Topic 7: Guilty Pleasures --

"...have been spotted on our western borders. I fear that the Dunlendings..."

A short burst of laughter pulls the King's attention away from his sister-son, away from the recitation of reports of hunger, hopelessness and death. The world is changing, and not for the better.

We do share many of the same thoughts, Theoden King. I too long for the simple pleasures of Minas Tirith - its lovely gardens, the music filling the Great Hall, the summer fairs that bring travellers from distant lands. But like you, I know that it will never do to indulge in these thoughts. When every memory of peace feels like we are sacrificing the future of our lands, guilt cannot but lay heavy on our hearts.

Do you ever imagine where your paths might lead were you not so burdened with the responsibilities of the Riddermark?

Minas Tirith sounds like a lovely place. Boromir has told me often of it. When he's not out blowing the horn. *smiles* Xena just the other day said we should journey there.

You and your friend are always welcome in the White City. We can arrange for many horns to be blown upon your arrival, if that would please you.

Horns are fine, I like banquets. Wine, food. I love to sample new cultures. Especially the food.
