Twilight Vigil

Dear Silwen,

Your brother is slowly improving. I see the pain in his eyes; I know he hurts. Considering the size of his wounds the king thinks it will be some weeks before he is healed.

I have been here in the House of Healing in the twilight to sit and watch Boromir. For the past few nights Barahir has been coming for the first few hours after sunset, so I shall not be alone as long. King Elessar has been tending to Boromir all day every day since they have arrived. I come to watch during the night so he may rest. It does not trouble me to stay awake during the night for I find I cannot sleep anyway.

I have finished my dress. It is lovely. I am excited to wear it, though I have not had a chance yet.

While I was sewing last night Boromir woke up. He was thirsty and drank. Then he started speaking. I did not expect him to do so since the night was far advanced. He spoke of how he saw the orcs coming upon the camp, and how he saw you and Huinlas on the hill at the sunrise. He thinks again that Huinlas proposed to you.

I took Cemenril out on a very long ride today. He truly enjoyed it. The cold weather inspires him to run.

I must end now. Boromir has woken.

Mellonlín,

Arwing
