Chapter 51
Two Dimwits
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The next morning we left for Gondor.
"I'm going to miss Dol Amroth." I said
"You weren't even here a day." Said Eomer
"Yes, but I got a job almost immediately. And the rude people were drunk, no sober rude people, unless I count you."
"Why would you count me?"
"You stared at me the entire time."
"Because I knew you were lying."
I shrugged "Staring still is rude."
Eomer just rolled his eyes.
"Why did you leave anyway, Anna?" he asked later. "I know we said if you weren't happy you could leave."
"It's not that I wasn't happy," I said "I was just bored."
"Bored?" he repeated
"Well, not bored. I don't know how to explain it." I gave an aggravated sigh "I missed traveling with the Fellowship, I guess." I smiled "I used to drive Boromir mad be singing."
Lothiriel laughed "I was Boromir's cousin; he never could stand music lessons. He always tried to get out of them."
"He thought I was crazy."
"Why?"
"Numerous reasons. That I sang a song called 'A Pirates Life for Me', just the fact that I sang, and the fact that I was traveling with an entire group of men. And the time I jumped out of the boat into the river, that didn't help his impression of me either. He was always nice though, he just thought I was bit off."
"Well, you are." Said Eomer
"Eomer!" said Lothiriel
"I heard what you told Beregond after Faramir took you in that one night."
I blushed, "I forgot about that."
"What did she tell him?" asked Lothiriel
"Nothing!" I said "I said nothing."
"I'll tell you later." Murmured Eomer
"Halt!"
Oh great, those two Rangers.
"Where are you from, and where are you going? We cannot let you pass until we know."
"I am the King of Rohan." Said Eomer "Is that enough? I do I have to tell you my Queen, Lothiriel, late of Dol Amroth, or Anna, who was there at many battles, such as the Black Gate," I gave them a Little Rascals wave "is that enough, or do I need to have you get the King of Gondor to ratify that?"
"You can pass, your highnesses." And both of them gave a clumsy bow.
As soon as we were passed, I burst out laughing.
"Nice one Eomer."
"They were dimwitted." Said Eomer
"You shouldn't have been so mean." said Lothiriel
"Believe me," I said "I had gone through those two. They aren't very quick."
Lothiriel just shook her head.
"So, what are we going to tell Aragorn, and Faramir?" asked Eomer
"I don't know." I said "What ever you want."
"Really?"
"With in reason!" I said
"Okay, okay, I have an idea. Nothing bad, we'll just surprise them."
"Sounds good."

How was that chappie?
Oh yes, a Little Rascal wave is when you put your right hand, like where your hand meets your wrist, under your chin, and then wiggle your fingers like your waving. That's the password to their clubhouse.
