remember how Strider and the rangers are regarded with fear and suspicion by the Breelanders at the Prancing Pony, mostly just because they come and go irregularly, are armed, and don’t openly discuss their business, which probably wouldn’t be understood even if they did? or how many people in the Shire, Rohan, and Gondor are wary of Gandalf, because he usually shows up when there’s trouble, not understanding the difference between causing trouble and trying to prevent it?
