ROFLMAO!!!!!!! You are do dang FUNNY!!!! MysteriousWays P.S. Can Eowyn just beat the crap out of Eomer and Faramir? I think it would resolve things nicely. Author Reply: hehe, I wish she would, sometimes. :D Solve a lot, huh?

Wow! that was great! Keep Writing! What did the Puppy do to Arwen, What happens to Faramir in the eodred?

Well, my brother left, so I can actually use my computer again to write more. :) I liked the entire scene with the puppies, and the slightly unsettling effect Aragorn's comment about the King of Rohan making a "fine husband" had on Eomer. I can't wait until you write a Eomer/Lothiriel fic. With all the trouble Eomer is putting Faramir through concerning Eowyn (Mostly justified by me, of course), It makes me wonder how Faramir is going to repay him when Eomer becomes interested in the Steward's cousin. But then, knowing Faramir, he may actually introduce the two of them. The entire "horseballs" thing just made me cringe, no matter how maturely I tried to handle it. That sort of thing has an unnerving effect on men the likes of which you would not believe. Arwen interested in muscular men? Makes sense. After all, she's been around slenderly built elves her entire life, while Eowyn has hung around the stockiest denizens of Middle Earth next to Dwarves. I guess it's only natural the two would be attracted to men unlike those they've grown accustomed to being around. Can't wait to see what happened "the night before." I have a feeling it's all going to be rather hilarious. Btw, I never recieved a reply to my last review that I e-mailed you. I hope it isn't because of something I said or didn't do, though I admit I've been regretfully uncommunicative lately. I hope we are still on friendly terms, because I love your writing very much. Anyway, I hope your trip went smoothly, and you find time to write more with the school year starting. Author Reply: I'm pretty enthusiastic about the Eomer/Lothiriel angle. I'm not sure what Faramir's going to do...hehe. He might get in a little payback, some goodnatured stuff. (actually I'm picturing him starting in and Eomer laughing himself sick, then walking off--no way he's doing that, lol) Sorry about not replying-the email screwed up and then I went on my trip...so... yeah. Anyway, I've got a mungo chapter I'm updating on Monday **Confirmed, no fake-out, lol. It's plenty long enough right now but I'm not where I want to end it. It's a good one. Sad, steamy, some funny. No Gaer and not much Eomer, but they're in the next a lot as Faramir finally gets his little Numenorean ass out of Dodge. LOL. :)

Yes, I am back at SoA. Fate is strange, is it not? Another excellent chapter! I can't wait to see the Eomer/Faramir bonding scene you mentioned in your review replies. Loved Gaer as always. I find him to be, quite basically, the embodiment of everything I love and admire about the Rohirrim. Don't have any more time to review now, even though I have a million more things to say. :( I can't wait until the next update.

In reference to your last comment to me about Eomer. "Happy?" Yes and thank you. I do love our Eomer don't get me wrong and I have faith in you and in your story that everything will work out more than OK. I can't wait to see the big lug in love himself. Hopefully in a future fic? Glad you are still excited about the story. LOTW Author Reply: Big lug,lol, Eomer is a big lug,isn't he? Actually, Lothiriel comes in late, but she's in this story. As for Eomer falling head over heels the minute he sees her, I dont know. I'm thinking he's going to be "Hi, aren't you cute" not "Wowza!!!" and do the cartoon coyote-howling thing. As for a future fic continuing and following the Eomer/Lothiriel? I don't know. I'm interested, but not sure.

My reply to your "wussy" comment: Cut me some slack! I was eating sushi, damn it. I don't think I'll ever be able to eat salmon sashimi again. And does Faramir REALLY have to eat horseballs? Can you at least give me a warning at the start of that chapter? And what about my drudge horses question? Did you make them up or are there really such things? Author Reply: Eww, sushi? Hehe, Faramir might or might not,I don't know. Gelding would be done in autumn for sake of the horses--less heat, less flies, etc. Sooooo, he's right there. :D LOL, but I don't know if he'll have to. I'll lead up to it if I do, I won't just open with him gagging them down. But, probably not. He'll prove himself in another way. The drudge horse thing is mine, I have no idea about Middle-Earth, but it is a reasonable thing to expect Rohan has a lot of trained horses that 1. Aren't owned--I expect horses outnumber the people of Rohan since mares can and do get in foal every year and there are probably wild ones, too, in the hills. (just think about the overpopulation of mustangs) With all that grass it's a regular horse bonanza. 2. Aren't being used all the time. Horses get burnout quickly and I'm sure they work hard in the Ridder-mark, so they probably have a big rotation program. Anyway, that's what Thorn is.

