Okay, well this sounded good in my head:
Aragorn and the hobbits are on the way to Rivendell.
Aragorn: "Quiet today. Very quiet. Isn't it, Frodo?"
"Yes, Strider."
"I don't know why it is so quiet. Do you know, Merry?"
"No, Strider."
"It's extremely quiet. Right, Sam?"
"Yes, Strider."
<silence>
"Did I mention I strapped Pippin to Bill's back and gagged him?"
<silence>
"Quiet today..."
