Description
The king and all his company sat silent on their horses, marvelling, perceiving that the power of Saruman was overthrown; but how they could not guess. And now they turned their eyes towards the archway and the ruined gates. There they saw close beside them a great rubble-heap; and suddenly they were aware of two small figures lying on it at their ease, grey-clad, hardly to be seen among the stones. There were bottles and bowls and platters laid beside them, as if they had just eaten well, and now rested from their labour. One seemed asleep; the other, with crossed legs and arms behind his head, leaned back against a broken rock and sent from his mouth long wisps and little rings of thin blue smoke.
📖 J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings. Book III, Chapter 8: The Road to Isengard⁠

For the day 2 prompt "wisp" of my Tolkien-themed #inktober2020 I wanted to do some pipe-smoke and I think this is the scene where it is the most distinctly brought into attention (as something unusual). ⁠
