| It's great how you can squeeze as many jokes and romantic lines and still manage to keep the reader's attention. This chapter is no different from the others in this aspect. Eomer's epithet for himself "wife slayer" had me giggling, also his description of the sea "a lot of water" and how he compares it to woman. This is the first time I've heard of Rohan described as a "sea" and I can appreciate the parallels. The whole scene in the woods gave me "romantic" goosebumps, wish I was Lothy! I always like it when you trap them into a "compromising" situation. Author Reply: Yes, the 'wife slayer' will of course come up again, it's too good not to reuse it! And I have this picture of the plains of Rohan covered in long grass that moves in the wind like waves across the sea - it comes up again in 'Yours to Command'. But I'm not sure if Lothiriel will consider being jumped by Eomer very romantic! Although the pull between them is definitely there. Lia | |

| I just thought I'd drop you a note to tell you how much I'm enjoying reading this fic. I found it yesterday, and just got through with the last chapter. Your characterizations are strong and truthful, and I like how you are portraying Lothiriel. The only thing I would correct is her use of the word "okay": it's far too modern for Middle Earth, I think. :) I'm looking forward to more and will definitely be watching this fic. Thanks! Author Reply: Funny enough somebody else on this site pointed out that the word 'okay' is too modern sounding for Tolkien's world, so you shouldn't find it in the last couple of chapters. I haven't gotten round to eliminating it in the first few chapters, but I intend to do so sometime soon. Thanks for letting me know, though, and thank you for your review. Glad to hear you enjoy my story! Regards, Lia | |

| A very nice chapter. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Somehow I expected the Bad Guys to ambush them while Eomer slept. The turn of events in which Lothiriel surprised him in his sleep was unexpected, yet very satisfying. I like the slow build up of their relationship, rather than a "love at first sight" scenario. | |

| These two are true equals - which augurs well for the future. I suspect the grass in the hair offers a slightly different interpretation of what happened as they rode together, though! A horse trained to protect you as you sleep could prove very useful - and Nightwind might well end up more than earning her keep. Dangerous times, after all, even if they are slightly less dangerous than they used to be. Good story. I'm looking forward to more! Author Reply: Thanks for your review. I can't help it if Éowyn jumps to conclusions...and yes, Nightwind might come in useful one day. Regards, Lialathuveril | |
