Oh, very powerful, Viv! Your Imrahil is not only perceptive, but also astute in his analysis of his observation of Éomer.
Nicely done!

| *sobs* ... I've read it about five times and it still gives me chills. I love this view of Eomer from 'foreign' eyes. You very well portrayed the perspective of a peer, a lord and a father. |

Hooray! That's what I was going for. Am jazzed that it came through a bit. |

| That is a very powerful piece of writing. And I can now totally believe that this match was made there on the battlefield. |

Wonderful. I love the choice of POV. I am amazed at how the different takes on this scene make me feel it more deeply each time! What a great idea for him to see a potential match in this sorrowful scene.
Excellent work, Viv. |

That was great, Viv.
Loved the picture of Eomer you created.
But no one has used Imrahil as a matchmaker! - now do you really think I would have let that one pass me by - a couple of times. LOL
Thanks for the read - I enjoyed it with my breakfast. LBJ |

Well, it was awfully egotistical to think I came up with something new, wunnit?  Clearly I haven't read enough of your work. Looking forward to rectifying that. |

This is really great, Viv. In such a short glimpse at the battlefield you potrayed both Imrahil and Eomer from a few different perspectives, and you did so in a very emotional and elegant way.
Excellent challenge entry. Thank you for writing and sharing it with us  |

Very nice, indeed! I've always thought of Imrahil as perceptive and you've caught that. |

| Excellent, Viv, I did not understand the import of the first line until the end, and then so easily since you had paved the road in between so smoothly. Imrahil's voice comes naturally and easily of the page with economy and purpose. And I appreciated how his politician's heart could feel and plan simultaneously. |

| As far as Imrahil matchmaking, it only makes sense - this would be a political/dynastic marriage as well as a (possible) romance, after all. As the bride's father, he'd have to have a say. Well written and a good premise. |
