Something Stinks  by Chigger 5 Review(s)

x3 Buahahaha! Poetic justice. Poor old Grima. d: Now I suppose he'd have to share a stall with Eomer.
Again, great chapter, I shall finish the next one now. ^^

Author Reply: I don't believe Eomer would let him in the same stall with him. After all, *Grima* stinks! Eomer doesn't want to have anything to do with him, albeit they both smell exactly the same. :)

Thanks again for the reviews.

Grima gets what he deserves! Score one for the skunk! I wondered about the morning sightings but if I know you, you have an idea in the works here. I am content to wait and see what is wrong with mister or misses skunk.

Author Reply: I have left the skunk's health problems up to the reader's imagination, really. I have no clue why he was coming out in the morning! Maybe he was thirsty and needed just one more glass of water before going to bed! Quien sabe?

I'm glad you're enjoying Eomer's little domestic difficulty! :)

Hmmmm. Could that be the reason Grima had Eomer banished/jailed? Eh, he got what he deserved. Nicely done. :)

Author Reply: I hadn't thought of that, but it's probable. ;) Sometimes even the most composed people snap and just have to hurt *somebody*! Grima just happened to push all the wrong buttons. Glad you liked it. (Sorry for smelling up your namesake!)

Wooo---I think Grima really deserved that one. There are occasional moments when I feel a tad sorry for that evil guy, but I doubt I will be having any of those while reading this story. *g*

And our skunk pal has invaded the king's room too, huh? I found it rather amusing that the stench had the ability to actually capture Theoden's attention.

I really enjoyed Eomer's musings after he woke up---it's hard to find good serious Rohan bits, and even harder to find ones that aren't completely pathetic. Lovely job!

"He was not completely without friends, he corrected himself. He still had his horse." Loved that!!

This is a great story---thank you for sharing it!

Author Reply: Sometimes I feel sorry for a certain bad guy, I mean, some aren't bad, they're just misguided, but Grima, especially after seeing the movie, is just one big slimeball, and I can't stand the guy!

Coriel and I lived in the master bedroom there for awhile before we moved (long story) and the a/c unit was right outside our window. This lovely little skunk moved in and WHEW what a stench! We could hear him scratching and smell him living down there and it was just . . . gross! (He was later shot by our wonderful brother.) Therefore, I know that Theoden would have to notice *that* for gosh sakes. How can you help it?

I was hoping that the little serious moment in there wouldn't ruin the story. I had no intention of putting it in there, it just flowed and I hadn't the heart the take it out, so I'm glad you liked it.

A good horse is a wonderful companion, as is a good dog. We've had horses and they are really nice. You have to be careful when you rub *their* tummy though. Their feet aren't as soft as a dog's. :)

Hi Chigger, super second chapter, and I am glad Grima got his comeuppance. I did not know skunks were nocturnal, so thanks for the tip.
p.s.I am from the uk we do not have skunks here.

Author Reply: I'm from Texas, and we DO have skunks there. My older brother even had to shoot one that was wandering around our property once. It came around while we were eating lunch and I haven't been able to eat that particular kind of pasta again. That thing was UGLY!!! And SMELLY!!! Yuck!

I can't stand Grima.
