ARWEN - SCENE 2

ARWEN has defiantly arrived on the eve of Battle. ARAGORN has just discovered the identity of the cloaked archer.

ARAGORN
(surprised) Arwen!

ARWEN
I came to fight.

ARAGORN
This is madness! Your immortality will not save you from an Orc blade.

ARWEN draws her side sword.

ARWEN
I can look after myself as well as any Man!

ARAGORN reaches for ARWEN'S sword.

ARAGORN
Give me that!

ARWEN holds the sword point to his throat.

ARWEN
A solider never surrenders their weapon.

ARAGORN
(angrily swatting sword out of the way) You are no soldier - in two hours this place will be besieged, crawling with orcs!

ARWEN
I have lived through worse.

ARAGORN
You know nothing of war.

ARWEN
I know about loss.