Woo-wee! What a great pair of chapters that was! Sorry I didn't review them sooner. I know I promised you a long review. I always make good on my promises -- just a little late sometimes. I've been busy doing some research trying to track down one of the four existing copies of an 18th century English translation of a 17th century French memoir (two copies in London, one in Washington, DC and one in Berkeley, CA -- I know, the Berkeley part seems odd, but I guess everything makes its way to Berkeley eventually and, just like old hippies, never leaves). I've discovered the limits of digital research. Sometimes you really do have to hunt down dusty old forgotten books that no one will ever make available online. But I mention all of this because I think you might be interested to know that the memoir in question records the history of a 17th century French woman of renown who among other more impressive accomplishments was an incredibly successful manager of her husband's large estates -- overseeing tenant farmers, factory mills, a castle, a garrison and all! In fact it was rather common at the time for noble ladies to run things while their husbands were away every spring and summer at court or war. And since winter obviously doesn't involve much farming, the ladies pretty much ran the estates. Basic arithmetic and bookkeeping were essential to their education. So Eomer's suggestion that Eowyn manage Faramir's estates has quite a few "real life" precedents. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start off with the things I loved about Chapter 56 and them some thoughts on Chapter 56 and so forth for Chapter 57. Things I loved about Chapter 56: * A weary Faramir shuffling into Eowyn's room hunched over like Quasi Modo asking, "What do you want me to say?" I'm still laughing at that. That is EXACTLY what a guy in his situation at that particular moment would ask. He's not even dancing around the issue. He's thinking, "What do I have to say in order to go to sleep in peace? I don't care. Just tell me. I'll say it." Too funny. * I liked Eowyn's song and her dream. Very nice. * I liked Eowyn's reaction the next morning as Faramir is leaving. I liked how you transitioned her "better hurry" banter into the somber mood that comes over her when his "moment of grace is up." You described the tension very nicely. At first she just watches him silently and then lowers her head and doesn't even look up as he leaves despite his jest. The situation is too serious and painful for her to laugh it off. Nicely done. * I liked Gaer. Loved his gelding knife comment. Also loved his impertinent wink, and Faramir's eventual "Who are you?" Gaer seems like the kind of guy who's just not intimidated by royalty. Gotta love that. When Faramir noticed that Gaer had none of the scorn or distaste for him that the other Rohirrim had, it occurred to me that Eomer's reaction to Faramir might have been like Gaer's if Eowyn wasn't in the picture. * I'm intrigued by Gaer's salt reference. Can't wait to find out what that means. I also liked Faramir's reaction to the bullying he encountered and his reasoning that battle is the last resort. He reminds me of the main character in a now classic science fiction novel titled "Ender's Game" (they've been threatening to make it into a movie for years.) The main character, Ender, is not unlike Faramir in sensitivity, but he realizes very young that he must beat up a bully decisively (i.e. to a bloody pulp) or the bully will never leave him alone. That's a sad, but very important lesson. * I absolutely loved Gaer's aside to Faramir, "No wonder we have to ride all the way to Mundburg and rescue you all the time, come on, there are things to do. We don't get to loll about in the southern sun here." LOL! GREAT!! * I loved this: "There are the bows and the arrows...And there are the targets. You show them how to bring them all together." * Loved the banter between Eowyn, Aragorn, and Arwen during the sword fight. Also loved how Eomer "frowning a little" asks Aragorn a little shyly "Can I hold him?" LOL! Like two boys -- "I'll let you play with my toys if you let me play with yours?" * I have a special fondness for Shadowfax. I laughed at Eowyn's comment that it wasn't particularly dignified of the Lord of All Horses to allow himself to be bribed with treats. I love it. I don't know why that makes me laugh. It just does. * I'm intrigued by Arwen's comment that "the whole" of whatever is troubling her would hurt Aragorn. Do tell. The only comment I have on Chapter 56 is re: Eomer's talk with Eowyn about Faramir's gift. I really loved that scene. I found Eomer's reaction to Eowyn's admission that she "likes" sharing her thoughts with Faramir very revealing. I thought to myself, Eomer's never really been in love. Although he's the older and supposedly more experienced sibling, he is very immature when it comes to matters of the heart. To love is to yield control of yourself and in turn to receive and except your beloved. Faramir and Eowyn are willing