This makes me smile every time I read it. I haven't read much about Eomer abd Lothiriel, but I imagine they had a very happy life togther. I love the phrase "grey-eyed sea-queen". You have such a way with words!

Author Reply: Thank you- your kind words truly brightened my day. I really love these two. A long, happy angst-free life together - uninteresting for Tolkien to write, but providing great opporunities for happy tales for us to weave!

I liked "gather laughing in the stableyard to wet the baby's head;" it sounds as if it that is a Rohirric custom. Loved the phrase "grey-eyed sea-queen." Great drabble about cheerfully uncomplicated Eomer!

Author Reply: If it wasn't, it should be! I love thinking and writing about that joyful couple, and posting this happy story was a nice counterbalance to angsty, angry Denethor. Many thanks for your kind words!

Ah, am proud of Eomer, and that the first message goes to his beloved sister! YES!

Author Reply: I'm glad you enjoyed this! There's so much joy in Eomer and Lothiriel's story, I love being able to participate in it.
