The long sleeves of Eowyn's dress followed behind her as she paced quickly through the Citadel. She had just been to visit her new horse that had been sent from Edoras by her brother, it was truly a magnificent best to ride and look upon. However that was not the reason she was in a hurry, Aragorn had summoned her and knowing only too well that her husband had never done this, she thought it must be an urgent matter. According to Arannaiel, Eowyn's handmaid, she was to meet him outside in the gardens of the city. And that was where she found him. He was sitting with a piece of parchment in his hand and he looked to be reading it over and over again. A sudden rush of fear swept over her. Had he been given the same message she had? If so there would be a very awkward situation. So in a vain attempt to settle her nerves she took a deep breath and approached him.
"Tell me Eowyn, would you care to tell me what your brother was meaning when he wrote me this message? iI apologize for not being there but I have many matters to attend to here/i "
Eowyn froze at hearing these words. What should she say? There was an uncomfortable silence before she spoke and he said
"Obviously it means something to you so I will ask you again, what was your brother meaning when he wrote this?" she could now detect some bitterness in his voice and she knew she could no longer stay silent.
"I am sorry but I do not know of what he was speaking of, I must go" but before she could walk away he grabbed her wrist and forced her to look at him. Once again he said
"what was your brother meaning when he wrote this message?" his voice was now more calm. And she locked his gaze for only a few seconds before she spoke.
"It does not concern you in any way, let it be and let me go" there were another few seconds of silence before he released her. Then she added,
"Do not worry yourself, you never have before" and she walked briskly out of the gardens and made towards her chamber. She needed some peace away from everyone and everything.

Aragorn however was still staring at her retreating form with a very angry and confused expression. It occurred to him that it probably was something of importance so he stood there and racked his brain for possible answers. Soon he gave up his efforts and went in search of his Steward, perhaps he knew what the message was about.
It did not take long to find him, he was sitting in a small study reading an ancient looking book that was beginning to fall to pieces. As Faramir looked up he saw his King standing in front of him with a message in his hand.
"My Lord, is there something wrong?" Faramir said and he gave him a slightly worried look.
"Nay I am fine, just a little perplexed. Tell me, would you happen to know what King Eomer was meaning when he wrote this message? and he handed Faramir the message.
"Yes My Lord, I do believe that today is Lady Eowyn's birthday, did you not know?"

Sorry, small chapter
yay I feel so happy!lol I actuly got some reviews. In response to some, you will have to wait and see what happens. I am planning on adding a bit of romance but yeah. Oh and just so you know this story won't be more than 5 chapters long. It is only a small idea that I had while I was sitting in front of the heater.
