| Praise the Valar! Help has finally arrived in the form of a ticked-off Shieldmaiden. I agree with her about leaving the bodies of those two horrid would-be murderers to the wolves. However, I'm really nervous about her caring for our Aragorn, particularly after you described her looking at him like "a cat which had captured a stubborn rodent." I feel Aragorn is not in for any kind of tender loving care from her, but at least he will get that from Faramir. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. The part about the cat provides a vital clue,for Eowyn has the man she believed wronged her at her mercy !Faramir, though, will discover just how special Aragorn has become to him. | |

| Yes! Eowyn to the rescue! Though, it has to be said, she is better with a sword than with a healer's kit. The sort of healer that succeeds because no-one in her presence will admit to needing care. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. At present there is still much of the wild Shieldmaiden in Eowyn and I try to develop her in my stories to become gentler. She would certainly in this story have all her patients deciding they were cured after one visit to her ! | |

| "Leave them to the wolves!" indeed! Eowyn is one tough lady; though I can hardly blame her. Good description of the medical care. I can't believe that Eowyn's hands would be consciously so rough on a wounded man; perhaps she's nervous; since she's still relatively new to the healing arts and doesn't work on badly injured men every day, particularly one who's her liege-lord and with whom she's angry. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I think Eowyn is indeed nervous and inexperienced.I try to show her improving as my stories progress. | |

| I am glad to reread this Linda. Having just finished the other one on the other site I am still not sure that I can quite cope with rereading and commenting on that but I will try - still in shock from that one! :) But looking forward to the follow up from it. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. It is good to hear from you. I admit I found my other story somewhat gruelling to write.I promise my sequel will be easier going for my poor readers! | |
