“Of all the people in my life, I loved you most.”

“Is it really acceptable to torture, maim or kill in the name of the greater good? Or does that make us like our enemies?”

“Tell me something interesting.”

        ❝ I cannot say that I am surprised … the king’s advisor has never liked me much, and seems to have been waiting for any excuse to issue a banishment. ❞ Horn paused in his packing, though there wasn’t a lot that he was taking. He set his harp down beside his bag and turned to face Eowyn properly. 

        ❝ I wrote to my father in Eaworth, but he made it quite clear that I would not be welcomed back into his halls. I miss my home greatly, and would like little more than to see it again one day, but he is the Reeve of the entire region, in addition to being my sire. I  CANNOT  disobey him.❞

“My Uncle’s advisor does not much like anyone.” Except me, she thought, with a barely suppressed shudder. “It is beginning to feel as though he will surely banish all the Kingdom, and leave none but myself and my Uncle here to fend for ourselves as the darkness consumes all.” Grim thoughts, perhaps, but grim had been the Lady’s life of late. Her footsteps tracked, shadowed, without hope of an end.  “I am sorry.” She felt an apology was owed, though it would little resolve his situation. “I am sorry that you are being sent away, and I am sorry that you could not even go home...” She shook her head, her mouth drawn thin and forehead crunched with pain on his behalf. “Will you...will you be on your own?”

“Too long, m’lady.” Thera gave a smile in return, eyes darting a little to assess and confirm what first impression conveyed - that the lady was and remained safe and well. “And I am glad of this reunion.”

When last they had met it had led to a forced and reluctant parting - Thera fleeing with the wounded Prince, forced by need and insistence to leave Eowyn behind. That decision had weighed heavy, her thoughts troubled by what might have befallen in her wake; it was a relief for find that whatever it may have been, it would heal.

“Yes.” A quiet tone, attempting a wider smile, “It has gone. Setting to rights … that is still underway.”

“It will take some time, I think,” she said, “but even in the meantime there is much reason to smile.” How hopeless she had thought it all was, before the final end! She had stood upon the wall of the Houses of Healing and gazed into the East, and she had seen naught but oncoming doom. Then the earth had shuddered and groaned, and sunlight had burst through the shadow -- and gentle Lord Faramir had taken her hand.  Now that despair was gone, no longer weighing down the White Lady of Rohan. It was replaced with blissful happiness, and the first stages of healing, recovery. No longer was she haunted, nor seeking a glorious death. “I am gladdened to see you.” Éowyn smiled as she spoke. “Will you be staying in Gondor long? Perhaps for Lord Aragorn’s coronation?”

Very very temporary ‘official’ pause until Saturday or Sunday! (Considering I’ve been ‘absent’ for a bit). Will be back on Theodred, Haldir & Eowyn then! In the meantime, catch me at @ofgoldcnflowcrs, the various sideblogs off of that blog, and @ofcldcrdays.

lt-theodoregroves:

Lightly the Rider shoved the horse away from him, then harder when the stallion refused to give him room to breathe. “Aye Lady, I don’t wish for him to harm you even on accident, he lacks any sense of how to be gentle around us mere men.” He smiled broadly, trying to goad the bright expression onto her face, wishing that she did not have to bear the worries of their entire nation even though she so willingly did.

“Any hope at all is plenty. If you called for volunteers to follow you to Mordor I would do it, all of us would. So far as I know, Lady, no darkness has been able to fully overwhelm Middle Earth in the past and it won’t do so now. Though, it will take more than a single company of us.”

“I have a hope at least that you shall have no need to follow me into Mordor, Theodore.” Perhaps that was indeed the faintest hint of a smile, before at last it started to grow, and she became at least somewhat cheered by his efforts. How strange that she could not, it seemed, resist the urge to smile around him, no matter how hard her natural, usual low mood seemed to try to persist. “But you are right in stating that we would need more than a single company to do so. I think that we would need quite a bit more than that!”  Shaking her head at both the thought and at Theodore’s ungentle horse, she came and sat herself lightly down between the young Rider and her slumbering cousin. “You will have to rest up before we can wander into any manner of a battle, you know. You cannot go in there only half on your feet! In the meantime I shall have to keep you company, I think.” Have to? More like wanted to. He had very swiftly (and righteously) found his way into her heart to become what the White Lady needed most of all: a friend.