and happy to do this with each other. Eomer doesn't understand this and really will not until he too finds someone to marry and love and mutually give and receive from. Of course, this is just my take on it. If this was not your intention, please ignore it. Alright, now on to Chapter 57. Things I loved: * Eomer's thoughts after holding Aragorn's sword. "Things have become odd here...men who read thoughts, swords that sing only for their masters ears…What is the Ridder-mark host to?" The sword swap was a great plot device to allow us to see again Eomer's unease with these things he can't control or understand. * I'm glad you had one of the boys translate for Faramir. I was wondering why he didn't ask one of them to do that in the last chapter, so I was happy to see that he (and you) realized the same thing. * I liked Eowyn's thoughts about how Faramir won her heart -- stalking her like a shy animal. * Loved the horse Eomer assigned Faramir and loved how you introduced said horse! "From inside the corral came the restless thuds of hooves....'What kind of horse have they brought me?'" LOL! And "Drudge horse"? Is there really such a thing as a Drudge horse? Does Matt know about this? "He knows how to do everything from charging into battle to plowing a field" and runs a political gossip website too! Just kidding. * I like Faramir's thoughts and memories while looking at himself in the mirror in his Eorlingas garb. Loved the flashback to his father. Also loved his thought, "What would Eowyn think of me in this?" and the unspoken fear that she'll think he looks ridiculous too. * Okay, I've got to say this. The horseballs conversation literally made me gag. I was eating my lunch as I read that. Big mistake. * Loved this: "There was a flicker in the Brandybuck’s eyes. 'Nothing changes in the Shire.'" Nice foreshadowing. And a nice way of keeping the drama in this particular dramedy of yours. If you can make 'em laugh and cry at the same time, you know you're good! * Also liked this: "Anxious to restore her happy mood, [Eowyn] picked up her mug, forcing a wide smile. 'I can’t wait, either.' ARWEN'S EYES NARROWED SLIGHTLY. Éowyn drank quickly, swallowing the sharp ale." (EMPHASIS MINE). So Arwen, like her grandmother, can read minds. Nice and subtle. I liked it. * In the reprise of Eomer/Aragorn/Faramir's discussion, I laughed at Faramir's thoughts, "Now leave me alone. He's the one with the problems." Ha! Just like couples therapy. * Okay, I have a question. Arwen (no doubt half drunk) says that Rangers have good memories and that they learn by repetition. Eowyn asks, "What are you talking about?" What the hell is she talking about? Am I being thick here? What am I missing? * Loved Faramir's dream. Always do. * Loved the cliff hanger ending. Eowyn that naughty girl. She seems to have a bad habit of getting piss drunk and blacking out. Ten bucks says she pounded on Faramir's door and demanded to see "distinguishing characteristics" -- to borrow a euphemism from the Starr Report. Boy, those Rohirrim girls know how to party. Alright now for thoughts, comments, and other questions concerning Chapter 57: * Arwen. Ah Arwen. Your Arwen is a little different. I like her. Like your Aragorn, she bears almost no resemblance to Tolkien's Arwen. But that's alright because your Arwen is charming. I enjoyed her story about how she "really" met Aragorn. Very funny. But did she fall in love with him at that first meeting? Or at their second meeting? Now ignore ALL of this if it's not how you want to portray Arwen and Aragorn. But here are my thoughts. In their Appendix story, Tolkien's Arwen, like yours, is just -- for lack of a better word -- "amused" with Aragorn at their first meeting, just as an adult is amused by a five year old. It's her second meeting with him in Lothlorien that makes her fall in love with him. He finds himself there after traveling in the wild. He's older, grayer, tired, and weighed down by his responsibilities and the limited time he has to fulfill them all. She, on the other hand, is weighed down by eternity. Tolkien writes that she "was little changed, for the mortal years had passed her by; yet her face was more grave, and her laughter now seldom was heard." She's a paradox really. She is weary of immortality and yet later she realizes how bitter mortality is. I think one of the most profound passages in LOTR is the conversation between Arwen and the dying Aragorn. She says to him: "Not until now have I understood the tale of your people and their fall. As wicked fools I scorned them, but I pity them at last. For if this is indeed, as the Eldar say, the gift of the One to Men, it is bitter to receive." Augustine, Aquinas, de Sales, and every one of my old Jesuit philosophy professors would have a field day unraveling all the metaphysical implications in that statement. Notice that the only people who refer to death as "the Gift of Men" are the immortals. Those who are tasked to live till the world's end are envious of those who are only given a brief span