Just trust her, that's all he had to do. It sounded so simple. Trust me.

The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.


Gandalf's words flew back to him. The old wizard seemed to be reaching out to him across the waters, offering the comfort that no one else could. I am Aragorn, he thought. Namün was right, he hadn't changed since the rhyme had been written. He was still the same man, still Strider, still Estel. Still Aragorn.

And yet, as he cast his mind back to the courtroom scene, he relised that he was wrong. Yes, he was still Aragorn, but he had changed. The anger that had filled him was a new and disturbing experience as was the incredible sense of self worth.

What is wrong with me? he thought. He looked down at Namün who was still held tightly in his arms. While she had solved many previous problems he doubted that she could help here. He needed someone who had known him before the change, someone impartial.

Wracking his brains, the image of Eowyn surfaced. The beautiful but lonely stewardess was the closest to impartial he was going to find in this palace that teamed with intrigue. It occured to him that he could also inquire about the apparent change in her husband. Faramir seemed to have undergone the same process as he, himself had. Maybe understanding Faramir's problem would help him understand his own.

Kissing Namün he set off towards Eowyn's tower.
