Schön, daß Du so schnell updatest!
Hm, also war Amrothos doch ähnlich schlimm wie seine Neffen? Bisher kenne ich ja eigentlich nur seine freche Klappe und die enervierende Tendenz, immer dann aufzutauchen, wenn man ihn am wenigsten brauchen kann. Naja, es sieht so aus, als ob ihm die eigene Erfahrung zumindest einige Ideen gegeben hat, wie er seine Neffen im Zaum halten kann. Ich bin sicher, daß die Jungen von der Idee begeistert sein werden, ein Katapult zu bauen. Nur - hat der gute Amrothos eigentlich auch bedacht, was man nach Fertigstellung damit anrichten kann?? Insofern bin ich nicht ganz sicher, ob die Idee wirklich so gut ist.

Für diese Story lohnt es sich, ein bißchen länger auf Updates von der anderen zu warten. Zwar war ich immer der Meinung, daß Amrothos eine tierische Nervensäge ist, aber jetzt tut er mir direkt leid. Irgendwie bin ich nicht sicher, daß er *das* verdient hat. Da muß er selber ja noch harmlos gewesen sein im Vergleich zu diesem Trio, der arme Kerl. (Du siehst, ich beginne meine Meinung über Lothíriels jüngsten Bruder zu ändern!) Und seine eigenen Kinder kommen dann wohl mehr nach der Mutter? Oder können die nur ihren Cousins nicht das Wasser reichen? Bin gespannt, etwas mehr über Amrothos' Familie zu hören.
Was besagtes Trio anbetrifft - sagen wir einfach, Éomer und Lothíriel haben den Nachwuchs, den sie verdienen. Es war einfach nichts anderes zu erwarten, wenn die zwei sich zusammentun *g*. Wobei die zwei erstaunlich nachsichtig mit ihren Söhnen zu sein scheinen, obwohl natürlich ihre Streiche andererseits sehr unterhaltsam sind. Oder jedenfalls die meisten ...
Freue mich auf das nächste Kapitel!

Naja, es ist ja eigentlich Amrothos selbst, der die Ansicht vertritt, dass er im Vergleich zu seinen Neffen gar nicht soooo schlimm war. Und es ist ja erwiesen, dass Menschen die Tendenz haben, im Rückblick vieles in einem weitaus positiveren Licht zu sehen, als es tatsächlich der Fall war.
Und natürlich haben Éomer und Lothíriel genau den Nachwuchs, den sie verdienen. Schließlich sind Kinder ein Produkt ihrer Erziehung. – Oder die Rache der Chromosomen?

Well - the offspring of Lothiriel and Eomer were never exactly going to be angels. But these three take curiosity and courage a smidgeon too far, perhaps! At least two of their mother's brothers think so - with good reason. Perhaps it's a good thing that the two youngest haven't yet escaped the watchful eye of their nurses to join in the party.
And what poetic justice for Amrothos - who seems to have escaped with unfairly co-operative children. Although I note that his daughter determined that the rest of the family would not be visiting Edoras this time. I'm sure Imrahil would consider the frogspawn a fair price to pay for watching his son attempt to subdue three little Rohirric demons. And their warg of a dog.
Lovely. Simply lovely. I am thoroughly looking forward to more of this.

Perhaps you remember what Imrahil said to Erchirion after the ‘behourd’? “My only solace is that one day all of you will have children of your own,” the Lord of Dol Amroth remarked philosophically. “And then I will sit back, watch and gloat.” In a way that wish came back to him to do some haunting, but what is a bit of frogspawn in comparison to all the entertainment he gets?
Don’t be too hopeful regarding the two youngest. They are going to show up later and they are really promising

Have I ever told you that I adore your fics? Seriously, there's always at least one part that leaves me in gales of laughter and the whole incident with Erchirion and the bed... genius. It is hilarious to watch Amrothos get a taste of his own medicine though I have to admit, the princes sound like genuine terrors. Maybe Eomer's ignoring their behavious because it's good to scare off orcs. And I would LOVE to know what Imrahil, Aragorn, Arwen, Faramir, Eowyn, Gimli and Legolas think of their friend's offspring!
Lovin' it. PLEASE UPDATE SOON!

My idea with the bed chamber prank came from a RL incident. One of my cousins (and I have legions of them) got married a couple of years ago and my brother and her brothers took out all bolts and screws from her newly assembled marriage-bed. You can imagine that the wedding night was a rather uncomfortable affair, spent on the sofa bed in the living room. Her husband had a good come-back the next morning: he dismantled the start plugs from all the brothers’ cars.
Give E/L’s three hellions a few year to grow up, plus additional reinforcement by little Forðred, and they will not just scare off Orcs but any evil that might threaten Rohan. And the rest of the Rohirrim can stay home and put their feet up.

I want to know what happened in the 10 years in between!!! Sounds like the royal couple have their hands full, 5 kids, wow! I have 3 and they drive me batty!! Glad to read Amrothos finally settled down. Keep writing, gotta have more!
Author's reply
If you read attentively you will find several hints of what has happened over the past ten years to all the well-known characters.
Three kids yourself? A good average. My mother had four within six years and she somehow managed to stay sane, which – in retrospect - amazes her considerably.

lol... Boys will be boys... :-D Sounds like at least they are having fun ;-)
Author's reply
That’s the idea. Doesn’t everybody want his children to say one day: “I had a great childhood. I had such fun.”?

Five boys! Oh my! Rather like building your own basketball team, though in this case perhaps rugby team would be more apropo. It doesn't seem that anyone else has had problems with the high jinks of the boys, Eomer even sounds like he must been a hellion. It sounds like Aelfwine, Eomund and Hroager are too smart for their age - is military school for manners an option before everyone in Lothiriel's family refuses to visit Rohan?
Author's reply
Definitely no military school for those three. Who wants a bunch of goody-two-shoes, who are always standing to attention?
By the way: only four boys. One of the twins is - very much to Éomer’s relief – a girl, Théodwyn.
But I love the idea of a rugby team. Just imagine: They are going to found the RRL, the Rohirric Rugby League!

Oh my goodness, what little hellions! Somebody should prank them right back and good too, so they can know what it feels like to be hurt and humiliated, all in the name of "fun." I can't believe Lothi and Eomer would let their kids run wild this way, but maybe they're too busy making more kids in the royal bedchamber to pay much attention.

I gather from your comment that you are not very keen on playing practical jokes or that you aren’t the biggest fan of Hubert, Deuteronomy and Louis Duck also known as Huey, Dewy and Louie?
I can assure you, being a prankster doesn’t mean you’ve suffered from parental negligence. Otherwise my brother would qualify for being one of the most neglected kids in the Northern hemisphere.