of years to make their mark, and vice versa (as was illustrated in the Numenoreans' doomed attempt to sail to the Undying Lands in order to gain immortality too). The implications of these dual desires for Aragorn and Arwen's relationship are manifest. He was weighed down by time because he had only a limited number of years to accomplish his destiny and with such a limitation comes fear and anxiety that you'll never make it in time. Arwen helped lighten that burden by believing in him. She on the other hand was weighed down by the fear that nothing will change and therefore nothing has meaning. Decisions and actions lose their significance (or consequences) when there is an unlimited amount of time to reverse them or compensate for them or duplicate them a million times over. Immortality takes away the urgency that comes with finite decision making. Arwen wanted to be a part of that urgency and yet she was reluctant to accept the final consequence -- the final boundary -- which is death. In Chapter 57, Eowyn alludes to the greater sadness in Arwen's story. I'm not sure if any of what I've written applies to what you have in mind. If it does, great. If it doesn't, skip it. * Like Lady of the Woods, I also found your descriptions of fires in Rohan eerily reminiscent. I live in Southern California, and last year we had massive fires around LA and San Diego counties. I remember driving at night down the Pacific Coast Highway south from Santa Barbara and seeing what I thought at first was snow flakes falling on my car. Then I realized it was ashes from all the forests and houses burning! I had to put my windshield wipers on to clear them -- that's how thick it was. The air was grey-black. Scary stuff. Lady of the Woods also asked whether Faramir knew about how his father died. I always assumed he did. But boy that would change everything if he didn't. I'm intrigued... I'm also wondering if Eomer knows about Denethor's death. He doesn't, does he? Because if he does and if he was mentioning fire deliberately to provoke Faramir, then he is unforgivably cruel. In the words of Tennessee Williams' Blanch Dubois, "deliberate cruelty is not forgivable." * I'm surprised that Faramir isn't more angry at Eomer. At one point you have Faramir think, "To him she is not mine at all, she is his little sister…who he loves wholeheartedly and who I am stealing." Then you describe Faramir as being weary with guilt. I'm thinking, why the hell isn't he mad as hell! Not only mad for himself, but for Eowyn. Eomer is acting as if he owns her. Then again, perhaps Faramir isn't mad yet because he is a passive-aggressive sort. At some point soon he'll explode and then sand-bag everyone around him with all his pent-up anger. Have you seen "The Quiet Man" yet? 'Nuff said. * Speaking of explosions of anger... I think all of us want to see Faramir kick some ass. I'm wondering what you will use to finally set him off. I might be wrong, but I don't think it would be an insult to him personally. He's used to that. I mean what could be more humiliating and insulting than having your father say you look ridiculous in your first uniform? However, if someone were to insult a person that Faramir's loved, I bet Faramir would beat the living be-jeesus out of that someone. Would it take an insult to Eowyn for Faramir to respond that way? It's unlikely that the Rohirrim would insult their lady, but what if one of them made a crude sexual comment about her. What if someone made a "locker room" boast about her? I don't know. Just a thought. * I'm willing to wager that the conversation with Aragorn/Eomer/Faramir was the reason why it took you so long to post this chapter. It was a difficult obligatory scene. Obligatory meaning that you were obligated to write it but challenged to do so without rendering it cliché or boring. Never fear. You did a great job with it. I liked how Faramir learned to counter Eomer's mind games. I also must say that you've mastered the art of "entering late and leaving early." That's a screenwriting trick. Enter the scene late -- cutting right to the purpose -- and leaving early without getting bogged down by unnecessary details. For a perfect example of this, watch any Law & Order episode. They cut right to scenes mid-conversation and exit mid-conversation. As the lines between film and popular fiction fade, this is employed more frequently in novels and short stories. You do a good job of employing it in your chapters. All in all, GREAT WORK! Continue and don't wait a month to update, or else I'll lead all your readers in a peasant's revolt. We'll storm the castle with torches and pitch forks. I mean it! Author Reply: OOOkay. First things first, I have to apologize for the month--I tried, and TRIED to update before I went to Ca to visit my parents, but alas, I couldn't and then the chapter itself was going so slowly and I had so much catching up to do that...well, a month. Sorry. I haven't lost interest!!! Never fear!! The next chapter is going so quick I might MIGHT be able to