[Private to Freda]

I am sorry for how I acted towards you. It was quite a surprise, but that is no excuse.

Would you - could you teach me how to ride a horse? I should like to learn, and show Éomer as a surprise.

[Private to Éomer]

I have fought with my father. He is having relations with a woman younger than I am. I...I feel very sick about it.

	You do not have to, there are few on the Mark that do not ride. Though it is more because they cannot afford a mount. Though it will be strange having a Queen that cannot ride. I can promise you, that mine is not one to fear. Even in her wilder days she did not buck, or toss. She has a very kind soul. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Very well. I shall meet you soon, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. You know where Eomer keeps Firefoot? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I...do. But he terrifies me. He hates me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He is very spirited, as is Eomer, they are a perfect pair. But you will not be riding him. And we will not go into the pin with them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I do not wish to. Even the idea scares me. Horses scare me, but that one in particular. And I...I am very small next to Éomer. And next to the horses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Size is not really relevant to a horse or to a man. Unless you are a halfling. Or perhaps a dwarf. If you have a good horse, and a good man, they will help you where your size lacks. Firefoot is a good horse, he is simply spirited, and loyal to just one person. ~~He will make fine foals.~~ They are not bad qualities to have in a horse, or a woman.

	I am loyal to Éomer. But I would not wish on Firefoot the injury that I am certain that horse wishes upon me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think it may be an issue of trust. When he trusts you, and you him, there would hot be an urge to cause you injury. You may have to endure a few bites to earn that trust though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think the horse is jealous of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There could be that, did you kick him out of Eomer's bed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, dear! I hope not! I mean, I know Rohirric men love their horses. But I'm quite certain they don't love their horses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lothíriel / Freda riddermark_maid 2013-04-18 06:41 am UTC (link)
	I would hope not myself. But you did hit it on the head. I meant in more of a simple sense. On cold nights, just to keep warm. Rather than what the rest of the great hall was doing to keep warm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps that is true, I fear perhaps it is. But he is my husband, and my love, and I will not give him up for the feelings of a horse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aye that is good to hear! But it also means that we may have to resort to pure bribery to win that horse over. They say Mûmakil have long memories, but so do horses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I shall do what I must, I suppose. I do love Éomer, my Lady. I truly do. He is so tender and gentle, how could I not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lothíriel / Freda riddermark_maid 2013-04-18 08:17 am UTC (link)
	It's not hard to bribe a horse though. Apples, carrots, and and a bit of sugar now and then. Which is where you might get a bite. Please, call me Freda. I am no lady. But I trust that you do. And he you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
