They share a bed once more, and there are embraces and kisses--but not so many as before, for they are both busier, distracted by their new son and the reordering of their lives around him. So far it is all too much of a whirl for Eowyn to miss other attentions (and as she has been sternly reminded more than once, she is still healing)...and yet, it has been a long time, and she cannot but be a little wistful.

But before she can identify these feelings clearly, there is a sharp tug, and she breaks off the kiss with a gasp; Elboron has managed a lucky grab at her hair, and is now waving it back and forth after having given a sharp pull. Eowyn winces. "Definitely ambitious."
