Chapter 7
He's So Brave
Boromir had been racking his head. He really wanted to see Miriel, but he had not the heart to disobey his father. Then he thought of something.
"Are you honestly trying to get Father to kill me?" asked Faramir "Do you really detest me also?"
Boromir smiled to himself, he loved his little brother.
"No, Faramir, that is not my intent."
"Sure it is." said Faramir "You expect to disobey Father, and deliver a note to some, girl."
"Firstly," said Boromir "You are not disobeying Father, he forbade me, not you. And secondly, when you grow up, which I doubt that will ever happen, you will want to send notes to some girl."
Faramir snorted "Whatever you say Boromir. I still believe you want me to have a deathwish."
"Me? No. Father maybe."
Faramir laughed "Yes, he does. I'm sure he would prefer me dead."
Boromir looked at Faramir "No, Faramir, Father loves you, he may not show it, but he does. He'd never wish you dead."
Faramir shrugged, and Boromir handed him the sealed letter.
"Aw, I can not read it?"
"No," said Boromir "And Miriel will know if you have. Now, leave soldier. May darkness cover you and your task."
"Yes, yes, darkness, that's what I'll be seeing if Father finds out, I might as well deliver this and lock my self in a dungeon." Faramir left.
Boromir laughed at his little brother, 'So over dramatic.' thought Boromir.
Faramir used the cover of darkness to slip into the Houses of Healing.
"What am I doing?" he whispered a loud. "I'm walking into a maiden's room, at night, clothed in black, with a love note. If anyone catches me, this will not be good."
Faramir scanned the doors. Which did Boromir say was hers?
Third one on the right. Yes, that was it.
Faramir opened the door to very loud snores.
He walked in, 'Wow, Boromir can pick them.' he thought as he listened to the snores.
He walked over the bed, to wake her, when he leaned over it, the person rolled over, and Faramir recoiled, it was an old man.
Maybe it was third door on the left.
He walked into the room across the hall. No snoring, just a person lying in bed.
The figure sat up as soon as Faramir walked in the room.
"Do not move." a woman's voice commanded
"Do not fear me." said Faramir "I am playing messenger boy to some one who I think you shall be intrested in."
"Who?" she asked
"My brother."
"Who is your brother?"
"None other than the fearless Captain Boromir, who is so brave that he can not deliver his own message, but force his younger brother to do it."
"Hold on," Miriel said "I shall light a lantern."
Faramir blinked as the lantern lit up the room.
"Here." he said handing her the letter.
She looked at it.
"I didn't read it. I promise."
"I didn't think you read it." she said
"Good." said Faramir "I'm going to leave."
"Wait!" Miriel called " Tomorrow, do you think you could stop in, and I'll give you a reply."
Faramir thought about it. "Fine." He said "Tomorrow afternoon."
Then he left.
Boromir was waiting for Faramir when he returned.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." said Boromir, very out of charachter.
Faramir looked at him "Um, You're welcome?"
"Thank you! Thank you!" said Boromir again.
"Would you like to know something else?" asked Faramir
"What?" asked Boromir
"I am going to get a reply tomorrow."
"Really?" said Boromir, who almost jumped up and whooped, but that would be very noticable, so he didn't.
"Yes." said Faramir "Let's just pray father doesn't find out before then. Or after, for that matter."
Boromir hugged Faramir. "Someday," said Boromir "I will repay you."
"How a bout, never acting like this again?"
"I can't promise that." Boromir said.
