| Appreciate how he comes to her rescue even in the most mundane things. Author Reply: Yes, she's already gained a champion in him here, yet somebody who will not overprotect her either. | |

| Hmmm... I am sure Lothiriel would be capable of managing her life much better if her family wouldn't care so VERY much for her comfort. And the "wine-incident" was delightful. I like the idea of Éomer trying to help her as inconspicously as possible... even if his sleeve was soaked in wine afterwards. *smiles* *hurries to read the next chapter* Mona Author Reply: They are a bit overprotective, aren't they. Eomer already seems to have a much better idea of how to help her - even if he messed up at first. | |

| Uh-oh. That last line has the ring of a set-up--you know, like "What else could possibly happen?" or "Wait for me". On to the next chapter to find out... Author Reply: Well, you know me and my ominous hints, don't you! | |

| this story is absolutely enchanting. I love you style, you write Lothiriel so that it is very easy to understand her annoyances and moods adn where they come from. Thank yo for thaking the time to write such a wonderful piece. Author Reply: Hello Galimeril, Glad to hear you like it. I enjoy getting inside my character's thoughts and moods - I think it's what makes a story interesting. Lia | |

| Annarima is a cold fish! I'm surprised Alphros has turned out so well. I love the way - inevitable, I suppose - that Lothiriel adds colour and personality to the voices of those round her. And that she is getting to know Eomer without any idea of what he looks like! His attitude towards her is rather interesting, too - protective and intrigued. But he'd better not get too pitying or it won't be Imrahil who slaps him down! (And Lothiriel is still a matrimonial prize, really, whatever her family might think. After all - she has rank and status and you don't need sight to perform the most important task of a noble bride, the production of the heir and spare.) I'm looking forward to Lothiriel continuing to behave in a way that is certainly not according to the Belecthor's rules. I think she'll get on well with Eowyn - who is also rather unconventional. Author Reply: Hello Bodkin, It will be quite a while until Lothiriel gets any idea of what Eomer looks like - but he's got a nice voice. I agree that some will still consider her a matrimonial prize, but she certainly doesn't fit the bill as far as Eomer is concerned. Still, who knows, he might yet change his mind. And yes, she should get along with Eowyn - but of course the evening's not over yet... Lia | |

| Ah, yes, the overhelpful relatives moving things and not saying so. My husband would get so frustrated when someone did that to him. But she's a game one, and outspoken. And I'm pleased she will one day be Queen of Rohan. Author Reply: Hello Larner, What a strange coincidence that your husband should be blind - and if I understand correctly you work with blind people as well? Yes, Lothiriel is very game and before the end of the tale Eomer will realize that as well. That will be a while yet, though... Lia | |

| Oh, poor Lothiriel! It seems her father's over protectiveness only serves to stifle and embarrass her.... and that sister-in-law should be gagged! I'm enjoying Lothiriel's POV, as there really is no "view", I can imagine sitting in her place and relying soley on what she smells, hears, and feels. I would think she'd prefer her lack of sight to be viewed as a challenge rather than a weakness, but her first challenge seems to be overcoming other's treatment of her. I really look forward to Eomer's POV now. I can't wait to see how this story progresses and am thoroughly enjoying it so far! Author Reply: Hello Deiliah, You are right to say that Lothiriel's handicap is not so much her blindness as such, but rather the way it is viewed by those around her, primarily her family. I found it a bit of a challenge to write from Lothiriel's point of 'view' - you constantly have to remind yourself of how the world would seem to her - so I'm pleased to hear you're enjoying this story.
