The tent scene was very sexy.

Author Reply: Thanks! I wouldn't mind having Eomer in my tent either ;-)

Loved the countless shades of grey scenario you wrote for the Rohirric language. Very funny.

Author Reply: Well, the Eskimo are said to have over a hundred different words for 'snow', so I though the Rohirrim might have the same for grey, since their horses are all that colour. And of course it fits the mood.

Belechtor is probably one of the most memorable names I've read in fanfiction in that I find myself smiling and anticipating fun stuff whenever he is mentioned.

I especially enjoyed Amrothos' participation in this and hope to read more about him in your other stories (?).

Wonder how Eomer convinced Imrahil to agree to the marriage.

Loved the final scene and the way the Rohirrim seal their betrothals, again, wish I was Lothy!

Author Reply: It's true this is where Belecthor made his first appearance. Although I hadn't conceived of his famous treatise yet (that first got mentioned in 'Black Eyes').

And I think this is my favourite chapter of this story, I was chuckling the whole time I wrote it. Especially the dragon bit!

Loved the saucy lines of Lothy here--though they seemed to test Eomer's self-control very sorely. Looking forward to reading how they'll get rid of her other suitors.

Author Reply: This is only the beginning of having his self-control tested ;-) Although the abduction/elopment scenario would have been nice to write, too.

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!

The full moon parallel had me thinking of a theme song for this story. (Oh gosh! I guess it just shows how much hooked I am.) Enjoyed the father-daughter scene of Imrahil and Lothy and the brotherly advice of Aragorn.

Author Reply: A theme song? LOL, you are well and truly hooked!

Loved the wealth of very good and clever lines you wrote for Eowyn here. I especially liked her suggestions to him on what to do, the last one was the funniest of all and I wonder what Lothy's reaction to that will be?

Author Reply: Eowyn's advice is priceless, isn't it. I'm glad he didn't take the second suggestion, though, or the Mark would have been without a king. As for how good at grovelling Eoemer is, well you've seen by now, haven't you!

The parallel with the sirens and Lothy here was very nice indeed. I like how you incorporate legends in your stories as I mentioned in a previous review. That baddie certainly deserved it.

Author Reply: Oh yes, Razmir deserved all he got. And I really like fairytales, also how they differ in different countries, yet have fundamental parallels at the same time.

I liked Faramir's "counting your carrots" line here.

And even if I've read different versions of it, Eomer and Lothy's almost kissing scene here transformed into yet another giggling fangirl.



Author Reply: Rereading this, I was thinking I seem to specialize in 'almost kissing scenes'. There seems to be one in nearly all of my stories - and of course also a 'truly kissing scene' ;-)

Lord Dorlas was very interesting and is worth his weight in gold for the entertainment he provided. If his outfit was "drab", I don't want to see what he thinks of as "dressy".

Author Reply: He's a bit over the top, of course, but since the whole story is not all that serious it was fun to include a character like him. Like you said, he's extremely entertaining.
