Far and Away

Chapter 29

disclaimer: I don't own Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien does. I'm just borrowing a few of the characters. ( This chapter is dedicated to a very special reviewer: Lirenel- enjoy!(its short, but it's F/E!)

Eowyn stood in the small courtyard and looked out over the city. It had been just a few days that the armies had been gone, but it seemed like years.

Tears threatened, but Eowyn had decided that she had cried too much already because of this stupid war and she wasn't going to shed another tear. At least not in a public place.

The damp spring air was cooler than most days and Eowyn shivered. She had put nothing on over her dress that morning when she went out. She was beginning to regret having left her warm room in the first place. She was wrapping her cold arms around herself for warmth when a large, thick, warm cloak was place gently on her shoulders. She turned to see Faramir standing beside her, wrapping her in the warmth.

At first Eowyn stood speechless, shocked at the unspoken kindness and love of the action. She blushed and turned away, muttering, "Thank you, my lord."

Faramir nodded. "It gets cold up here sometimes, so you always have to be prepared for it." He smiled down at her. "Don't worry, I'm just used to it and you'll get used to it soon too."

Eowyn blushed. She softly stroked the fur cloak. "Its beautiful," she whispered.

"Yes- it was my mother's." He paused and after awhile, found himself again. "I think that she would have wanted you to have it."

"Oh-" Eowyn looked down at the beautiful stitching. The cloak was a soft golden brown and was trimmed in a pale red. Eowyn looked up at Faramir. "Thank you."

"Of course. Anything for you." Eowyn stared at Faramir as he turned a deep shade of red. "Um, excuse me, I just realized I have to see to something." Faramir nodded a good bye and walked quickly back to his room.

Eowyn just stared after him for a moment dumbfounded. A bit of a smile tugged at the edge of her lips and she let herself smile at the thoughts that came into her head. She shook her head and headed back to the warmth of her own room.

Yeah, yeah, I know that its short, but I have two other chapter that are sitting in a notebook, just waiting to get all typed up! ( Aren't you so proud of me? Listen, I'm really sorry that it's been so long, but here it is...plz review, it means a lot to have support!
