[ He has not been very visible, really. The lockets stir unpleasant memories of the Palantir and his father's final madness if he thinks on them too hard, and he has yet to grow accustomed to their use. But.

Faramir looks calm, but there is grief and loss in his eyes ]

For those who knew her, the Lady Eowyn is gone. She left little, but what remains I have accounted to myself. She is, I hope, safely home once again.

[ A small appreciative smile ]

Thank you, lady. That is my prayer also. Better she be at home than here, in any case - she has known enough of war.

[topmodel]

Think of it this way -- even though you can't be next to her, she's in safety. That should be comfort on its own.

[theywhowait]

It is, and I thank you for the words. [ The smile firms ] In truth, she would likely be most cross with me for moping so! Thank you for reminding me.

[topmodel]

You weren't moping, sir. Entitled to a small amount of upset, definitely. Unless you've started refusing food and contact?

[theywhowait]

[ Does sitting mournfully in her room and playing with her shard count? ]

Oh no no, I would most certainly be scolded for such behaviour! [ He chuckles, mood lifting ] I could never put on such bad behaviour!

[topmodel]

Then you're not moping, and have nothing to worry about. But if you feel like you might start to go that path, do you need me to offer to scold you?

[theywhowait]

Hm, I will do my level best not to. [ A wry grin ] I am sure my lady would not mind if another were to hold me to acceptable standards of behaviour!

[topmodel]

Call on me if ever you need, either scolding or simply someone to listen to you. My name is June May.

[theywhowait]

Lady June May. [ He sketches a bow ] Faramir of Gondor at your service, with many thanks.

You are very kind to a stranger, and I am grateful.
