The Married Life: Faramir and Eowyn!
After the Barbecue
Eowyn and Arwen stay all smiles while Aragorn and Faramir go back to playing their game. After Aragorn and Arwen leave, however, is a
completely different story...
Door shuts
Eowyn: slaps Faramir across the head What were you thinking? Going off to Mount Doom like that, leaving Arwen and I
here all alone. How do you think that makes me feel?!? And what's more, you come back with your meat six hours late, and it's been
burnt to unedibleness! Do you think gold coins grow on trees? That was high-quality Oliphaunt meat!
Faramir: with bent head Yes, m'am.
Eowyn: Now clean up, and turn off that darn palantir!
Faramir: Yes, m'am.
He turns away to go do as he is told when the phone rings. He stops to answer it.
Faramir: Hello? Yes, Eowyn is here. Honey it's for you!
Eowyn comes over and takes the phone from Faramir.
Eowyn: Hello? Oh, it's you Arwen! Long time, no talk. Oh no, it's no problem, really. I had a great
time at the barbeque. It's okay, the Oliphaunt wasn't that much. No, it's okay, really. I had a great time.
She glares at Faramir from across the room. Yes, I'll see you tomorrow for tea and lembas. Four o'clock. Of course I
can send Faramir out of the house then. Yes, Galadriel is welcome too. Bye.
Faramir: What?!? The second-half of the Dwarf-Tossing Championship is tomorrow at four, and you know I can't miss it!
Eowyn: Well Arwen and Galadriel are coming over, so you'll just have to make other arrangements.
Faramir: You always have to send my out of the house in good company, don't you?
Eowyn: It's how I manage to get them to visit again.
Faramir glares at Eowyn.
Faramir: Fine, then I'll just go to Legolas's tomorrow, and there'll be Aragorn and Gimli and Merry and Pippen.
Goes to the phone and dials a number.
Faramir: Yes, Mirkwood? I'd like a connection to Mr. Legolas Greenleaf. Yes, I'll hold. pause
Hello Legolas! I was wondering if you wanted to have a men/elf/dwarf/hobbits day tomorrow. Yeah, the whole gang. frowns
Yes, Eowyn is having company. You can't make it? You're watching the Dwarf-Tossing Champions with Elrond?
Oh, I see. Well, good-bye, then.
