Day 334: Snap!
Mar. 15th, 2008 09:48 pmI was asking ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sgafan some horsey questions that came up when I was writing some of the drabbles I'm doing for elena_tiriel's birthday, and she was telling me about how she used to snap horseflies with towels to stun them so she could step on them. And then she said I dare you to write a drabble with Eomer snapping rags to kill horseflies.
*g*
Snap!
Under a cloudless sky, the cousins watered their horses. Éomer, stripping off his sweat-drenched tunic, stooped and wet his neckerchief in the slow-flowing water.
Firefoot stamped and flicked an ear as a horsefly weaved drunkenly from amongst the reeds and settled on his neck. Quick as a flash, Éomer twisted the scarf and snapped it out. Stunned, the winged pest fell into the water, struggled and drowned.
A moment later, Éomer felt a gentle slap across his own shoulders. Turning in protest, he saw Théodred stepping on a fly he had flicked in like fashion from Éomer’s naked back.
