[ 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.

[ he tips his head in a bow and turns the locket off ]

[ Faramir smiles to see Pod ]

Hello little lady. [ Yes, he is always going to call her that ]

The Lady Eowyn was a lady great and kind, strong and gentle. She is also my wife - alas, I fear that I will miss her greatly, despite knowing that she is home where she belongs. Tis not your fault, and I thank you for your kindness. You would have liked her, I think.

[And Pod will always blush when she hears it.]

She sounds a wonderful woman. I wish I could have met her.

[She doesn't know what else to say on that, so she fidgets a little, then decides to have a go at changing the subject.]

This sorrow aside, how have things been for you since we last spoke?

I, as well. But some things are obviously not meant to be. [ a quiet sad sort of shrug but he smiles ]

Things otherwise are as well as can be expected eh? My lord king has made shift to distract me, and the library is vast and well stocked. What of you?

I've stumbled upon a mystery while on my way back to Caer Glaem after the hunt. There's something scaring the wolves, so I'm looking about to see what I can find.

[It will turn into her quest, though she doesn't know it yet. She's happy to feel like she's doing something, but at the same time, worried over the wolves, so her expression is conflicted.]

The Hunt... ah! Yes, I remember hearing of that - did you see the White Hart, Pod? I hope you stay safe out there. If ever you need a hand, just call, eh?

I left him offerings, and yes, once, from a distance. I saw him crest a rise, on a rocky hill, fleeting as it was.

[She just isn't going to mention the time over the lockets, because the Hart hadn't been in that physical form anymore. She's pretty sure, at least, and trying not to think about it.]

I am safe for now, with Kiga by my side, but I do worry over the wolves. Whatever it is, it is forcing them from their home territories and into conflict with other packs. But if I can think of a way you can help us, I will certainly call, Lord Faramir.

[She laughs a little.] Or if an idea occurs to you, I'm sure you'll do the same!

Oh, but that is fortunate indeed! My congratulations, I think, are in order. You have a kind heart, little lady, and I am glad you have Kiga to guard you. Be careful, even so! And aye, I will come at once, if you need me!

[ how fortunate that he has a magic ring that lets him do exactly that |D ]

And if I think of something, I will let you know, but I fear that I have little experience with wolves and their behaviour beyond hunting!

We will be. And I will remember that. It is heartening to know that there is someone who can come, should I ever face trouble I cannot overcome with only myself and Kiga.

[More than he can know, because but for the grace of the gods bringing a rescuer that one time, she would be dead now. And these lockets would let her call to him right away, as well, no matter where he would be. Pod's smile is as bright as sunlight.]

It may not be experience with wolves that solves the riddle, though. I shudder to think of the many things that could drive beasts from their homes.

I am only too pleased to be able to do so Lady Pod. [ he smiles back at her, and like her, the smile drops off as he nods ]

Aye. It must be a dangerous thing indeed. Be careful, eh?

[Pod nods back, serious and intent.]

I will be as careful as I can. But I should go. The quicker I find the reason, the quicker I, or others, can solve it, and I can return to investigate the library better.

[She hadn't had much time, hurrying off to find the Hart so quickly.]

[ Faramir nods ]

Then go swift, and go careful, and may the Valar guide your steps and bring you success!

[She bows.]

Thank you Lord Faramir. And you as well, may the gods watch over you and smile on all your endeavors.
