In fact Aragorn and Arwen have both said that the young Steward's gaze strays all too often and too wistfully towards the north, or at least to the gardens of the Healing Houses, despite his workload and determination to be equal to it. But Eomer spares him this knowledge.
To the rest of Faramir's words he only nods acceptance, and grimaces a little ruefully at this reference to his sister's determination--which is a tactful word for her willful nature. "I am glad to know my sister is so well loved, for she deserves it. I would not be willing to part with her else."
A hint of amusement crosses his face, and he adds, "Speaking of her will--until such a time as I wed and have children of my own, any born to her are my heirs. I trust you know your business and will not embarass her, but..." He shrugs. "We are more pragmatic about such things in the Mark, less inclined to count the days between a trothplighting and a wedding. Though in Bema's name, try to be discreet if you can. There are some things a brother does not need to know."
