Disclaimer: I do not own the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. I greatly enjoy his writings and I like to muse about what might have befallen the characters he created. The characters not created by Tolkien are mine. I wrote this for personal pleasure only and not for personal gain. It is intended as a tribute to JRRT.
Thanks for reviewing! And thanks to Deandra for wonderful betaing!
Pitfall of Male Pride
Faramir, Imrahil's sons and Éomer were watching Éowyn, on Windfola, race Lothíriel on her gelding.
'An excellent horsewoman!' Erchirion proudly commented.
'Yes, though she will lose,' said Éomer, winking at Faramir.
'Lothíriel will not lose!' Erchirion retorted hotly.
'I supposed you meant Éowyn,' answered Éomer affably.
'What say you of our sister's riding skills?' Amrothos challenged Éomer.
'They need improving. She should ride a mare, one matching her spirit. She would, of course, have to groom the horse herself. I would need to train them both,' Éomer listed, while denying to himself he felt regret it could not be so.

A/N:
I got some questions whether these drabbles are part of a larger story. Yes, they are. I am trying to create a story covering Lothíriel's life span. Some scenes, I think, are not suited for the story, mostly because of the wrong point of view. If I like them enough I try to convert them to drabbles (an extreme short story of exactly 100 words). They're also exercises to improve my writing skills.
