Eowyn laughs and lifts her goblet to him in a toast. "If tightening our belts includes meals such as this, I do not think it will be much of a hardship at all." It is nothing spectacular as meals go, not something to match a Rohirric feast or to grace the King's table in Gondor, but it is entirely satisfactory to Eowyn's wishes and needs.
She sobers however, and shakes her head to his question. "No. I thank you for asking me, but no." She loves him all the more for the invitation, so casually offered, with the assumption that if she wished to ride to battle she would be not only able but entirely right and welcome to do so. Few have graced her with that respect. "But what I said before still holds true. I fear I will not pick up a sword again. Not unless the need is very great."
