Word count: 183
"Tell me Theodred, does Eowyn have any friends?"
"Mm-hmm. A few in the servants and in the village of course. Why?"
"Because, ever since my arrival here she's done nothing save pester and follow me about like a little shadow."
Theodred paused in the sharpening of his sword long enough to chuckle at his friend's petulant expression. "Ah, the innocence of youth."
"Sweet Eru, do not tell me-"
Theodred wave his friend's concern off with a dismissive hand. "No, no. Eowyn doesn't have feelings for you, but I do believe she's adopted in you a new friend."
Boromir blinked. "Why me?"
"Isn't it obvious? You're a stranger, she knows little or nothing about you other than you're my friend of the same age. You intrigue her basically. She wants to know more about you."
Boromir groaned slouching further in the chair he sat in. "Brilliant."
"Oh, don't worry yourself friend. She's fourteen, their attention wavers from this to that. She'll be on to something or someone else before you know it."
