragorn warns, hand pressing down on the other man’s mouth to silence him.

The hand turns the cry into a stifled sound rumbling deep in the man’s chest.

It reminds Aragorn of a cat he had in what now feels like a lifetime ago, a cat that, when stroked in the right way, would make a sound so hoarse and male it felt diminishing to call it a purr.

It reminds Aragorn of something Gandalf said back in Rivendell.

”You’re not to worry, Boromir is like a big tomcat, aggressive and hissing. But rub him the right way and you’ll get him to purr...”

He has certainly found the way to make the tomcat purr, Aragorn thinks, grinning in the dark as he wipes his sticky hand on the heavy cloth of the Gondorian’s cloak.

Ooh, this is lovely! For may years I had a wonderful cat that purred in just that way, so it really makes me smile to read this. I love Gandalf's insight into Boromir; of course he was talking about how to handle the prickly Boromir in a political sense, not a sensual one. Or maybe not!

It's amazing the kind of sound they make, isn't it?! so deep and saying "I am purring but I still am boss" ;)

And I devoutly hope that Gandalf's words were not based on any kind of sensual experience with Boromir *g*
