Who: Lothiriel When: fourth day into his return from patrol Where: Rohan What: Narrative, finding out the rumor about her and her KIng's Champion.
Lothiriel had been spending lots of time with the children, when she wasn't with Eomer, or they were both with the children. She was starting to feel relaxed once more with Eomer around. It seemed like everyone left her alone for the most part. She felt she could breath. She was still getting sick at least once in the morning, and depending on if she ate a lot of a little in the afternoon, and it was to no fail that she in least throw up twice at night, once when food was before her, and after at around midnight she was up and getting sick from the food she had eaten. Not that she was really eating a lot, for despite what Eomer said she was trying to lose whatever fat she had gained, though really she had no clue where she had got it from since the last few weeks she had been barely eating, and throwing up what she did get down.
This day she was heading to the kitchen, while Eomer was briefly out helping some of his people in the villages nearer to Medusel called Underharrow and Upbourn, to get some snacks for the children. However, she didn't even go inside as she opened the door slightly, she heard the kitchen staff laughing and telling the latest gossip or the palace. One was laughing about something she hadn't caught, while another trying to top the other said, " Oh but this is the best, have you heard what the latest those Dol Amroth people are saying? The queen’s being unfaithful with Deorwine, the Kings Champion! " This was followed by more laughter, and Lothiriel's eyes got wide, her hand flew to her face, and she thought that they were not laughing about the fact of how absurd that sounded, for all that were in Rohan knew the King and Queen were very much besotted with each other, and most knew that they had been really ever since they met, but that it was so absurd that Deorwine, would be with anyone like her.
However, what really shocked her was that they had said her own people were saying these things, and where and how could they have seen them together to say such things? She ran back to her chambers, and didn't even return to the children, she just stayed in her rooms, pacing, biting her thumb pad until it was near on bleeding. She couldn't understand how such a thing had been circulated, how in the world could Deorwine and her possibly been together without Eomer knowing? He was either with Eomer, or he was both Eomer and her together along with Theodrake. She couldn't understand what they were doing. Why did they want to be so cruel? They were suppose to protect her, guide her, suggest things, but not make her life miserable. She was near on to tears, and then got sick from the nervousness.
