Laughing smiley face How absolutely delightful! Poor Haldir, overwelmed by these strange customs of Men, but loving his new bride enough to try to embrace her culture. Big Hug smiley face I really enjoy this pairing & can't wait to read more of their story.

I'm so glad you continued your beautiful story by posting this adorable and funny glimpse at Eowyn's and Haldir's life together. I like especially how you portrayed Haldir from Eomer's POV (this strange elf-man, so common and humble, yet virtuous and valiant) Cool smiley face
Excellent challenge entry Very Happy smiley face

I am now permenantly stuck with the image of Haldir chomping into an herbacious border. Laughing smiley face Lovely mix of humour and elegant language. Very Happy smiley face

Too funny... I'll never get the picture of Haldir chewing on the floral arrangement out of my head now!

Another Eruanna story? How did I miss this one? Hmm, this gives me a teasing taste of the more that I want!

This is a cute little vignette. Poor Haldir! This is certainly not meant to be a criticism. Humorous as the story is, I could not help but picture it from Haldir's point of view. You portray him as proud, yet very sensative. I wonder how he felt when he realized his mistake. Would he have felt embarrassed or humiliated? Or would his centuries of life have made him able to laugh at himself?

I have just one problem with the story. It is faaaaaaar too short! There are still so many questions that want answers. Obviously, Haldir does survive the battle to which he is going at the end of your first story. But what about his brothers? How long is it before he and Eowyn are back together again? I want a reunion story!!! Does Haldir become ill when he sees the meat on the table? If he and the other elves eat with their knives, how does Eowyn teach him to use a fork? Does he feel welcome in Rohan, or does he feel lonely except for Eowyn? There are so many things this unique couple has to learn about one another. What trials do they go through in order to make their marriage work? Can you imagine what a fight between the two of them would be like? With Eowyn's temper, I imagine it could be very... explosive. However, the make-up sceen could be Very... deep and interesting. Is Haldir still concerned about how he will survive when Eowyn dies?

Yes, I know I'm supposed to be reviewing Table Manners. It is a great story, but pleeeeeeeease give us more!
