Théoden King could have no better successor. Words he had not realized he needed to hear. Éomer takes those words and tucks them away somewhere deep and secure, to keep for steadying himself with in the future. For he is king and proud, but he is young, and he is neither his uncle nor his cousin. To be king on a battlefield is one matter, and even there, where he is most confident, he has already made a grave error, one that cost the lives of many men. But to be king off a battlefield...that will be another matter entirely, and he is not certain of himself.

That is yet to come, but still it helps that Éowyn, at least, believes he will do well. He catches her hand in his and squeezes it briefly before standing. "Good fortune also stay here with thee, for it has been more than earned." He bows his head a little, not wishing to leave. "Look to the East for us, sister. We will return."

A sudden smile flickers across his face, and he adds, "And try, if you will, to keep your esquire friend out of trouble." That he will visit Merry also and make a similar request of him regarding Éowyn, he does not bother to mention.

"I could hardly do so when I was hale and whole," she retorts, and his smile is reflected in hers, at least for a moment. She softens, and shakes her head. "I am only glad that he survived. I thought that surely he had fallen."

And it had grieved her more, in some ways, than anything else. It was her doing that he had been on that battlefield, that he had come so far - and she cannot regret it, but it would have been a great weight on her if it had led to the Halfling's death.
