Oh, Eomer. Lothiriel is managing you. If you would notice she wouldn't do a good job. Loved Lothiriel handling the old councilor. Amrothos should be careful in what he says to Eomer about Lothiriel. He starts to get protective of her.

Author Reply: Yes, of course she's managing him - and he's enjoying it, really ;-) And I think Amrothos is starting to regret Dol Amroth losing her, at least where his creature comforts are concerned!

I loved the way Lothiriel shone at the council!

Author Reply: Thank you! She's slowly coming into her own.

I was hoping there would be a chapter up today!
I love the tension, and that council meeting is absolutely accurate to how that sort of management can run. Wonderful.
Though I am glad I manage to communicate, in general, more clearly with my partner...despite me being of the 'Gondor' and he of 'Rohan' type!

Author Reply: I've been through my share of meetings too, so that part was from personal experience! And lol about you being the Gondor type and your partner from Rohan.

**she hadn’t been teasing him there, had she?**

I rather think she might have been, Éomer :)

How good that he is enabling her to show her worth to others - Amrothos included!

Author Reply: Poor Eomer, he is a bit clueless sometimes ;-) Also like you said, how he enables her to show her worth - and then the next moment he thinks of her as a 'Gondorian lady'. But that's part of the fun of writing this story - and reading it, I hope.

Ah, but she IS managing him and doing very well indeed! And when is it he'll get it through his head she was enamored of Boromir? Silly man!

Author Reply: And I think, really, that he quite enjoys being managed by her. But you know men and their pride...

Enjoyed Lothiriel's mastery of tact and feminine wiles. Hope they can be more open with each other before Eomer leaves.

Author Reply: Ah, but will they? Their timing is not always the best...

You have no IDEA how excited I am with every new update! Imagine my delight when I went back to re-read my favorite Lothiriel/Eomer stories and discovered you'd begun a NEW one.

However, I hadn't anticipated the horrible suspense that comes with getting immersed in a story as the author is still writing it. The tension in this one is so strong between the two. I know it'll make things so much better once it's all resolved, but it's so painful for poor Eomer.

As with all your other stories, I love your style dearly, and I'm so looking forward to updates! Thank you for continuing to write!

Author Reply: Hi Lionlass,
sorry for the suspense! I'm trying to update more or less regularly, but Real Life often interferes. However, at least you know that I finish all my stories - there's nothing worse than getting hung up on a story in progress, is there!

And thank you so much for your kind words - I'm so pleased to hear that you like to re-read my stories, that's the nicest compliment you can pay an author :-)

Another wonderful chapter! I just love the game you are playing with these two!

Just please write more quickly!!!!

Author Reply: Hi Kath,
thank you, I like playing with them too ;-) As for writing more quickly, I'm doing my best, but unfortunately Real Life keeps intruding!
