Eonwe continued to run towars the village square. He stopped right in the middle of it, panting. There was silence as he entered. "I came as soon as I heard" he said, when he was faced by looks of surprise.
"Nobody told me until I came back from my lumberjack course"
His eyes fell on the poor headless body of Eomer, and that of Nogrod, cloven in two by who knew what.
"And who are you," said someone.
And Eonwe broke into song:
"I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day."
And then Rikae joined in with: "He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day."
Eonwe: I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the nonexistent lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go chopping
And have buttered lembas and miruvor!
Rikae: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the ..what?
On Wednesdays he goes chopping
And has buttered lembas and miruvor.
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day
Eonwe: I cut down trees, I skip and hunt,
I like to press wild symbelmyne.
I put on Melian's girdle,
And hang around in inns.
Rikae: He cuts down trees, he skips and hunts,
He likes to press wild symbelmyne.
He puts on Melian's girdle
And hangs around.... In inns???????
I cut down trees, I jump up high
I am not womanly
I wish I'd been a girlie just my dear Shas-
He ended abruptly, as everyone stared at him strangely. "Thats just what I learned on my "What is a lumberjack, course, I'm sorry" he said defensively. Everyone just nodded in consent, except for a few of the Others. Those of the unknown parentage.
The people continued to have their discussion about werewolves, as they probably had since morning, and by now it was late afternoon.
