"You will have your chance." Faramir's smile grows a shade warmer, for he is glad to hear her say so. "They will be remaining here with me, when the others continue their journey north. My uncle has told me of his part in your recovery--for which I have fervently thanked him!--and he is all the more pleased because of the results, for we value each other highly. He is looking forward to speaking with you."
His smile turns rueful. "As are my cousins, though they may have less altruistic motives, I suspect. They spent the entire journey here teasing me without mercy, for my mooncalfing. I trust they will be more restrained with you, but if they are not, we may need to find allies. I am sure Merry and Pippin would oblige us."