Alright, I’ve been sort of unofficially gone for a while, but I am still here. Owing to suddenly having LOADS of muse for my novel, I’m taking a semi/full hiatus on ALL BLOGS until Monday 3rd July. However, I may suddenly get a huge desire to post some things before then, so you might see a lot of stuff suddenly popping up.

“You would decide this for us all?” “We have a chance to be free.” “Time has come for us to tell those who are aiming to make us slaves they are no longer welcome in this place.” “I’m sorry, you think it’s a good sign she’s taking this seriously?” “Perhaps you need to have a little bit more faith in people.” “Tell me this is not happening.” “It would appear that I’ve failed to appreciate just how deeply this situation has disturbed you.” “If I wanted to kill you, I’d have done it already.” “Pains me being this close to you. Should tell you how fucking desperate I am.” “Your plan isn’t dangerous enough.” “I don’t know how else to say this except no. I suppose there’s fuck no or fuck you.” “Because of your tone, I’m disinclined to be so generous.” “The way I see it, I may be the only person in this world who can dissuade him from killing you.” “A happy life can often be a very dangerous thing.” “You’re not here because you want to protect me. You’re here because you want to fuck me.” “This person you’d give your life to protect, give our lives to protect, whoever they are, you’ll never see them again.” “You don’t know me.” “Seems our paths were meant to meet in this moment.” “Are you a fucking lunatic?” “What’s to stop me from killing you for getting us into this mess?” “I don’t know where you’re getting your information from, but I can assure you, it is mistaken.” “Someone is lying to you. If you tell me who it was, I might be able to help you figure out why.” “Darling, I’m so very disappointed in you.” “I don’t imagine I’ll be doing much sleeping till I know this is finished, thank you very much.” “I certainly didn’t expect to find you down in the hold.” “Nearly faced another mutiny all over again.” “I’m not gonna do that. I’d rather prove you wrong.” “What? Afraid I got loose lips?” “Do I not deserve a say about this?” “You had your say. Now I’ll have mine.” “Those men out there, they made you admit you were wrong. They made you feel weak.” “I think you felt compelled to let everyone on this island know that in this place, no one fucks with you and gets away with it.” “I told her given the choice between them and me, you’d choose me.”

“You’re dripping blood across my floor.” “Whoever tied this bandage was either blind or drunk.” “I told her I would protect her. Did she not believe me?” “I must admit, given how long it’s taken to track him, I had wondered if it was a lost cause.” “I just, well, I was hoping to have you all to myself.” “Well, you all seem rather angry with me. Especially you.” “If I were to write it all down what’s to stop you from killing me right here?” “I have an extremely low tolerance for pain, I’ll say anything to make it stop.” “Well, that’s a few weeks from now, isn’t it? We might be friends by then.” “Wait, we’re moving ahead?” “As I said. You’ll have it.” “You. Come with me.” “I can’t help but notice that you don’t seem to like me very much. Do you mind if I ask why?” “I know this is difficult but I need you to trust me.” “Who the fuck are you kidding?” “Oh, they might save you from the gallows, but they won’t spare you their scorn.” “Think on that while you sit here and pretend that helping me isn’t the only choice you have.” “You know what I find hard to believe? We’ve been on land two days and you still haven’t gotten yourself laid. Now that’s a fucking mystery worth investigating.” “What’s this? You backing out?” “You make me climb those fucking stairs just to see you again and my first order of business will be tossing you and that poxy chair into the fucking ocean.” “Don’t be pleasant with me. I know why you’re here.” “Some risks nowadays, it’s more dangerous not to take ‘em.” “No matter how many lies we tell ourselves or no matter how many stories we convince ourselves we’re part of, we’re all just thieves awaiting a noose.” “After 50 years at sea you’re the only man I’ve ever met that’s gotten dumber with age.” “I want to live. Earning your trust seemed like a good start toward that end.” “He’s got no one left but the misfits. How dangerous can he be?” “That wasn’t a joke, was it?” “They need to yell every now and then. It’s good for their self-esteem.” “Do you really think I’d bring you something like this with just money to offer in return?” “Are you as surprised as I am that I’m the only one here behaving myself?” “What have we been doing here all day if you’re planning on pulling this shit?” “You do understand I had no choice. What you did, it required an answer.” “I’m afraid I’ve become a burden.” “True love shouldn’t require suffering, and you don’t have to take my word for it.” “You move, you die.” “We could have been free.” “He didn’t do this to me. You did.” “So, what now? You here to threaten me?” “To him, we’re all disposable.”
