The confused, astonished look on her face is answer enough, even before she speaks. To Faramir's surprise, he finds himself blushing at her words. Many times now he has thought over those hasty, fumbling sentences he spoke that first day in his first astonished moments of discovery, and wondered if they were ill-done.
He laughs a little, partly from relief. "I had known you but a few minutes! There was little else I could speak on, that I knew of for certain about you." He squeezes her hand in return. almost as hard as she does his. "But thank you for saying so; you relieve my mind. I had hoped not, for I know you well enough now to believe you would not hesitate to condemn me if I had. But in light of all you have just told me I wished to be sure." His glance at her is almost shy, his half-smile regretful on her behalf. "You have had more than enough experience of having your wishes overlooked, I think."
