Heading up to the caverns, Aragorn drew his sword, figuring he might come across unfriendly company. Something told him he wasn't alone as he got closer, so he readied his sword.
"I know you're in there so you might as well come out." If the ranger could save his energy without having to fight he most certainly would. But even if he had no idea who or what exactly was in there, at least he would be ready.
A man. That caught her by surprise. There were the rangers that roamed the land, but, she thought they would have stayed together and not apart. Tauriel glanced to the side before pushing herself to stand. She stepped from behind the rocks, spinning the daggers in her hands to show that she would fight if she had to.
As a sign that he wasn't out to hurt her, Aragorn nodded and put the sword away. He hadn't expected to see an elf maiden out here alone, or then again maybe there were others of her kind nearby to come to her aid. And in that case, he certainly wasn't going to try and tangle with her.
His eyes regarded her and he shook his head slowly, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender. "I mean you no harm." And he meant it.
Her eyes went to his sword. As it sheathed she lowered her daggers. Tauriel gave a nod of acceptance to his gesture. He would find no enemy from her unless he wished it so.
"I have never seen a ranger." Tauriel replied in greeting.
Aragorn wasn't sure whether or not to smile and so he didn't though he was relieved he wasn't going to get into a fight. "There's not many of us left it seems." But then again he chose to wander alone most of the time and so he really didn't associate with the other rangers from the North.
"Not this far into Middle-Earth." Tauriel agreed. She walked out from the back of the cave with her head tilting to the side slightly. "What brings you this far East?"
He shrugged lightly. "I have my reasons but not all who wander are lost." And this was why he really wasn't going to get into who he was or why he shouldn't be here.
