| Ah--all is once again right with the world! And the marriage is on its way! A marvelous story, and well done indeed. Author Reply: Thank you! And I think I can soon leave them to their own devices so they can find their happy end. They've earned it! | |

| Wheeeeee! *dances around like Lothiriel* Éomer feeling better, his lovely bride keeping him alive by... erh... warming his... erh... blood, Imrahil finally giving in to the inevitable, a shieldmaiden, hard as "boiled leather" (insert a helpless fit of giggles here), and Rohan's finest, making sure that a rosebush doesn't come to any harm. What a delight! Author Reply: That's actually quite a good summary of the chapter - why did it take me over 4000 words to write that ;-) And you're always so wonderfully enthusiastic in your reviews! I hope the muse cooperates and I'll have the epilogue ready for you soon. Lia | |

| *skips around computer desk with happiness* I'm so glad that Imrahil consented!! Poor man, must have been absolutely mortified at Lothiriel's behavior and Eomer's response right after the poisoning. And I'm glad that Eowyn and Faramir came to Minas Tirith, I was wondering when they'd show up again. How much further are you planning on taking the story? All the way to the wedding? Into their married life? I am looking forward to it, even though I'll be away for the next month and half (field work, gathering data in the Rockies!). Such a great story. Author Reply: True, Imrahil held out a long time! But I see him as the kind of person who will stand firmly behind the match, now that he has consented. The wedding is in the next chapter and Eowyn and Faramir will also be there, but then the story is over. There might be a sequel one day, but I really can't promise anything. Have a good time in the Rockies - are you a geologist? - take care, and I hope you'll enjoy the epilogue when you come back! | |

| I'm laughing at the rose bush needing guarding. Ceorl was quick on the uptake. Poor royals. No privacy at all and that's without the paparazzi. Things are finally working out for Eomer and Lothiriel and I'm so glad for them. Author Reply: I have to admit the rosebush is probably my favourite bit in this chapter. I had a vision of them guarding it faithfully and making sure the two do not get interrupted in their...eh...talk. But don't feel sorry for them, they will get their hard-earned time alone together in the final chapter. | |

| Aww, that was such a sweet chapter, Lia.I enjoyed Lothiriel fussing over him and odering Aragorn about--she is bold, but Eomer's welfare is at sake so I'd imagine that she'd order just about anybody to do her bidding if it meant Eomer was comfortable.I laughed when Aragorn emerged from the bathing room with the comb....I thought that Aragorn rather enjoyed being included in Lothiriel's care of Eomer. It was funny to think that the brother 'who sleeps like a log' would be the one to guard Lothiriel's virtue! Lucky for Eomer that he is too weak to do anything but kiss, but Lothiriel knows that she is quite safe with her love...though I don't think Imrahil would be too happy to think of his daughter alone with any man.But, after Eomer risked his life for Lothiriel, Imrahil's objections must be beginning to disappear.Eomer & Lothiriel are made for each other. I love this story and would be quite happy to read a new chapter every single week of the year.I hope there is going to be a wedding? Please? That would be wonderful! Take care and update soon. Ali. Author Reply: Yes, I thought that after sharing the care of Eomer for 3 days she would have lost all her initial awe of Aragorn. I can see her treating him much as she would one of her brothers, including teasing him. And I think that Imrahil must surely see that he's fighting a losing battle here and that the best thing would be to give in gracefully. But we'll see - in the next chapter. Also the exact details of what Lothiriel did to keep Eomer awake... As for reading a chapter every single week of the year, that made me choke on my tea ;-) Please not! I have a list of real life chores that I've pushed ahead of me in favour of writing, so I'm really looking forward to finishing soon. Also I haven't found much time for reading lately, which is a shame as there are so many interesting stories out there. But I promise there will be a wedding and quite soon. Only 2 chapters left now!

| Clever Aragorn--but then he has been to Harad and probably has a feel for the Haradri mindset. And love Lothiriel playing for Eomer. And love the song from Dol Amroth. Author Reply: Yes, I think Aragorn has travelled to Harad in the past, hasn't he, and would probably have read about them as well. I actually had the Rohirric lullaby at the beginning first, but my beta convinced me to write a sea shanty instead, because that's what Eomer hears when he wakes up. | |

| Ah, wonderful chapter! I loved it! Gee, marriage just can't come fast enough, can it? Looking forward to the next! Author Reply: Yes, I think it's high time these two get safely married. Perhaps even Imrahil will finally see this - more of that in the next chapter. And nice to hear from a new reader - thanks for reviewing! | |

| Oh, that's a very sweet chapter!! Perfect. How many more chapters do you have left for the story? I am going out of town in a little over a week and will most likely not have access to the internet for over a month. Author Reply: There are two chapters left to this story now, one in Minas Tirith and then the epilogue. I'm not quite sure if I can keep up publishing each week, though, as work is giving me trouble at the moment. Overtime and creative writing really don't mix! When exactly are you going away? And have you got email access? | |

| *happy, satisfied smile* That's perfect. Lothiriel, singing for an unconscious Éomer, Aragorn, being ordered around and goodheartedly fulfilling the wishes of the Princess and a hero on the mend! Plus that beautiful Rohirric lullaby! So beautiful. Author Reply: Yes, I can see Lothiriel losing her awe of the king of Gondor very quickly once she gets to know him, and of course he wouldn't mind. Pleased to hear you liked the lullaby! | |

| Lovely lullaby. Actually, I like the quotes and bits of Rohirric writing you've been creating all along. And bless you for taking us right to his awakening. These two seem so right for one another. Author Reply: The lullaby is loosely based on a Cossack song I read a translation of a long time ago - I thought it fitting since they're a horse people, too. And although it's not always easy to come up with a quotation fitting a particular chapter, I've really enjoyed playing round with different styles and forms like poems or even a riddle. And the two are made for each other, aren't they! | |
