I enjoyed the scene with the Dunlending's female leader, Lothy is such an invaluable asset to Rohan too.

I'm glad they will finally have the "talk".

Author Reply: I think that Eomer too knows she's an asset, just finds it a bit difficult to admit at the moment. And yes, 'the talk' coming up ;-)

I'm so glad Eomer is willing to make peace with the Dunlendings.Poor lothiriel having to put up with his moods.

Author Reply: I couldn't help thinking of the situation of Germany at the end of Word War II and how the Allies managed to turn it from a defeated enemy into a valuable ally. Hopefully the Dunlendings will one day be at peace with the Rohirrim.

I think I'd be a bit afraid of him myself at that moment. Now, to actually begin COMMUNICATING! Love the mixed feelings he's experiencing--so true to life!

And love the agreements being reached by the Dunlending "queen mum" and Lothiriel. Her father has prepared her well for her current position.

Author Reply: Yes, communication is the key between these two, isn't it. But Eomer is determined to have it out this time, so there's hope they'll finally struggle through the thickets of misunderstandings ;-)

Thanks for reviewing!

Well yes, Éomer, I rather think you could be jealous... now try to be calm and talk nicely!

Author Reply: At least he's done the right thing and went outside for fresh air - now let's just hope he can build on that...

ahhh...how could you leave us there! More Lothriel doing what she thought best and getting no credit from her husband and king...can't wait for the next chapter!

Author Reply: Now you're making me feel guilty! But I promise that the next chapter won't be too long. And I think that Eomer does give her credit for what she's done, but he finds it difficult to admit. Men ;-)

Wow, what a cliff-hanger! I`m so waiting for him to finally find some words for his turbulent emotions! And I have the impression that Lothiriel will understand better than he hopes.
I guess I'll just have to reread the story to while away the time to the next update ;-)

Author Reply: Sorry about the cliff-hanger! But at least you know that I'm a reliable updater and perhaps the next chapter will finally have Eomer battle through the smoke and mirrors.

Thanks for reading!
