I'm enjoying this story and your different takes on how Eomer and Lothiriel met and wed. Your Eomer is really great. Looking forward to more soon!

A good meeting. He smells nice; he held her nice and tight; she felt safe in his arms. Yep. Promising. She's going to find it hard to remain quite so indignant. Although she will doubtless enjoy the fact that Eowyn was cross with them all for the same reasons. (I won't say that some of Lothiriel's concerns seem remarkable petty. After all, she is young, and good at princessing and she's willing to learn!) Eomer's revelation of a good sense of humour - and a sisterly-trained way of treating females like fellow humans will be a definite advantage to their relationship! “I imagine they would make me marry you.” indeed! The thought of keeping this meeting secret seems to be quite pleasing to both of them. I hope they manage to sort out a few more secret encounters - that should give them both something to look forward to!

Now a library is always a good place to go for information - and the desire to seek it looks promising. And learning Rohirric is a good plan, too. I am sure that, had she not started to make some moves, some of this education would have been forced upon her, but it is much better for the letters and requests to come from her. (Learning Rohirric from stable-boys might not be quite such a disaster - since the Rohirrim are totally horse-obsessed. Just as long as she knew what she was saying!) Nice Aragorn. Kind, sensible - and saying the right things! And this seems to be a bit more of an interesting way to meet your prospective husband than to be introduced in the middle of a horde of Gondorian busybodies. I doubt their first conversation will be about the Field of Celebrant, though.

Apart from her obsession with her hairstyle and those stupid caps - Lothiriel does have some reason for her indignation. It would have been quite easy to keep the early discussions quiet until she could at least meet Eomer. And she could never have expected a totally free choice in who she should marry - not in Gondor's society. Still. Meeting Eomer will help! And it probably won't hurt him, either - after all, he's going on the word of others about her suitability, too. Although he did have some say in the matter. Looking forward to more.

Well - Lothiriel did a good job of organising Dol Amroth. And it would be preferable at least to meet your prospective husband before everyone around you makes up their minds that you will suit each other nicely. But I somehow suspect she might come round! In time.
