As Faramir entered the tent, Eowyn rose. They could leave now, and arrive tommorow. He lead her into the bright sunlight, to where the horses were ready to leave. After a final check Faramir mounted. As he did so a guard ran panting, before collapsing at the horses feet.
"Sire, Orcs! They attacked a warrior! Our men dealt with them, but there were near one hundred, the rest escaped. We fear there maybe more. This was no coincidence." The man stopped speaking, gasping for breath. Faramir's mind reacted quickly.
"So now Eowyn, the trip to Minas Tirith is no longer a mere social call. We must warn King Elessar. It may be nothing, but it cannot go unmarked. I fear we shall not be able to stop at night, if Orcs are abroad. If we ride hard, we shall see the White City at dawn!" Without waiting for an answer, Faramir nudged his horse into a light trot. "I'm sorry Eowyn. This couldn't have come at a worse time. Come, let us leave." The hooves of the two horses left Helms Deep, in a rush to reach Minas Tirith.
