I always think he would have done as a youth in Imladris. I thought that I remembered writing about it and here it is in a series of drabbles based on the Seven Deadly Sins!
And also in a much longer story when I said
“Oh yes,” Elladan answered Éomer King, “he was always treated as one of our family and so his hair remained uncut, and was braided from his face just as ours is, as soon as it was long enough. But warriors’ braids,” he touched his own, “are not worn unless earned, and so no child has them. Aragorn had to be good enough to ride with the warriors to earn them, and was very proud of them until the day he left to join his Dúnedain kin – when he cut his hair to the length of a man of the north.”
Inside Tindómë’s head she heard Elrohir: “And our father keeps those warrior braids wrapped in silk. I expect that they will be in his luggage when he sails West.”
THANK you dear Wombat... these drabbles are wonderful... and he DID have his hair plaited... and how proud he was. He should have kept his hair long, as Aragorn was always a warrior - although we'd have been deprived of darling Aragorn dripping muddy water all over the place and making us DIE to give him a nice hot bath!
I DO LOVE these... soppy ole thing I am - specially the last one!!!
And I am happy to say I've found a new 'theme' for my journal and it has FIFTY posts to a page!!! FIFTY!!!! teehee. does save me losing so many going back ten at a time.
Bless you, and thanks.
I DO like drabbles, they paint such intense mind-pictures.
