She ignored Faramir's warning and whipped the scmitar out of its hiding place. The jagged edges shone with the light creeping in through the gaps in the pavilion. Steadily, she settled into a stance, stronger right foot forward, weaker left foot behind. Her knees were bent and weight equally distributed. She felt ready. "You forget my country is a poor, warring one. Women do not have luxury to be excluded from war and pampered as your maidens are."
Even so, he was a man, therefore stronger and much heavier than she was. As speedy as Rácine was, she might not be able to block the more heavier strikes. Remembering herself, and where she was, to the despair of her pride and vanity, she sheathed her weapon again and glared at the Steward and King. Her hand, however, did not leave the grip. Her generals stood still with both their weapons still sheathed. They did nothing unless ordered and since the likeliness of the Gondorian's killing a Queen seemed slim, they didn't feel compelled to draw swords.
"Morduath, prepare my party," Rácine growled. "Order for more water to be taken from the river before we set off. Food, as far as I can remember, was enough. However, water is the priority."
The smaller of the generals inclined his head in respect before walking backwards out of the tent. She stood close to her taller and much more trusted general. Her eyes never left the bold Steward and, although dislike wasn't evident in her expression, it was in her voice.
"I do believe that concludes formalities. I shall take my leave."

Aragorn stood when the Harad witch drew her sword, un-armed as he was. "Before you leave witch. I Aragorn King of Gondor declare war on the people of Harad and always remember this witch. Nemo me Impune Lacssist. Remember it well becuase Gondor will show no mercy to all warrior's of the Haradrim." Aragorn said. "Oh and one more thing, take this wretch with you. He's yours." Aragorn said kicking the dead Harad commander. "Then leave these lands."

Rácine was gritting her teeth with self restraint. "I maintain my courtesy and it is thrown back at me with insults. Such is the nobility and diplomacy of Gondor. Hah! Spare me."
Forever proud and vain, she would not let such a damning blow land upon her. She took the dead man at her feet and with a few fluid movement managed to hang him over her shoulder, ignoring the stains upon her white silk. She was not weak and was determined to prove it and Gondor would be sorry for ever incurring her wrath.
She left the pavilion, trying to appear unburden by the literally dead weight. Morduath was ready with her camel much to her relief and as she passed him she pressed her lips to his ear so no one else may hear; "Muster my Corsairs, I want to close all of Gondor's sea trade routes. Contact all Mumak herders and increase the order of Rhun ores so we might get some good armour."

Faramir smirked as she threw the soldier over her shoulder. She was attempting to look as though his weight did not affect her, but of course it did. She would not be able to carry him far or for long. Faramir turned to Aragorn and grinned. 'Good luck carrying him far!'
'Diplomacy as it always is,' Faramir bowed his head a little. 'If I may be excused, my lord, I think that Eowyn would be pleased to hear that I am still in one piece. As you should aslo return to Minas Tirith and consult with the leaders there. I will gather Beregod and Damrod from there watches and we shall return to you three days from now.'

Aragorn looked at Faramir and laughed "She's gone you can stp calling me "My Lord" now my old friend." Aragorn;s face turned grave again. He didn't make much of the Witch but she was thier Queen, whether the would follow or not was a different story. As for Rhun being over crowded a down staright lie, alothough Aragorn would not argue the point out with the witch.
"What do you make of the Harad witch?" he asked Faramir as he climbed up onto Brego.

'Hmmm, she is headstrong and determind. I assume that she wants the best for her people, or revenge for their defeat during the War of the Ring, I do not know. But, it is clear that she did not come here to negotiate peace. I think that even if we had surrendered some of Gondor to her, the attacks upon Ithilien would not have ceased.'
Faramir walked across to one of the grave looking men and whispered something to him. He mounted his horse and made of towards the direction of the Forbidden Pool.
'My apologies Aragorn, but I must take my leave now.'
