Their reunion scene was so romantic, I'm very curious about how you will portray the Dunlendings.

Author Reply: Thank you! I feel rather sorry for the Dunlending women and especially children, losing all the men.

Poor Lothiriel. What a temper Eomer has! A gripping chapter.

Author Reply: Thanks! Of course Eomer has his reasons for not trusting the Dunlendings, but sometimes you have to take a leap of faith.

Hi,
I'm enjoying your latest story very much - quite the different and highly entertaining take on their story!
I rather like the twist with the Dunlendings, and I'm looking forward to some more stumbling around and beating the bushes before both will (hopefully?) find the courage to talk about their feeligs!


Author Reply: Hi Tinara,
thank you! It's quite different from my other scenarios, isn't it - usually I end with their getting married and here that's the starting point.

And I have hopes that Eomer might in the near future finally dare to speak the truth. He's a brave man after all ;-)

Well he is, sort of, getting there! She has certainly learnt how to at least make him pause in his headlong ride into situations.

I wonder if it is the Dunlendings camp that Dordes is talking about when she says her mistress only acted with the very best intentions - or whether there is something else he has yet to learn of, as well...

Author Reply: Well, maybe she's also got a slight tendency to ride headlong into situations, so in a way they're evenly matched! And yes, Dordes was worried about the Dunlendings. As I see it, not everybody in Edoras would necessarily agree with Lothiriel's decision.

She is right, and I'm glad he did capitulate after all. Too bad about his kahva going cold though--I do that with my cocoa fairly regularly, and it's not necessarily as good once it's been reheated.

Author Reply: Maybe Dordes will take pity on him and brew a fresh cup, hoping it might put him in a better mood! She seems a bit less sanguine about the whole Dunlending business than her mistress.

Just love the way she manipulates him!

Author Reply: I'm not sure she's doing it consciously, but she's certainly getting her way ;-)
