TA 3019
Day 1

I know not where I am, or indeed, how I've come to be here. 'Here' in the strictest of sense of the word means little as 'here' registers in no place that I have ever been before or that I have ever read in any text. The sights are unfamiliar, the sounds more so and there are no living souls whom I recognize. I would say that kidnapping is illogical at best, but I'm uncertain if that is what has occurred now - I am not being held hostage, though being brought here was very much against my will.

~~The coffers of Dol Amroth would pay~~ Home will be managed by others in my absence.

added
My daughter appears to be in residence though she speaks of changes I am unfamiliar with. Wed to Éomer of the Mark and with child. She was not a girl the last day that I saw her--early yesterday morning--but neither had she taken a husband.

I had planned for their union.

But that it has come to pass without my knowledge or memory of it is more troubling than words may describe.

	If what is true? That I am with child? I assure you it is true, and I am happy for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't speak of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why? Its father is thrilled at the news. I have never been lifted off my feet and spun around so vigorously as when I told him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lothíriel. I said not to speak of it. When I am ready to hear I will ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:22 am UTC (link)
	But I wish to speak of it. I am very happy. It was conceived in the deepest love. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-03-04 05:25 am UTC (link)
	Lothíriel. Speak of it elsewhere! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:26 am UTC (link)
	I thought you'd be happy, father. You're such dear friends, after all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-03-04 05:28 am UTC (link)
	Eru's grace be silent! At once. I'll not have this now. Do you understand? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:30 am UTC (link)
	Do you not wish to know who the father is? He is warm, kind and of high esteem, with the loveliest flaxen hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-03-04 05:33 am UTC (link)
	I'm no longer responding to your crude behavior. Do as you will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Éomer will be quite disappointed that you are not excited for us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-03-04 05:38 am UTC (link)
	Éomer. Éomer. We have not even discussed the terms of your marriage ~~and already you bed him.~~ Is it borne out of wedlock? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:39 am UTC (link)
	I know you think little of me, father, but do you think so little of your friend? He is a gentleman, and did not touch me until we were married. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-03-04 05:40 am UTC (link)
	Indeed I know him to be a gentleman. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:41 am UTC (link)
	He is a gentleman in the public and the private sphere. My child is but five months along, and we have been married eight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-03-04 05:43 am UTC (link)
	That changes things. I would not have my daughter made into a strumpet by a man I call friend, for no man lays a hand on his friend's daughter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:45 am UTC (link)
	He is my lord, my love, and the truest friend I have ever known. I carry not a bastard, father, but the heir to the throne of the Riddermark. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-03-04 05:47 am UTC (link)
	Then if what you say is true be at ease. I planned for you to marry him and fault you not for the child. A child borne of proper union is blessed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:48 am UTC (link)
	I am not ill at ease. It was you, not me, who read evil tidings into my words. It is clear what you think of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-03-04 05:52 am UTC (link)
	Evil things indeed, we are but two days in our stay in the Riddermark. We barely laid the lost king to rest and you tell me of news of a child. What else am I to expect of you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:54 am UTC (link)
	It is the first year of the Fourth Age when I come here, father. And I would have hoped that your mind would not immediately accuse me of debauchery. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-03-04 05:55 am UTC (link)
	Can you blame me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:57 am UTC (link)
	Yes. What reason have I ever gave you to doubt my purity? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imrahil 2013-03-04 05:58 am UTC (link)
	We left you alone in Dol Amroth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	queenofrohan 2013-03-04 05:59 am UTC (link)
	And I did nothing. (Reply to this) (Parent)
