At least the healer had gone. Faramir did not like the man, who was not even the King's personal healer, yet had taken the responsibility of tending to the kings wounds. No doubt soon the revelations that Faramir had received from the man would be all over the castle. Yes, the womans injuries were bad, unsightly certainly, and Faramir wondered what had possesed the King to choose a scarred serving girl over an elegant queen. Not that he had eyes for anyone else.

His hand softly stroked Eowyn's hair as she lay in a troubled sleep. She did not seem well, exhaustion he had been told. However, Faramir was not so sure. There seemed more to the sleeping womans pain than just lack of sleep. Something was wrong. He could sense it, and he almost had half a mind to approach the king, see if anything could have troubled her while he had been away. Still. He had dignity, and while he was up here everything that had happened in his leave seemed clearer. And he did not like it.

There was a groan from the bed, and the covers shifted slightly. Still no Eowyn to converse with. Who was there for him now? Elessar- the changed man? Legolas- ever faithful to the king? Even the Queen was not there! Currently he felt humiliated and lonely, confused and powerless.
"Wake Eowyn, wake." He called softly to his wife, "Wake Eowyn, I need you."
