The Very Secret Diary of Erina, Annoying Rohirrim Brat (Part II) Day One Am beginning to wish I hadn't destroyed the Elf's hair care products, as Aragorn could use some serious shampoo right about now. Had argument with Legolas about whether or not he should let Aragorn use some of the remaining shampoo. Won argument, but pointless as Aragorn refused to wash with anything that smelled like when you were having a picnic on a fine spring day in Rivendell, as reminded him of Arwen, who he had to leave behind. Pointed out that Arwen would *not* have wanted him to smell this bad. Was forced to sleep in a tree. Day Three Have been running almost nonstop since last entry. Exhausted. At one point had to be carried by Aragorn because passed out from lack of sleep. Was awoken by being dropped into v. cold stream. Suspect Elf's idea. Have been lagging behind with Gimli, who they still have not gotten a horse. Have been staring at Legolas's ass for two days. Not happy. Day Four Aragorn found Elven brooch belonging to Pippin. Cried, fearing the worst, and was stared at by all three. Hate Elves, dislike Dwarves, and have thing against Still-Not-King-Yet, who disgusted everyone by skinning a squirrel and eating it.Cut self a bit trying to catch own squirrel. Anything better than lembas. Day Five Realized we were home in Rohan when saw Eomer out with Riders. Got mad at him for riding my horse, but got her back, along with a horse for Aragorn, and one for Legolas and Gimli. Think am insulted Gimli wants to ride with nancing pansy Elf. Was told by Eomer Father has not gotten better, then went off into string of v. important gossip before Aragorn decided to stick his giant sweaty nose into things. Asked Eomer if had seen Hobbits. Got negative response, but was told they spent all night killing Orcs, and had piled and burned bodies some ways away. Said goodbye to Eomer, and set off after others v. annoyed, because dead Orcs proved Legolas was not talking about me cutting myself when he said blood had been spilt that night. Went and saw pile of burning Orc corpses. Nothing special. Just...giant pile of dead, burning Orcs. Day Seven Met Gandalf in creepy new outfit that will probably stain v. easily. Says is now "Gandalf the White". Noted lack of pointy hat and cheered to self: no pointy hat means no pointy hat trick. Aragorn told Gandalf all that had happened, and then swas told we should go to Edoras. Nodded vigorously, but did not say anything, as was not in mood to feel blunt end of axe again, nor Gandalf's shiny new staff. Discovered upon arriving home that sister Theoda has been following me since I left for Rivendell. Somewhat confused and doubtfull about that, but have decided to disregard it. Finished hearing gossip from cousin Eowyn. Not as interesting as I thought, but v. important nonetheless. Cursed Aragorn. Eomer right about Father not being better, as he looked like an albino dwarf after two years pickling in the Dead Marshes. Told trusty sidekick Grima so, only to find out he was spy from Saruman. Father healed by Gandalf. No longer looks so bad. Found out brother Theodred died fighting Isengard Orcs. Cried. Was this time comforted by sister, who told me to keep Gimli at arm's length, as Father was likely to disapprove, and he was getting too grabby, anyways. Asked what that had to do with Theodred, was told sister did not know, but it seemed important at the time. Whapped sister with dinner-plate-like-shield that belonged to Boromir, then went to room to sulk. Betting she wants Gimli for herself. Day Ten Off to Helm's deep. Let Gimli ride my horse. Sneered at sister. Suspect bitch slap fight brewing between me and Legolas. Day Thirteen Bitch slap fight commenced. Won. Boasted until was pushes off horse by sore loser Elf. Did not win following fist-fight. Group has arrived at Helm's Deep, after big battle in which Aragorn fell over cliff. Prima donna. Just trying to steal my glory! Day Fifteen Aragorn came back today. Said there was army of ten thousand-some odd Orcs coming our way. Father didn't believe him. He was right. Day Sixteen Fought all night and only won when poncy Elves came from Lothlorien, and Gandalf returned with Eomer and Riders. Gave Gimli congratulatory kiss. Not sure what to think. A bit...fuzzy. Do not know what will happen next, but Aragorn says I'm just as much now the Fourth Hunter as I was before a Rohirrim Princess. Hope that does not mean Aragorn thinks I am becoming a tomboy. Also hope that does not mean Aragorn intends to leave me behind.
