Black Eyes  by Lialathuveril 3 Review(s)
whitewaveReviewed Chapter: 9 on 6/24/2008
I only just realized the significance of the title and its connection to Lothy's eyes and Eomer's injury. Very clever! Loved the dialogue between them here--it underscores very much that they'd make a good team. The ending scene of the chapter was adorable.

Author Reply: Yes, black eyes all round ;-) And I think they'll make a formidable team - Rohan will never be the same again.

Oh, Eomer needs Lothiriel so badly! She is clearly highly skilled in all the elements of managing a fief that he isn't. He can focus on the day to day management and leave the logistics to her!!

(I just hope Elphir's wife is half as talented - or Dol Amroth will fall apart in her absence.)

And so good for Eomer to learn before their next meeting just how good at this she is! He will have time to adjust to - and welcome - not only well-read, beautiful, desirable, well-dowered but competent.

I'm glad to see that he hasn't lost the audacity that makes him such a successful warrior - we wouldn't want to let Lothiriel have it all her own way! I think Eomer's tactics have ensured that Lothiriel will be awaiting the spring visit to Minas Tirith with considerable eagerness.

Lovely chapter. Delightful Eomer / Lothiriel interaction. And just an Epilogue? That's just unfair ... Unless it means you are already well under way with your next story. That I might accept as an excuse!

Author Reply: Hello Bodkin,
Yes, I'm sure she'll have Rohan and the Rohirrim organised in no time. They probably won't know what's hit them! She might not be all that well-dowered anymore, though, not if she spends all her father's monies on credit for Eomer. On the other hand Imrahil might not notice until she's gone ;-)

Lothiriel might know all the theory of warfare, but you can see that Eomer has considerably more practice. Now she just has to sort out that dress for the celebrations in Minas Tirith. Let's hope she doesn't delegate that part to Auntie Ivriniel...

Yes, there's only one more chapter to go. However, you did guess right that I'm already into the next story - it's scenario number three, but I haven't started writing yet, I'm still thinking about the plot. But first I'm off on holiday so you'll have to wait until aproximately September.

So am I excused?

finally!!!! sorry, had to get that off of my chest - not a big fan of romance, but, this is a good one! I knew that she had a few plans to help the people of Rohan, the girl is just brilliant. I love this story....

Author Reply: Hello Vampfan,
I know I took my time getting there, but then I believe a bit of suspense is good for my readers. You've been very patient with me and after all in Eomer's world only 24 hours have passed.

Well, it's nearly over now, just an epilogue to follow next week.
