When in Rohan

Aragorn and Eomer walked around the lake, reminiscing of days past. The sun was high in the mid day sky, alighting Rohan and making the golden hall shine.

"Ah it is a beautiful day my friend." Eomer drew the pipe in to his mouth, a habit he had picked up from his close friendship with the King of Gondor. The smoke wisped around the men as they took their leisurely stroll. To any passer by they appeared the picture of tranquillity, both enjoying the morning for what it was, happy to escape from counsel so early.

"This golden morning reminds me, very much, of the ones in Rivendell." Aragorn looked wistfully over the plains. Eomer nodded in agreement before remembering that he had never seen Rivendell.

"I doubt very much you once took in the scenery at Rivendell, not when you had such a fair, reserved, maiden there to gaze upon." He winked and motioned back to the hall, where Arwen was talking with Lothiriel.

Aragorn laughed and shook his head. "Reserved say you! Nay, not Arwen. Why she has the strength and skill to fight many a man I know."

Eomer laughed with him. "Yes Lothiriel when she came to me, knew not how to hold a blade. I soon saw to that. She is the wife of the Lord of the Rohirrim, she is more then capable in battle now."

Aragorn stopped and faced Eomer. "Yes yes, but Arwen has been through many trials. She has spent years crafting her skill."

Eomer puffed on his pipe and blew the smoke in to Aragorn's face. "Lothiriel has skill, yet she is also a lady and knows where her place is.

Aragorn's face suddenly lost it's carelessness. "And Arwen is not a lady?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arwen smelled deeply, the flowers growing wild about them. She bent to pick a few and handed them to Lothiriel.

"We are so glad that you have come again so soon. It is nice for the children to befriend on another." Lothiriel smiled sweetly at her companion. Arwen smiled back remembering Eldarion's exact words upon hearing of their journey to Edoras.

"She is evil Naneth. You must promise not to leave me alone with Ithiliwen, not even for a second. I cannot stand her."

"Yes, I am sure the children are playing together as we speak." Arwen's sharp Elven eyes began to scan the plains. Her brow furrowed as she caught the sight of her husband frolicking in the lake.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eomer lunged at Aragorn, pushing him under the water. Both men were completely drenched and covered in dirt. When Aragorn emerged from the icy water he growled and got Eomer's head under his arm.

"Aragorn Elesser! What do you think you are doing?"

Aragorn and Eomer released one another and stared up at their appalled wives. Aragorn swam to the edge and lifted himself up on to the grass, he was quickly joined by Eomer, who looked sheepishly at Lothiriel. Whilst Lothiriel went in to a rant about how a King was supposed to behave, Arwen simply looked down at her dishevelled husband, and realised that to her own disgust, she had never wanted him more. There was something strangely exciting at seeing the two men, wet and wrestling. He looked up at her, his untidy hair falling in to his eyes.

She gazed at him, rather amused and went to stand beside Lothiriel. "Here they are, the great Kings of the west." She mocked.

"I mean look at you! You are supposed to set an example! You look no better then an Orc at this moment! Go back to the hall and clean yourself up!" Lothiriel's voice pierced the men's ears, and Aragorn thanked the Valar for his understanding wife.

The two women turned and began to walk away, Arwen treated Aragorn to a look that told him she would be assisting in his bath.

Eomer turned to Aragorn and simply said. "Women!"

Aragorn nodded and sighed. "Yes, they just do not understand do they."

Eomer stood up and held out his hand to help his friend to his feet. "Exactly my point!" His voice was loud and commanding. "They no nothing of the ways that men work things out. They do not understand that we are animals at heart."

Aragorn brushed some drying dirt off of his Kingly garb and longed for his ranger days. Eomer continued to rant, he puffed out his chest and stood tall and proud, despite the wet mop of hair falling in his eyes. "We are Kings!" He proclaimed. "We are their husbands, their Lords! Should we not be-"

"Are you coming or not?"

Both men spun round to see their wives waiting, impatiently for them. They faced each other and smiled, slightly embarrassed, before turning to the women and in perfect unison saying. "Coming dear."

Eldarion held out his arm for his sister to take. Together the young Prince and Princess walked down the steps, that lead down from the golden hall of Meduseld. They walked to the small market that was bustling under the hot sun, eager to spend such a lovely day outside. As ever, they were closely followed by an escort; a large man that permanently smelled of vinegar.

"After we have taken a turn of the market, we can easily lose him and take our ride." Galadwen walked with every grace that one would expect from the Princess of Gondor, yet the mischief that was permanently fixed in her eyes, told her brother that she was about to get them both in trouble again.

"He will not be so easy to loose Galadwen, and besides do you think it fair to worry Ada and Naneth like that?" Eldarion nodded to the people in the streets as they bowed before the royal children. Galadwen shook her head; her brother was certainly on his way to being King, Galadwen, although she would never admit it out loud, was very proud of Eldarion.

"They will assume we have gone off to be children for the day. Come on, over here." She dragged Eldarion over to a stall and began looking through the merchandise. The burly guard stood still and folded his arms over his chest whilst he waited for the children to move on. This was going to be easy, they had had plenty of practice of escaping from guards. They both walked round the back of the stall, whilst Eldarion picked up a piece of materiel, Galadwen pretended to drop her necklace.

"Oh bother. Eldarion would you help me find my jewel?"

The siblings dropped to their knees and scurried under the table. The stall next door was just a small distance and they dashed under it, on their hands and knees. Galadwen felt her stocking rip and she silently cursed the gravelled floor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arwen walked in to her bed chambers to find her husband drying himself off with a towel. "Where have you been? I thought that maybe you would join me."

Arwen stepped closer to him, taking his towel away. "It would seem that our children have run off again."

Aragorn laughed and closed his arms around her waist. "Let them be children love. No harm will come to them here."

Aragorn slipped her no sleeved dress off of her shoulder and brought his mouth down to it. She giggled as his wet hair brushed against her cheek. "Estel you are getting me wet."

Aragorn brought his mischievous eyes back up to hers and raised his eyebrows. "Well that didn't take long did it. I must be good"

He picked her up in his arms and laid her, softly, on the bed. She lay there smiling with all the warmth and love she felt inside, eager for him to come to her.
