Loved the part when Eomer pledged to fight for his wife's honor. Hope they get to be more open with each other eventually.

Oh, Eomer. You need to learn to control your temper. Every time he might get Lothiriel to open up, he ruins the moment. But it is fun to watch him floundering. Lothiriel is very clever in securing his men's loyalty. If he ever gets on the wrong side of Lothiriel his men will defend her ;-).

Author Reply: It's fun to write him floundering too ;-) And LOL, that would be an amusing scene if his men took her side against him for annoying her!

Oh well done Lothíriel - and now you have people around you who not only admire you, but are coming to really like you as well.

And Éomer really should ask her who she 'sees' - but I can understand why he doesn't.

Author Reply: Yes, she's settling in nicely in Rohan, isn't she. I have to admit it's fun writing a story about their domestic life as a married couple!

Poor Eomer... he is well and truly besotted - just doesn't know it yet. You don't get scared for someone and can't be jealous of something you if you truly don't care! I would give good money to be a fly on the wall the next time he sees Eowyn - she'll see right through him and tell him so. :-)

I love the way you're writing this - I can totally feel Eomer's frustration and the building tension of the unknowing and growing desire to know; you're doing that so well! I really want to see what's on the inside of Lotheriel too (would love to see something from her POV for this whole time - hint, hint). Poor guy...

Author Reply: Hi Lyana,
sadly Eowyn is too busy in Ithilien at the moment, but they will get a visit from a loving family member sometime in the next few chapters ;-)

As for writing from Lothiriel's POV, I'm afraid I rather like the uncertainty in the reader's mind when we only get Eomer's side of the story (a bit like real life, I suppose, as we never know what people truly think). However, her thoughts and motives should become clearer with time.

Thanks for reviewing!

Oh, but he DOES have the habit of shooting himself in his foot, doesn't he? Heh! She is proving a most intelligent lady and fully suitable to her role as Queen of Rohan. He just needs to get over his jealousy of her lost infatuation.

Author Reply: Yes, he did put his foot in, didn't he ;-D

But of course to get over being jealous, you first have to admit to yourself that you care. And I think Eomer is not quite there yet...
