Summary: Legolas reassures an anxious Lady Eowyn.

It was quiet in the keep where everyone lay sleeping. He sat, still as death, until he could no longer bear the foreboding creeping under his skin like crawling spiders, and stole outside.

She stood upon the ramparts in a white gown, her golden hair whipping in the sudden wind. She turned at his approach, smiling awkwardly. They had not spoken earlier.

"You are troubled, milady."

"Yes. There is a storm coming and I do not know if I am strong enough to weather it."

He covered her small hand with his own. "I will do my best to help you."
