| What an innocent! Das war sehr unterhaltsam, vielen Dank. Aber es ist definitiv kein Ende, sondern gerade mal ein Anfang. Bis demnächst. Author Reply: Nein, das war tatsächlich noch nicht das Ende. Es gibt eine Fortsetzung unter dem Titel . . . hmm! Bei Deinem Namen sollte er Dir auffallen. | |

| I'm so bad! I'm reading this at work but I was so happy to see this updated I couldn't resist. She took a step back and blinked, twice. He had tilted his head very slightly to the side, and there was that assessing gaze again. Here she was out of her league, and she knew it. And worse, this man knew it, too. He arched a single eyebrow and then let it slowly be joined by the other. There was a mocking challenge in his eyes. Her lips parted, but she had nothing to say, not a single word would come. There was nothing but air, and even that seemed in short supply. And then all of a sudden his expression softened, and a rueful and apologetic smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. His voice had lost its teasing tone and now showed genuine kindness. I really liked this passage. I liked the way you showed their emotions physically rather than telling us what they felt. Also loved the way she doesn't know the effect she has on his when she strokes his leg. Author Reply: I'm worse. Sometimes I'm writing during lectures, but only if those are really dull like bio chemistry. (I hope no professor of mine is into fanfiction and reading this). And Lothíriel would be very surprised that you thought she had "stroken" this strangers leg. She had "examined" it. After all, she is a healer! | |

| "Are you well?" What a question! She had just been jumped at by a mountain of dripping wet, naked man. "Had I been marked by a hot iron, you surely would have noticed while visually examining me.” “Not if you were sitting on the mark.” Naughty, naughty, und so ein Tempo. Ich bin durchaus neidisch auf Lothiriel. Hoffentlich wird der arme Papa nicht vor vollendete Tatsachen gestellt, das tut man nicht. Aber es schreit nach mehr. Keine Textstelle aus den "Unfinished tales", bitte. Ich habe es im Silmarillion und noch besser, d.h. für Anfänger, in den Briefen gefunden. Es klingt für mich weiterhin grauenhaft, aber ich habe am Freitag brav geübt - golodh, naug, onod, roooohiiiiir - und es tut schon fast nicht mehr weh. Danke für den Hinweis. Author Reply: Mir wurde einmal gesagt, dass der ganze Zweck dieser Geschichte sei, Éomer in einem Zug nackt und sauber zu bekommen. So schlägt man eben zwei Fliegen mit einer Klappe. Und der gute Papa wird auch noch einiges dazu zu sagen haben. 'tschuldigung zu meiner weitscheifigen Erklärung. Beim Hintergrundwissen überkommts mich einfach manchmal. Und mir gefallen die "ch"-Laute eigentlich ganz gut: Rooo-ch-iiiir! | |

| I am enjoying this very, very much. Well written and a different take on the Eomer and Lothiriel relationship is always appreciated. I am looking forward to the next chapter. Author Reply: It is always good to hear that somebody is enjoying your stories. I hope you are going to like the continuation of the story arc. | |

| And this chapter was just as well done as the first one. What lovely sexual tension! This was a true pleasure to read. | |

| This is very engaging. Eomer and Lothiriel are very well characterized by their actions and speech. I love Eomer in this-- very masculine! I also like the sense you give of knowing what his armor would be like and where it would buckle. Also, your setting is done cleanly and quickly. I'm so glad there's chapter 2 right there! Author Reply: I live very close to an old castle and since I've been a child I love to stroll around its halls. They have plenty of wonderful original armours from the 13th to the 17th century. If I need some stimulus I just spend a rainy afternoon there. | |

| I spent my summers in college working on a road maintenance crew, and many of the men I worked with had been in Vietnam. I learned quickly never to walk up behind one and tap him on the shoulder! Poor Lothiriel... but poor Eomer more. I am sure he was appalled at himself. One can tell that Lothiriel has grown up around sassy older brothers, and she handles Eomer with remarkable wit. I like this portrayal of her... and indeed, she is fitting for the culture she will marry into. Author Reply: The idea of Éomer's reaction came when a friend of us who is married to a member of a special force unit warned us not to try to wake him in case he may fall asleep. We joked that she must live dangerously sharing a bed with him but she assured us that that is not a problem - he is used to her being there. | |

| Just love the chemistry. Lothiriel responds to Eomer in such a natural way - she can hardly believe it of herself. Even when he has just done his best to kill her, she carries it off. I'm not surprised he is impressed. I doubt that - with the exception of Eowyn - he has met many girls who are confident enough to put him in his place. Or, indeed, who are so competent in their area of expertise. Love it. Author Reply: I don't think she had realized that she had been nearly killed. She wouldn't react much differently if a big dog had jumped up on her. | |

| Well, I must say that I am thoroughly glad that I clicked on this story tonight. Even though your Eomer and Lothiriel haven't been officially named, I like them very much. So many fics portray Lothiriel as a sheltered princess that I was a bit startled by her pragmatic tone at first. However, I like your Lothiriel, and I am eager to see more of her. Your Eomer, too, is perfect, what with his pride about being treated by a healer, his frank appraisal of Lothiriel, and his veiled sense of power. I was amused by the way he pulled his shirt off to make Lothiriel twitch, and his sarcastic response to her "big tub, hot water" speech. These two are going to have an interesting relationship. Looking forward to more! ~El Author Reply: I think I can promise that those two continue to find each other quite interesting - or perhaps rather confusing. | |
