| wow- that was brilliant. my dog got two skunks once then another one later one, EVERYONE knew there were skunks (there were even babies living under the house) needless to say the house smelled for MONTHS. and the smell would not come off my dog (we bathed her with dog shampoo, and two cans of tomato juice twice- it turned her pink it was really funny- but she still smelled) it was a bad experience but one that we now look back upon, grateful for it to be over (another positive note for my skunk story- we found another dog because of it!) great writing- love the eomer/eowyn relationship! | |

| Oh, this was a scream! I like stories that explain some of the discrepancies between the books and the movie and this was a very. . . unusual. . . take on one. A skunk in Edoras! I loved that last line, "The King was still under the influence of the Snake, the palace still smelled, his hair was cropped short and a lot of the winter’s hay had been ruined, but things were looking up." LOL It always helps to get a new perspective on things. ;) Author Reply: I just had to do it! I couldn't help myself! :) I'm one of those authors who likes to torture their characters, only I do it in cruel and unusual ways. :D And I can picture Eowyn with a kife just hacking away at his hair. Needless to say, he doesn't look too happy about it, either. :) | |

| xDDD Very good! I was wondering about Eomer's hair-issue myself. ^bows^ Nicely done! I once had a skunk living nearby my house, and believe me, not a pleasurable experience. xP ~Rochwen the spastic reviewer. Author Reply: I suppose cutting off a Man's hair is like shaving a dwarf. They really don't want you to do it and they will put up quite a fight, but sometimes something perfectly disgusting just has to be done away with. :) Condolences on the awful experience. That is something I would wish on no one. | |

| Now I'm worried! What if Mister Skunk was Misses Skunk and there are little stinkers about? Guess I will just have to wait and see what is going on like everyone else won't I? Author Reply: I hope, for Eomer's sake, that there aren't anymore little skunks running around. For gosh sakes, one is too much; we don't need a dozen more! And sorry about that, but I forgot to click the 'complete' button. I may add more to this story at a later date, but for now it's finished. Thanks for the reviews! | |

| Good thing Eomer got the skunk. I could almost smell that polecat; I've smelled enough around where I live. It is NOT a very pleasant smell, and I really can't blame Theoden moving to another part of the palace! Author Reply: I understand perfectly. We lived right on the highway in Texas and skunks where getting creamed on the road all the time! Besides that we had some factory down the road that, when the wind was just right, would blow stink right at us. Still, I can't help but miss that great state! :) I can commiserate with Theoden, the poor guy. I know I wanted to move when the durn thing invaded MY room. :) Thanks for the review. | |

| That poor skunk! Well, I suppose he had it coming to him. But, Eomer's hair is short? It would take me at least a year to grow mine as long as his was in the movie. :) Author Reply: Eomer was supposed to have a long braid, but in the movie, he had shoulder length hair that he just let fly all over the place half the time. Nothing aggravates me more than somebody with long hair in his face. PULL IT BACK! OK, sorry about that. But, yeah, the skunk is dead and all may relax now.:) (Except Grima. He's not allowed to relax.) | |

| Oh dear...Eomer has killed the poor skunk. If it were a typical, fairly innocent skunk I might have to leave a rank, but since this is a very disgusting and rather violent skunk, I suppose I can't get upset. *g* Hmm...so that's why his hair is shorter in the movie! Makes sense. It dawned on me that he could have used vinegar to get of the smell. Oh well...I think the story is better without it. *g* Lovely last chapter, Chigger. --Aranel Author Reply: Do they have vinegar in Rohan? I don't think that I could ever feel sorry for a skunk. Except maybe that poor skunk in Bambi that was ambushed by the dreaded Mary Sue! :) Thanks for the review! | |

| Hi Chigger, super last chapter, So that is why Eomer's hair is not as long as the other Rohirrim!! Now I know!! Author Reply: Coriel and I noticed that, and so I decided to put it in my story. Hey, if something stinks, cut it off. :) Thanks for all the feedback. | |
