Obviously he was loosing his touch. What had started out as an earnest offer of forgiveness and friendship had now turned sour on him.
"If you can't trust me enough to believe that, what future can there be for our friendship?"
What future indeed, if the elf couldn't leave him enough time to recuperate before delivering such an ultimatum.
Fighting down the anger that had destroyed him before, Aragorn lay as if in sleep.
Hopefully Legolas would leave.
After a while though the elf still remained and Aragorn broke off the show of fained sleep.
"I admit I made a mistake," the words emerged through clenched teeth. "Are we not all human?" He smiled at his own weak joke before continuing. "I was wrong and I do not expect you to forgive me, when I have not totally forgiven myself. However," the innate anger threatened to overwhelm him but stubbornly he pushed it back down and repeated, "however, I would first ask you what kind of friend you believe yourself to be. You throw me your pity which I do not want and brush my forgiveness away. Like you I wish to repair the breach between us, but I wonder whether during the space of two days we have changed too much. I am sorry for it for I loved you once.
Can we still be friends? We can only wait and see."
Rolling onto his side so his friend wouldn't see the tears that once again corsed down his cheeks Aragorn murmered, "Now, if you don't mind I am exausted. Goodnight master elf."
The door creaked open then closed.

And he was alone.
