Éowyn feels a tiny stab of chagrin at catching on to the issue so late, followed closely by a small flare of frustration. These unwritten rules of propriety! She thinks it all a little foolish, this prevalent assumption that a man and a woman alone in any space must always be up to something untoward. Or at the very least, planning something of the sort. None would think twice of two women or two men -- friends, just like herself and Faramir -- in the same situation. But it is what it is, foolish and annoying or not; she certainly does not wish any trouble on Faramir over something so silly.
Whether or not there could be some truth to such assumptions -- were they both not still convalescing -- she refuses to even entertain. For several reasons.
"As you say," she merely agrees with a small nod of acknowledgement, keeping her thoughts to herself. With a hint of humor edging her tone, she goes on, "Then, I suppose there is nothing to it. You shall have to prepare yourself for the risk of possibly having to drink more of that tea in the near future..."
