*giggles helplessly*

I should have known that this was the romantical ballad about a... horse! Wonderfully done, and Merry Christmas!

yes, the Rohirrim do have their unique outlook on life, don't they ;-) I hope you had a nice and relaxing Christmas as well.

Just delightful! Trust the horses to set an example!

Author Reply: Hello Linda,
as I've said before, Firefoot is an eminently sensible animal!

Bwahahahahaha! What a sly bit of misdirection! As the horse goes, so goes the master... love at first sight!

Another delightful vignette, Lia!

Thank you for the lovely holiday gift. ;-)

Author Reply: Hello Barbara,
it's really just a bit of nonsense, inspired by a discussion of how to stable stallions and mares (not next to each other!). Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

An enjoyable short piece--there seems to be no limit to the possible scenarios for our favorite couple. Firefoot is worth his weight in gold. ;-D BTW, just a little question, have you considered having her try to seduce him?

Merry Christmas to you too!

Author Reply: Hello Whitewave,
I don't know where all these scenarios keep coming from. There are more, in fact, but I haven't got the time to get them all down. The 'seduction scenario' would also be fun to write, but it might not be very long ;-)

LOL. Like horse, like master, I suppose. This was great.

Author Reply: They do have certain similarities ;-) Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

Oooh...definitely one of my favourites in th Eomer/Lothiriel series. I liked the fairly fun flirting between them and also the mischief in Lothy's character.
And I loved her driving Amrothos absolutely mad AND making him lose the bet and his ego.

I also liked the fairytale with the Arabian Nights flavour....I thought that names like Mansoor and Caliph sounded familiar!!


PS: Salwar Kameez? Somehow I find it weird to imagine Lothiriel in one! It's not a muslim exclusive dress btw....its more of a Hindu dress.

Author Reply: Hello Shadowfax,
yes, this is a very light-hearted scenario and was fun to write. Also a more flirtatious Lothiriel than usual, although she got a bit of a surprise there. It might make for an interesting courtship.

I wanted to give this an oriental flavour, so I thought why not have the people from Gondor's south adapt some Turkish-inspired clothing. I've seen the Salwar Kameez worn mainly in the Muslim world, but it's true Hindus wear it as well. No idea who invented it first.

It's good to hear you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to review!

I was browsing through my reviews and saw that I forgot to post something for this one. Eomer and Lothy's first meeting scene is so dynamic and very, very funny! Loved every single word and I just thought I'd let you know. Thanks for sharing.

Author Reply: Hello Whitewave,
it was quite a challenge to come up with as much damage that she could do to him as possible - like you noted, it makes for a dynamic meeting scene. lol! I was thinking I might add some more scenarios to this collection one day. I don't lack for ideas, more for the time to write them down.

Thanks for reviewing!

The start of this story was refreshing in that Eomer was a bit of a pain but very humorous and engaging as well. Loved their outburst in the hall! I could imagine what the others' faces must have looked like!

Author Reply: Hello Whitewave,
I wanted to portray a slightly different Eomer for once, one who is still struggling with the losses in his life, and is not exactly tactful about it. And I'm sure the scene in the hall was quite a sight!

I liked the "turn in the hay" line very much.

Author Reply: it gives you a clear picture of what she looks like, doesn't it ;-)
