Eowyn laughs and shakes her head. "Not I. I am no scholar, and to me one way of learning seems as well as another."
Which leaves the two cousins to happily wrangle, Faramir deftly keeping Lothiriel too occupied for distraction or sighing over the King of Rohan. Eowyn watches them with amusement and just a faint touch of grief (Faramir is as much older to Lothiriel as Theodred was to herself, or near it), mixed together with annoyance at her brother and impatience and above all, curiosity.
So it is a relief when after some time, Lothiriel is reclaimed by her brothers for some other family argument, and Eowyn takes Faramir's arm and leads him to a relatively more quiet corner of the room. She manages to continue the innocuous conversation they'd been having until reaching it, whereupon she immediately abandons it. "What in Bema's name were you discussing?"
She does not specify when or with whom, and assumes she will not need to. Her betrothed is no fool.
