The company reached the edge of the forest of Imladris. As Gandalf did not wish to rest at the foot of the Misty Mountains, where he knew was a good hideout for creatures of darkness, he decided to stop for camp early within the woods.
"Legolas and Aragorn, please go gather so firewood. Boromir, please go to the stream and get some water," said the wizard.
The Elven Prince raised an elegant eyebrow at the old Istari but said nothing as he rose. Aragorn, who was equally opposed to the idea of being alone with the Elf, was not giving in without a fight. "I do not think it wise to have three of our warriors leave camp at the same time, Gandalf."
