| Oh, this story certainly starts off with a bang! I like the first person narratative, which can sometimes be a bit awkward, but you handle it really well. "And they were not even my own people. Dirhael looked at me, a question in his eyes. I shook myself. They were people." Excellent! Author Reply: Hello Virtuella, I'm finally getting round to replying to your reviews, sorry about the delay! You commented about the first person narrative. This is actually the first time I'm trying it out in a longer story. Although I didn't consciously choose to do so, instead Lothiriel insisted on telling her story herself. As I mentioned before, my characters have a mind of their own! But I've found it's worthwhile to give in to them. Lia | |

| Ooookay... this is my second or third attempt to get to this tale (after I enjoyed your other Éomer/Lothiriel-romances so much, as you well know). And this time I'll actually read it! *smiles* Wonderful beginning, and I like the fact that she has fine skills as a healer. And of course "your" Éomer is the portrayal I've come to like best - strong, a bit haughty and very, very male.. Hrm. Don't know how much I'll get done tonight, but I'll certainly continue tomorrow! Cúthalion Author Reply: Dear Cuthalion, wow, you've been busy reading and reviewing! I had to laugh at your poor, neglected laundry - I hope you managed to get it ironed in the end ;-) It might take me a while to answer all your reviews (as it happens I've got a load of laundry to do as well, and I am in the middle of making jam) but I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am that you like my story. You are right that all my Eomers are similar in some respects. The main difference is that he's 'only' a Third Marshal at this point, which opens up interesting possibilities! Lia | |

| One thing I don't understand is why Imrahil would send Lothiriel to Rohan in the first place. Dol Amroth would be a far safer stronghold than almost anywhere in Rohan save the Hornburg. Author Reply: Hello ecrm, Lothiriel's father thinks he's sending her away from the threat of Sauron and the Corsairs. He does not know about Saruman at this stage. Also there are other motives involved, as will come out in the next chapters. Lia | |

| Loved the first meeting scene between Lothy and Eomer! This is the first story I've come across where she goes to Rohan and I'm enjoying it immensely. Author Reply: Hello Whitewave, you've been extremely busy with your reviews - thank you very much! This is also the first story for me that's set in the time before the war and I really enjoy having characters like Théoden and Grima appear in them. Lia | |

| Eomer seems to have a talent for antagonising potential allies on first meeting. But I think he's seen beneath surface of the Gondorian princess. Author Reply: Hello Bodkin, He doesn't exactly welcome strangers with open arms, does he. And as we know from the books he hasn't learnt from this encounter either... ;-) Lia | |

| Oh Lia it is so good to see you back. Once again you're taking us there and that's what I truly love about your writing. Can't wait to see where you take us on this journey. Author Reply: Hello Alatriel, Thank you for your kind words! For some reason this story gave me a lot of trouble, so it took me a while to get to the point where I was confident enough to start publishing. But I think I know where the journey is going now, to borrow your words. Lia | |

| A Gripping start to what promises to be an enjoyable and unique story. Author Reply: Hello Linda, Thanks! It opens up new possibilities to have Éomer just Third Marshal and the two not quite as well matched as they are after the war. I hope you'll enjoy it. Lia | |

| I'm so glad that you can write again, after that hiatus of yours! Your Lothiriel is a darling. I like this plot idea and can't wait to find out where you're taking this story. Thanks for writing! Author Reply: Hello Alquawende, yes, I was stuck on this story for a while - I actually started writing it in November - but now I think I can see my way to the end (touch wood!). And I will stay strictly within canon. Thanks for reviewing! Lia | |

| An excellent introduction between the two of them. Good details. Author Reply: Hello Larner, I thought to go for a slightly different scenario than usual and it was fun to borrow from the meeting with the 3 hunters. Thanks for reviewing! Lia | |

| Lovely chapter, full of rich detail that makes me feel like I'm there. Author Reply: Hello Daw, I find that thinking of details and researching them is fun and like you wrote, they add reality to the story. Thanks for reviewing! Lia | |
