"… we'll find someone else's bone to pick with." ~ His lips twitched somewhat, and he suddenly realised how tired he himself was ~ "As far as this battle is going…" ~ In the distance, he heard hoarse shouts of tired victory ~ "… I think we've won." ~ Absently reaching to hold Ursula's arm ~ "… but as far as the long-term war is concerned…" ~ He sighed and paused for a moment before continuing ~ "… we need a better plan."
"What is it that you really want, Cyrus?" ~ Ursula's husky voice drifted from below, distracting both men ~ "You mentioned of injustice, oppression and evil." ~ Refusing further aid, she props herself up on both hands ~ "That is what brought Aragorn to your cause." ~ Her eyes narrowed briefly ~ "If it's glory that you want… or worse still, loot…" ~ She closed her eyes tightly, her body rigid with tension ~ "… then I would say Aragorn has been the fool."
