Her hand on his arm is a welcome comfort, as it has been so often these past few days. How can it have only been a few days since they met? It seems far longer, and yet no time at all. No time at all for his world to have completely reordered itself as it has done.

Faramir's eyebrow raises just a little when Eowyn claims she has naught to prove--nothing when it comes to riding a horse, perhaps, but the rest of her life has sounded otherwise to him. But he lets it pass. "He does sound an excellent horse," he agrees. "And perhaps it might be possible to discover what has become of him. There were many such horses recovered from the Pelennor once the battle ended, I know. Many were pressed into service with the Captains gone West, but..." He frowns, considering who he might speak to on the matter. A horse of obvious Rohirric breeding and training rather than Gondorian, so likely it would have been given back to the Riders of the Mark once found, if found...it is at least worth asking. "It is possible," he repeats, then smiles for her. "Shall we see? It may take a few days or more to discover, but such a valiant horse is worth the search, is he not?"
