Edmund is mentioned often but there are few of any background stories of him and Theodyn, so I appreciate this story so much. Thank you enjoyed it very much.

I love this picture of Eomer as sweet and small. I normally think of him as tough and very big, although he is also very young for the responsibility he winds up with, of course. But the sweet, small boy is in there somewhere too.

Ah, that is good, Eomer's bonding with Eowen , I mean. I like his oath that he gives his sister, since it runs through the LotR. I don't think I've ever mentioned it, but I like the way that this is written, you know, using expresions and their manner of speech in the narration. It makes it fully Rohirric and adds a neat depth. Glad to hear that there is to be a sequal. Four years into the future, isn't that when Eomund is slayn? (Ugh, I'm too lazy to look it up now.) That'll be sad, espeacially now that you've made Eomer's family so realistic for me. Oh, well. I must go lay a trap for the Easter Bunny. Happy Easter to you!

Hey! Sorry I could not review for a bit, but ere I could my computer uh, died again. So now I sit at my Opa's computer catching up on stories and I was delited to see an update. Eomer's older sibling jeliousy is still playing out nice, with his thought to push Eowen's craddle. Mathelm acts utterly a boy. Trying to show a four-year-old an orc head. (Definate boy sense.) Your realistic situations still amaze me.

I am so charmed by these loving fathers, particularly Eomund. Extra affection is just what Eomer needs, that an and understanding of what could have happened. I'm glad the little boy is happy this morning.

Well, I truly cannot think of much to say, other than I liked this chapter and am looking forward to the next. I also really like how all your characters are portrayed. The essence of the Mark is really there.

Well, that was an, um, interesting choice of words for Eomund to invoke when he found out what Eomer was up to. I couldn't exactly discern what he meant when he said it, but I suppose it works for Rohirric swearing. How old are Darthmund and Freamer? I'd think they'd at least be of an age where they wouldn't have to answer for their deed. At least, not to their father. I mean, Framhelm could lay into them all he wants, but since his sons are grown men there's not much more he can do than that. At least, not how I see it. Oh well.

What a place to end the chapter! Poor little Eomer. I can see his father's point of view in all of this -- his anger at Eomer, his relief that he's OK, his anger at others. There are tangled relationships here, fathers and sons, lords and riders, brothers and little sibs. I hope they all manage to come out in one piece!

You know, I have no idea where my brain went. I meant to say twenty-four years down the road, not fourteen. Sorry. Though, that would have been impressive for Eomer and Eowyn to be fighting at the Pelennor at 18 and 14. :)

This is great, though Eomer certainly steals the show. His childhood manner and curiosity are so believable. I especially loved the line where Eomer said he's rather have a pony. I wonder if he ever reflected upon that statement fourteen years down the line. :) I can't imagine the stench of that Orc head. I mean, I would suppose Orcs would already smell bad, and one that's been rotting for who knows how many days would be nauseatingly pungent. I'd say you could probably smell it with the barn doors closed at that point, and I'd burn it far away from anyone living. :) Eomer the warrior, who slays dragons every day. I loved that! I've always wondered how a battle between a dragon and the Rohirrim would go. Especially with Eomer involved. Too bad it's an unusable plot device....... Great for little kids imaginations, though. :)

It is simply fantastic how you mix Rohirrim and family life together. Eomer's feelings of unwantedness is so...realistic as that is how it is in families.

daw the minstrel · 18 March 2004 · Chapter 2

Poor Eomer. He feels so alone and I can see why. What use is a baby to him, particularly when the baby take up all his mother's time? It's nice to see all these folks so happy together though. That's how I picture the Rohirrim too.

I better learn to stop reading things like this lest my maternal longing turn the rest of my childhood into drudgery. I'm only fourteen and yet there's nothing I want more than to be happily married with a family. Ug, how time drags, while it yet flies by. But anyway, I loved this! Eomer's relationship with his parents, especially his father, was wonderful and well felt. I can't wait until the next chapter is uploaded. :) Your descriptions were beautiful, the love between husband and wife, son and parents, and the entire family and Eowyn. The kids playing in the mud, the men yelling and cheering in the hall while Theodwyn's trying the SLEEP! *shakes head* Men. Please don't rush yourself, but please don't take too long to update! :)

Oh, I love your story very much. It makes me think back when I was waiting for my brothers to be born.

daw the minstrel · 15 February 2004 · Chapter 1

Oh much better! I am now all teary eyed and warm at the loving picture you have given us. I also loved the picture of muddy, wet Eomer trying to dam the water with his friends. That was so realistic. This was just great.

You need to fix the paragraphing on this, eokat. I'd like to read it but the formatting is making my eyes cross.
