| Jun 1, 2015 at 20:42 | comment | added | Wad Cheber | @Jason - he wasn't trying to be sinister, and I was mostly joking, but he does say the King will use the stone to watch what his servants are doing, then reminds Pippin that he is one of those servants. Hence, he is implicitly saying "I might watch you" | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 20:07 | comment | added | Jason | He's not threatening anything. He's merely taking the opportunity to remind Pippin of his fealty, in context he's accomplishing several things at once: (1) He's establishing his intention to fully embody the administrative duties of his throne, an open question for most considering his wandering history and (2) he's establishing that he values Pippin's service to his kingdom - it's a compliment. | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 15:03 | comment | added | Wad Cheber | @MattGutting I hope and pray that you are right. But he is certainly threatening to spy on Pippin. | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 15:02 | comment | added | Matt Gutting | Of course Aragorn doesn't need two stones; but he doesn't take them because he needs them or even because he necessarily plans to use them; he takes them because they're the property of his Kingdom and of his people. (Further, it's not necessarily the case that he's going to spy on Pippin; he may or may not be totally serious in that remark.) | |

| Jun 1, 2015 at 14:58 | comment | added | Wad Cheber | Aaaaaaaaand I just realized that Aragorn is going to spy on Pippin without his knowledge. Creepy. | |
| Jun 1, 2015 at 14:49 | comment | added | Wad Cheber | But this map makes it look like Isengard is not part of the Reunited Kingdom. The Ring of Isengard was obviously ceded to the Ents, but the surrounding land was part of Rohan, wasn't it? And why would Aragorn need two stones? He has enough willpower to use the Stone of Minas Tirith without seeing Denethor BBQ, right? Still, your expanded quote is hard to argue against. (+1, by the way) | |
