Legolas, you are the most beautiful person I have ever laid eyes on. I am attracted to you, which as you probably know is a very serious understatement. But I know that the attraction was entirely because you remind me of Shadow, my mentor whom I love with my entire heart. You deserve so much better than that. The reason I am telling you this is because sometimes, I want you so much that I scare myself. I need you to be on your guard when you are alone around me. I would die before I hurt you but I am afraid that I might not be able to control myself, especially if the Ring were to exploit my desires," said an embarrassed and flustered Aragorn, all in one breath. It was the first time in many years for the Man to appear so un-composed in front of another.
