Ah, the reunion of the two is one thing, but you left your readers with a blood-freezing thought lingering in their minds, I'm sure. Poor Rumil... He must have been horrified for a moment.
Excellent stuff! |

| There would have been a second where he could do nothing... but to tell her might not only upset her, but make her hesitate before defending herself on another occasion. So I think he will keep that to himself - although the other bowmen would know if they thought about exactly when each thing happened. |

It's very interesting to observe how the people in Middle Earth perceive the places for a man and a woman in a society, and how that point of view is sort of compared to the one presented by Tindome -- still not quite an elf (though she thinks of the Eldar as her people already, and has done so for a while), and still not quite from ME. I think you conveyed those very well. Loved Eowyn in this chapter, btw -- she still feels insecure around men, even though she killed the Witch King!
The last bit -- the one about pointed ears -- PRICELESS! LOL!
Thanks for the update! |

| Thanks for your lovely reviews. I couldn't resist that bit at the end - it came to me as soon as I wondered what line she would have had prepared in case he noticed her ears! |

Glad to see this updated. M'kay, more coherent review will follow soonish, if you don't mind. I did just a quick read and oh boy... What was my name anyway? |

| Hee - it was fun to come back to the younger Tindómë, and to look at how Orophin would look at being given his choice of quite a few members of the Gondorian court! |

A more coherent review as promised:
I like Nessy very much -- she is a nice supporting character for Tindome; sometimes a counterpoint because well Tindome is a modern girl at one hand, and "not quite an elf, but still"  on the other.
I love the entire scene in the court. And the idea of Orophin having a older woman as his lover, too. Not every woman in Gondor was a young, willowy and beautiful Miss of Middle Earth, and it's good to have someone remind us of that. Thank you 
Very good stuff! Looking forward to reading more. |

| Thank you. It has been interesting to bring Nessy in again. The scene at court was fun to write - I could just imagine the gossiping. And writing the scene between Orophin and the lady was pure joy - looking at a rather plump, middle-aged, lady who washed regularly and knew about horses as a perfectly reasonable lover to choose - and how he looked at her as the encounter went on, gave me so much pleasure to write! |

o_O Someone wanted to steal the show
Glad that this time round Orophin adn Rumil didn't have to rescue Tindome, though I can understand her need to leave the city as quickly as possible. With the audience such as those kids no one's safe.
Great chapter! Thank you |

Thank you - turning fact into rumour has been fun - and Galanthir's 'outfit for joyful and wild celebrations' was what made me come back here before I went any further with The Winter Tale. Although in that you may well find out what the 'and more' is...
Escaping from a small horde of children set on hero-worshipping you is probably a good idea, I thought! |