update in less than a week. :) Okay, hehe, my fav part. I love Gaer, too. He's going to be around for a long time, so I'm glad everyone else likes him. Gaer's reaction is simple if you think about it--he met Faramir way back when in Gondor and first knew him as a drunkard, laughing and getting lost in his own city. Remember Gaer's incredulous laughter when Halorl dropped the bomb about Faramir marrying Eowyn? This guy is here to help, now. He's a good guy and I do think you're right--Eomer would have been far, far more relaxed if Eowyn was his cousin or not even present. As it is, he's just being fearful. Hehe, I loved it when Aragorn and Eomer traded swords, too, in both chapters. At first it was cute, then it showed something. :D Still, cute, though. Author Reply: Dammit, hit the wrong button. :P Not my day, I can feel it. Anyhoo-- Arwen will spill the beans, hopefully soon. Faramir will kick ass, again, hopefully soon--though the Rohirrim have a few more tricks. :) Again, nothing too bad, no more of the insults, this is actually a common one AND one meant to sort of welcome him into the fold. There are four types of Rohirrim: Gaer's group (small, lol), the group that doesn't care, the group that makes goodnatured fun at Faramir(i.e., the water, the ride to Rohan) and the group that has a chip on their shoulder. These guys will be partially explained. I say partially because it's not really Faramir's business. Anyway, you wait for that, I'll give it to you. :) Yeah, Arwen's got some ability to read minds. She's not stupid, anyway. It wasn't like Eowyn was being very subtle. Hehe, her comment about repetition is sexual--more on that later. Good-natured making fun of Aragorn's prowess. LOL! Speaking of sexual, there will be Faramir's memory of "the night that will never be forgotten". No, they didn't have sex. In fact, it was pretty tame. After all, she was DRUNK. Do you think our sweet Prince would take advantage? No! So? What happened? It's coming. And some more steaminess to hold you until Faramir returns from his ride. Hehe, horseballs made you gag? Wussy. I've watched castration and it's not that bad--the worst is the SOUND as they get these big nipper things and crunch through whatever is in there to get those balls free and out. Yetch!! THAT made me gag and I had to hold the pony's leg up so the vet could see!! Ah, to live on a horse farm. BTW, I've never eaten horseballs and I don't plan to. :) However, I did think the horseball-eating thing would be an appropriate rite of passage in Rohan. Who knows, Faramir might have to do it. :D yetch!!! OH,no. Eomer is not that cruel, that's beyond him. Eomer doesn't know the paticulars about Denethor's death. I think few would--it would be a better, kinder thing if his demise was airbrushed, you could say, and his memory would be one of a good, Steward just brutally mindraped by Sauron rather than being crazy as a loon and trying to burn beloved Captain Faramir alive. (Captain Faramir, stardate... Ha! gets me every time) As to Faramir knowing the paticulars--I don't think so. I mean, yeah, he knows he wasn't the favorite child, but STILL. "Faramir, you're father tried to burn you alive even when we could have saved your life through some very simple bandaging and Aragorn-ing." Yeow. I'm going with they told him Denethor was driven mad and killed himself in the Houses of the Dead. I don't think Faramir would have been up to visiting his father's corpse yet, he could barely stand entering his study. But he has to make peace, so one day, yes. Okay, I'm down to it. FAramir will kick ass and RIGHTEOUSLY! Hehe, totally knock their socks off. It won't be Eomer, though. Lol, it'll be Rohirrim #3. A nameless guy that pushes the Prince too far. I mean, what do you think would trigger that? Not Eowyn because the Rohirrim would hardly be suicidal to insinuate anything in Eomer's presence (yes, he will witness and be impressed). So...hehe, I've hinted. :D I can't wait to write it. Oh, the fires? Well, that becomes relevant later and in a good way because it rockets Eomer and Faramir's relationship into something very near to friendship. :D Don't worry!! Still very interested in the story!! (as you can tell) :D

I really enjoy your story. I love the interaction between Faramir and Eowyn, and I hope that if they did do stuff/it that you would please give us a flash back. I want to learn more about the Arwen deal, it is very interesting to hear her speak. I really enjoyed the conversation she had with Eowyn, and I would love to see her and Eowyn talk about their men ;) Please update soon and please keep on going until the end. It would be tragic if you stop now when it is getting good. Author Reply: Yeah, there's a Faramir/Eowyn flashback/memory scene or three. Hehe, they didn't do "it" but well, you'll find out. :D There's almost immediately more Arwen/Eowyn bonding. Dont' worry, the month was purely because I had a trip and all sorts of horrible things to do. Sorry! LOL, I was worried I would update and no one would read!!

