I must say I like Amrothos the most of all Lothy's brothers and I suspect you do too (I may be wrong). I always have this feeling that I'm in for something very interesting whenever you include him in a chapter. The "Grovel" line was funny and the leading man and the leading lady's proposal scene was exceedingly fair!

Author Reply: Yes, Amrothos is my favourite, too. He usually ends up being a bit of a teaser, though. I suppose that's just my picture of the youngest son, just as Elphir is a bit stiff most of the times.

And you saw what a hash Eomer made of grovelling. Good thing he ditched his sister's advice in the end!

Yeyyyy! This is what all the readers want!
Finally! Oh, so many things to say about this chapter... but I'm suffering from writer's block (at least in English, because all I can think right now is in Spanish =S)
maybe I'm in shock! I wasn't prepared for all this... Amazing!
Excellent story! Is all I have to say...

Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina! Take care,

Author Reply: Hello MPG,
glad you liked the chapter. You must think me a very sadistic writer if you weren't prepared for this. I thought the two had finally earned some romance. Now only Imrahil will have to agree. And I'm still worried about those suitors...

Saludos

Goodness - the Amrothos / Eomer confrontation could have been nasty. I'm glad Amrothos recognised the dragon slayer almost instantly. He's an intelligent man.

Eomer is better at practicalities than diplomacy, though. Once he started kissing, he was onto a winner. Trying to explain himself - well perhaps if he interspersed his words with actions, he would get on better. And at least they both know what they want now! Even if he didn't go down on one knee or provide red roses or any other cliche. (Her other suitors would.) And he brought Nightwind - that makes up for a lot!

Now all they have to do is convince Imrahil. And, even if he wants Lothiriel on his doorstep, it's very hard, in an aristocratic society, for him not to register the fact that his daughter will be a queen. And, even more important to a loving father, that the shine has returned to her eyes and that she is happy.



Author Reply: Hello Bodkin,
one of Eomer's ancestors did actually slay Scatha the dragon, so that's where I got the idea from. It was quick thinking on Amrothos' part, though.

I agree Eomer is better with actions than with words, although he did quite well in the end. He still has to work on his grovelling technique, but at least his kissing is up to scratch.

We'll see Imrahil's reaction in the next chapter. Rohan is very far away...

Ah! I absolutely love this story! Each chapter is eagerly awaited.

And they have finally admitted it and are happy...for now, I suppose. It's good to see it, though. I was waiting for this moment for a long while now!

Author Reply: Hello Merenwen,
how nice to know my chapters are eagerly awaited! You've been very patient waiting for this reunion so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Next we'll see if Imrahil is happy about this development...

“I lied earlier on. I did mean to kiss you that night and I’m not sorry for it. In fact I enjoyed it and what is more I intend to do so again.”

Finally, Eomer says something smart! And he avoided the swan advice. Perfect. He learned his sister is fallible in her methods, but he has to admit the choice is right. :>)

Author Reply: Hello Nilmandra,
it was a narrow miss, but he did avoid the swan advice. That would probably have been the end of him, Lothiriel would have sent him packing no doubt!

Well, that chapter just about turned me to mush!! Wonderfully written with Amorothos' playfulness, Lothiriel's musings on horses and then Eomer's protectiveness when he thought that his love was in danger.I loved it!

Oh, and Eomer did quite well in telling Lothiriel how he felt without comparing her to a swan! They're made for each other.

I can't wait to read the reaction from Lothiriel's family when they realise that Eomer has come to Dol Amroth with only one purpose in mind.

Love this story and I can't wait for more.Update soon!

Author Reply: Hello Ali,
that's what I like to hear, it was meant to turn you into mush! After all you've waited long enough and have been very patient. Glad you liked it.

Eomer seems to have finally caught the hang of how to deal with Lothiriel. We'll see how well he'll fare with the rest of her family in the next chapter.
