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.”

Or Dorwinion wine. Or mead. Or, and quite possibly herein lies the problem, all three ;-)

*laughs* Too true! You are so good at writing this kind of humor-- very elegant and hilarious and full of lovely characterization. Well done!

I think that's the first time my descriptions of Middle-earth excess have ever been called elegant! But I'm glad the characterisations ring true for you. It's silly, but I couldn't resist it :-)
