How much did you say the food cost?" inquired the Elf with a soft, melodic voice. The voice was definitely the most beautiful Aragorn had ever heard. It was lilting, gentle and cultured, reflecting a keen intellect and a sweet personality. It made his spoken words sound like a song; the Man wondered what heavenly sound it would be for the voice to truly sing.
"It's two pieces of gold, but these two ate most of it already...."answered the salesman.
"Two pieces of gold!! I could get a five course meal at the best tavern in Bree for that price!!" exclaimed Halbarad.
"Here you are, if you would be kind enough to give me the leftovers," said the golden Elf as he withdrew from a pouch on his waist the said sum. He handed it to the salesman and bestowed on him a smile so gorgeous that could bewitch even the Nazguls into renouncing their allegiance to Sauron.
