Yet another quote that wasn't

[HerenIstarion]

Frodo, than, at the Bucklebury Ferry:

What in the Shire is that?’ exclaimed Merry.
‘Something that is following us,’ said Frodo. ‘But don’t ask any more now! Let’s get away at once! I am not sure that I know myself what it is. But I would rather be in more comfortable surroundings before I think further on it.

[The Saucepan Man]

Oh, he's good. Yes, he's very good. By golly, he's got it!

Well done, H-I. You're up.

[HerenIstarion]

* H-I flushes

thanks

next one up:

they will be hard put to it, harder maybe than we are, for the strength he sent there is no less than one awaiting us

[Evisse the Blue]

Is it maybe Aragorn speaking, in a moment of clairvoiyance:

"..when I mastered the Stone I learned many things. A grave peril I saw I coming unlooked for upon Gondor from the South that will draw off great strength from the defences of Minas Tirith. If it is not countered swiftly, I deem that the City will be lost ere ten days be gone. they will be hard put to it, harder maybe than we are, for the strength he sent there is no less than one awaiting us ." Referring to the Paths of the Dead.

[HerenIstarion]

Hola Evisse, long time no see good to have you back

Your guess is relevant indeed (though not correct), so I'm forced to provide you with the hint as to neither of the speakers is human. Besides, the time and place of the conversation is also very nearly guessed

Try your luck

[Evisse the Blue]

Then I'll try my luck and say it's Legolas to Gimli talking about their kinsfolk arriving to war:

I don't think that any would come. They have no need to ride to war, war already marches on their own lands. they will be hard put to it, harder maybe than we are, for the strength he sent there is no less than one awaiting us

[HerenIstarion]

indeedy You serve!
