The scheme worked admirably, and Eomer had best find Lothiriel quickly. Folk like Dorlas aren't trustworthy, after all.

Your story is very well written. I am really enjoying it! I hope the next chapter isn't too far off. :)

This is such an awesome story. I am always anxiously awaiting new updates. I LOVE it so much! Keep it coming, and quicker! I am an impatient reader! ;)

Ah, Eowyn, playing the matchmaker came back to bite you tonight, but I think it will work out in the long run.

I love your Lothiriel. Her story about fierce brothers and betrothed were brilliant, as was her conversation with Eomer. I can't wait to see Dorlas get his comeuppance.

Looking forward to more!

Author Reply: Thank you for your review and your praise. You won't have to wait too long, just another chapter now.

Well, Eowyn may well end up accomplishing her aim here, but she will have created a ruckus doing it! I am imagining Faramir and Eowyn later in bed, her justifying the means to the end and poor Faramir just shaking his head.

I do look forward to Eomer taking Dorlas down a notch or two.

Author Reply: I must be getting predictable! I was just writing that scene between Éowyn and Faramir when your review came in and had to laugh out loud when I read it.
Love, Lia

Oh dear! Is Dorlas so deep in his cups he's forgotten the "fierce brothers" and the "betrothed", or did someone else let the cat out of the bag that she's not betrothed at all? Idiot! I can't stand jerks that are so oblivious to how other people feel about them.

Eomer was right to ream Eowyn, really. Her plan to make her brother jealous of Lothiriel did work, but it subjected the poor girl to a lot of misery.

I had to giggle at her angry retort about her neck being too long or her feet too big! *snerk* When you think of the compliments often paid to ladies in old songs and ballads literally, they paint a rather apalling picture: skin like snow and cheeks like roses? Pretty dreadful if you *really* think what that would actually look like, LOL!

And I am so glad she liked the dances of the Rohirrim. I'm pretty fond of both courtly and country dances, actually. Pavanes are pretty, stately and intricate, and a nice challenge, while bransles and reels can leave you breathless and laughing.

Great chapter!

Author Reply: Glad you enjoyed this chapter, I rather enjoyed writing it. I even got quite fond of Dorlas, he's so completely oblivious to the effect he's having on Lothiriel and Éomer. I'm not sure in what shape he'll finish the evening, though.

Lord Dorlas is seriously lacking in brain capacity. Lothiriel made her feelings perfectly plain - and he still can't interpret that as keep your hands to yourself? (Unless, of course, he is a kind of reverse Scarlet Pimpernel - pretending to be all soft and slimy while he is really the leader of the nasty brigands.)

It's a shame Eomer got onto his high horse - matchmaking is, after all, what sisters do! He should have been rather impressed to see her behaving in such a feminine fashion.

I do like this version of Eomer and Lothiriel - and the other characters are growing on me, too. Faramir's cynical eye for Eowyn's machinations is amusing - and I am coming to like Melian, who seemed a bit of a wet lettuce at first.

I am looking forward to the next chapter - XIII - unlucky for some?

Author Reply: Definitely unlucky for one of them...
