Ho, Ho, Ho, to the Bottle I Go

Elf and Dwarf escaped with relief from the feast into the starlit Court of the Fountain.

“Fresh air! And the noise in there…”

“There’ll be some sore heads in the morning,”  the Dwarf agreed. “But if I understand aright, Gondor hasn’t seen a King crowned for an Age!”

A burly figure was leaning against the wall across the courtyard, waving a drinking-horn erratically and making an odd, rhythmical moaning noise. Gimli frowned.

“Is that –”

The keener-eyed elf nodded. “Éomer King of Rohan.”

“What ails the lad? Is he ill? In pain?”

Legolas shuddered delicately. “I think… that he is singing.”

LOL! Poor Éomer - he's certainly going to be ill and in pain by the morning! I love this look at the celebrations after Aragorn's coronation.

Oh that had to be so painful for an Elf to hear! LOL This was great fun. I love it when important characters are caught out. Bravo!

Eomer's been drinking dwarf ale, hasn't he?

As the usual designated driver for my friends, I concur that Legolas be the designated elf. But a sober Gimli? Unheard of!

LOL

Fun piece!~

*snort* Poor Legolas must be in pain, indeed--great use of the prompt.