Lady of the Wood	Reviewed Chapter: 57 on 8/22/2004
Did they do it?! If they did I sure hope we get a flash back. Don't deny us the good stuff. Or did Eowyn go into his room asking for a look at Faramir naked? Either way... :) I'm glad you updated. I was beginning to get concerned. Every now and then I'll read a WIP and the author will lose interest and I never get to read the end. Here's hoping you keep enjoying writing this story! Parts I liked: I enjoyed the tavern scene. It made me think that it should be Eomer taking Faramir to a tavern like Eomer took Aragorn. E and F need to bond in a less formal setting and I'm not sure that Aragorn is the right person to help them get along. I loved Arwen's comments about the Bree women taking a hobbit to bed. Naughty she-elf! My goodness this is a whole new Arwen although considering her considerable age it makes sense that she would be very open about such things. I don't usually read Arwen centred stories but I like the things you suggested about her past, in this chapter, and perhaps you might consider writting a story about them after this one is done? I love Faramir's "prequel" dreams. :) It's your way of letting us know that everything is going to be alright. I confess that crack in the mirror is worrying me, I wonder what it portends? I just hope that you don't make things too difficult for our prince and princess. They deserve to be enjoying their engagement especially after all both of them have been through. I'm glad you mentioned the fire referrence and Faramir's anxienty about it. I'm assuming that no one has yet told him about what happened with his father? Where oh where is Gandalf? He needs to spend some serious time with his old pupil. Faramir needs to be told asap. On a side note I live in the western part of Canada and all this summer and last we've been dealing with forest fires because it's been so dry. Eomer's comments brought in a bit of reality. Things that gave me pause: Eomer...I both love and hate him. Part of him reminds me of my brothers who have done exactly what Eomer did when I came in very late. It made me smile. On the other hand I want to shake Eomer and say "Get over it!". He's behaving like a child not a grown man and a king t'boot. I know he'll miss his sister but come on. He should be bending over backwards to get to know his new brother in law. At least take him out and show him the Edoras night life or something. Has he done anything to truly try and get aquainted with Faramir? I don't think so and it is his place to welcome Faramir. On the hospitality scale Eomer is falling far short and the rest of Rohan isn't doing much better. Why are they giving him such a hard time? It doesn't make any sense. Faramir's gift and memories of Dad. As I mentioned before please get the old Wizard into talk to our man. We've read so much about Faramir healing Eowyn I want to see some Faramir healing. For all of Eowyn's fear of missing home she still does have family. Faramir's all alone in the world lest we forget that he lost not only his father but his brother as well in the space of a couple of months. Things I'm looking forward to: Faramir's time with the Rohirrim. I'd just love it if he really bonded with "the boys" and came back all buddy-buddy with them. Eomer would eat his shirt. Faramir having a knock-down drag out fight with Eomer/any big Rohirric man and coming out the winner. Oh please oh please. The sooner the better. Faramir and Eowyn getting on with the steamyness! I've been missing it these last few chapters. Show us the love! :) As always anxiously waiting for more. LOTW Author Reply: LOL the "Did they do it?!" Made me giggle so loud everyone in the library turned around! The answer is no. Faramir wouldn't take advantage of a drunk girl!! Shame on you to think that! Yes, Eomer and Faramir will get their bonding in--they will be riding out together for 2 weeks, after all!! And Faramir WILL kick someone's ass! He's long overdue. As for steaminess--watch out! hehe! I'm throwing something in that may shock and surprise, but what the hell? :) Gandalf resurfaces soon. I wanted to put him in earlier, but Aragorn stole Faramir away. The fires comments are basically foreshadowing. Nothing to do with Denethor, though naturally Faramir's mind goes there. Eomer is just making talk--if you pay attention he's actually DISCUSSING a potential PROBLEM of ROHAN with the cough, cough, ENEMY. it's a wee little bit of comradeship. Small talk. He did, too, seem happy that Faramir enjoyed his work of the day and you'll find out why soon. Eomer, oh, what can i say? He's going to be fine in the end. There. Happy?

It has taken me quite a while to read all of the chapters so far, but I LOVE this story! I am in love with your Eomer, and quite like all the others too. There will be more, right? Author Reply: Oh, yes, quite a bit more, I'm afraid I'll run out of chapter names before the end, lol. Thanks for reviewing! :D
