The door opened and in stepped a hobbit. His right arm was wrapped in a linen cloth, just like Eowyn's right arm. On his breast he wore the emblem of Rohan. He walked up to the bed, "My Lady," he said.
"Merry. How glad I am to see you. And you are safe. That is very important to me. How's the arm?"
'It's fine. I'm beginning to be able to use it again. Likewise?"
"Same thing. I am just starting to be able to use it."
"Were you rescued from the field Merry?"
"Well, not exactly. What I mean is yes and no. I was rescued, but not from the field. Pippin found me wandering in the couriders and brought me here. I didn't even know where I was until Aragorn did his healing. Then the first thing out of my mouth was wondering where my pipe was"
Eowyn smiled at this. It was just a like a Halfling to say something odd when waking up after an injury. She had heard from Merry about his friend Frodo asking the time.
After a bit more small talk Eomer entered. He looked at Eowyn with surprise on his face. It hadn't even been forty-eight hours, and already she was talking to people. "How is she doing Aragorn?" he asked.
"Much better than I thought. Sometimes even if someone is grievously wounded, if they are able to find the will to live, they are able to live. It seems as if Eowyn has found the will to live, though I do not know where," Aragorn replied.
"Perhaps it came from the Halflings. They always seem to have the will to live, even when they are badly wounded. At least, this is how it seems with the Halflings that I am acquainted with."
"Very true Eomer. Merry, I think it is time for you to go back to your room. Your arm still is weak and needs healing, which only can come from rest. Eowyn as well needs her rest. Ioreth will you see that she rests."
"My Lord, I am feeling fine. My arm hardly hurts. May I please get up?" asked Eowyn.
"Not for several days yet Lady Eowyn. Wounds of that sort seem to heal quickly, but they do not. It takes many days. I will let you know when you can arise."
Authors note: I know this chapter is short, but right now I have bit of writers block. I'll try to update as much as I can.
